The motherboard is another essential part of a computer. Without this part, the CPU or the RAM would have nowhere to go. The motherboard hols most of the components and also acts as a chipset for automatic cooling, presuming you have fans anyway. Like the CPU, it's in basically everything electronic. The motherboard so,is very important, overall.
Two of the main motherboard producers for PCs are ASUS and Gigabyte. These two companies offer different products at somewhat different price points. Gigabyte tend to be the cheaper one, offering the basics with some added features. ASUS boards can be very expensive. But with this, you get L.E.D boards, more fan headers, more supportable RAM, more GPU slots etc.
Like the CPU's, motherboards use much of one material, in this case it's fibreglass. This provides good insulation, and copper, which are the wires for the board. The copper sheets are placed on to the fibreglass and they become stuck in place in the heating press. This results in a 1.6mm thick board. The copper sheets cover the whole of the fibreglass, which won't do because the current won't go to the needed destination. Excess copper is removed to allow single wires to be put in place. This is done multiple times as there are multiple layers on a single board. Holes are then drilled. Some will become mounting holes for the PC case. Something to do with copper and tin plating happens ant then the board is tested. The board is now ready for actual parts like capacitors to be soldered on. Larger things like the processor holder are soldered through the hole, which means wire are put through the board and soldered on with a big machine. Lastly, the board is put up for a stress test.
