The power of graphic cards does not stop increasing, many of them need a direct power supply of the main block (sometimes even two). This is the function of this connector. Initially of 6 pins, more and more we can find them of 8.

It is the cable that connects the hard drives to the card mandre.

The most classic and still present in all computers, sometimes used directly on the motherboard, serves to connect the hard drive and drives of all kinds.

Connects to the motherboard and is exclusively for the processor power, without it it is impossible to start the computer Currently most motherboards have 8 pins, due to the increase in CPU power.

It is the one that feeds the motherboard, formerly of 20 pins, the current standard provides 24 pins. It is almost always composed of a block of 20 pins, to which we can add a block of 4 pins. This in order to respect the compatibility with the old plates with 20 pin connectors.

That is an electrical concept. Usually this is talked about when talking about audio or audio systems.
Mini-ATX motherboards were designed with MoDT (Mobile on Desktop technology) that adapts mobile CPUs for lower power requirements and less heat generation, which can be beneficial for home theater PCs (HTPC), PCs for cars or industrial use.


Is basically responsible for transforming the alternating current of the commercial electric line into direct current; which is used by the electronic and electrical elements of the computer. Other functions are to supply the amount of current and voltage that the devices require.
Sends a signal to the main source, telling it to turn on or off, the auxiliary always staying on, and always connected to the 220 VAC supply. The operation of this button is very similar to the button on the remote control of a television.

Refers to the cable that connects the computer to the electrical system and that gives the power to it. It is the cable that goes from the power socket to the power source of the computer, usually located in the upper rear part of the cabinet.
