The motherboard is the most important component of your PC. If you crack your motherboard or one of its connections malfunctions, it’s curtains for your PC. Unfortunately, motherboards also seem like a mysterious and magical entity to those who aren’t tech aficionados. With so many parts, pieces, and components, figuring out each individual part’s purpose can seem like brain surgery.
