PC Assembly

by LAI YEE JEN

Introduction

In this assignment, we are required to write a report on how to step-by-step assemble or demonstrate the assembly of a PC. We did a lot of research on this since majority of us do not know how to assemble a PC. 

 

PART A – Tools Needed

1. Screwdrivers

Screwdriver is used for screwing (installing) and unscrewing (removing) screws.

 

2. Pliers

Plier is used to remove and insert jumpers on motherboards and hard drives. It can also be used to cut wires.

 

3. Heat Sink Compounds

Heat Sink Compound is used to eliminate air gaps or spaces (which act as thermal insulation) from the interface area in order to maximize heat transfer and dissipation. It helps to improve the thermal efficiency of heat sinks and improves cooling.

 

4. Cable Ties

Cable tie is used to bundle the wires neatly and cables away from fans and other components inside the computer.

 

5. Flashlights

Reflection

After this assignment, we are able to identify and distinguish basic components of CPU. We are also able to understand functions of the CPU basic components and the process to assemble a PC. During this assignment, we learnt a lot of new terms related to the PC, such as, IDE Slots, Jumper Setting and Master/Slave.
