Step 3Install Components - Motherboard
The motherboard connects all of the PC together. It is home to the CPU and the interfaces for the disk drives and hard drives.
First, we want to mount the motherboard before we connect any wires or put in the processor. There are most probably four to six screws in the mounting.
After the motherboard is mounted, the next step is to insert the processor. Though it varies with technicalities, all processors generally are locked into place and then the heatsink is put on top of them to, well, remove the heat and prevent the processor from overheating. Instructions for installing both of these components lie inside their boxes, so check there if you need specifics.
