1. Slots on a motherboard where memory modules (RAM) can be inserted to provide additional memory for the computer.
2. A technique used by CPUs to improve instruction throughput by overlapping the execution of multiple instructions.
3. Increasing the operating frequency of a CPU beyond its default specifications to achieve higher performance, often requiring improved cooling solutions.
4. A device that converts electrical power from a source to a format that can be used by a computer or electronic device.
5. A list of all the instructions that a CPU can execute.
6. An integrated circuit that contains the processing unit of a computer.
7. A type of heatsink with extended metal fins that increase the surface area for better heat dissipation from a CPU or other hot components.
8. Electrical device used to provide airflow and cool down components, such as a CPU, by moving air and dissipating heat.
9. The central processing unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the computer.
10. The physical size and shape of a motherboard, which determines its compatibility with computer cases and other hardware components.
11. A substance applied between a CPU and a heatsink to enhance thermal conductivity.
12. The rate at which a CPU can execute instructions, measured in cycles per second.
13. The primary component of a computer that executes instructions and performs calculations.
14. Slots on a motherboard where expansion cards, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards, can be inserted to enhance the functionality of the computer.
15. The specific type of memory used by GPUs to store and retrieve data required for video processing and rendering.
16. A method of cooling a CPU or other components using a liquid, typically circulating it through tubes and a radiator to dissipate heat more effectively.
17. A small, high-speed memory used to store frequently accessed data and instructions.
18. A rendering technique to generate realistic images by tracing the path of light rays and simulating their interactions with objects.
19. A CPU architecture that includes multiple independent processing cores on a single chip.
