Every Computer Component Explained in 3 Minutes 

every human organ explained

You should do “Every Part in a Car/Car Engine”, you could even include EV Motors as well!

Motherboard: Heart CPU: brain Hard drive: memory RAM: notes turned in after class SSD: Notes app on your phone Graphics card: optic nerve/eyes Power supply: food cupboard Case: Skeleton/skin Cooling system: sweat glands Wireless card: Google Edit: this is what I got out of the video, I know little to nothing about computer biology, and human biology also isn't my strongest suit lmao

As a software engineer who often works very closely with the graphics card, I'd just like to give a slight correction. The graphics card isn't defined by having the ability to draw pixels on the screen - but almost all of them do (some cards such as ones for cryptocurrency mining have no output to a screen). What graphics cards really do is give the ability to do the same thing thousands of times in parallel. This is used for things where the order of operations makes no difference. A CPU can also do things in parallel with threads/cores, but every CPU core is far more powerful than a single GPU core. That's why your CPU comes with a handful of cores while a GPU often has thousands. A GPU is just really good at doing the same thing thousands of times at the same time. "Graphics card" is bit of a misnomer, because while it's often used heavily in graphics, it does a lot more than just show pixels.

Thanks for being short and quick to the point and not posting two part 20 min long videos that I could have explained 5 mins. Subscribe earned.

Literally was looking to buy a new PC and realized I know nothing about computers when this dropped. Thanks for the beginner's explanation!

This breakdown simplifies complex computer components brilliantly, making it easy for anyone to grasp. I appreciate how it covers everything from the motherboard to the cooling system, providing a comprehensive understanding. Great job on making tech concepts accessible!

Finally I understand those components. When I was young all that people teached me was "this is the CPU (talking about the whole tower), it's the brain of the computer and where all its conected" and that's it.

Once again (as someone who can hardly understand computers), you've taught me things teachers have been unable to. Thank you for your concise and easy-to-understand explanations! Now I actually know how the basic parts of a computer work!

I love this channel so much. Explains everything so well yet so simply.

1:40 You forgot to mention that RAM means "Random Access Memory"

This is actually really helpful. Ty!

Thank you for explaining this! I was searching for a video that would easily help me understand how PC's work since I'm currently trying to upgrade my own PC.

Building a PC right now. This is the best video I've found that explains what each part does. Thanks!

Also made a video on computer viruses

Another video, something new to learn! Nice content, Paint Explainer!

As a cs teacher, these videos are legit helpful as nice quick summaries or introductions for lessons, thanks for the videos!

I would have done the video differently, but for a 3 minute explanation the information is very clear without going into too much detail. Very nice.

The only bad thing about this channel is the sheer amount of copycats it has created, which says a lot.

Another banger as usual 🔥

Ok, this is actually helpful - I was planning to build a pc and this made it much easier

Thanks for making this video. I am a computer nerd, and I struggle to explain what the parts do, and you explain it here in a very simple format.

Bold of you to assume my case is made of plastic

Short and to the point perfect for new builders.

I'm in a computer science class and this is teaching me a lot in just 3 minutes.

Thank you I really needed this :) I am studying for Comptia+

Also the power supple's job is to convert AC to DC

I enjoy these kinds of explainer 💗✨

OMG, this is the best summarization I have ever heard!

I actually had a computer test on this topic thank you

very good explanation of all components. next you should do most electrical components next

I see huge potential in this channel!!!

nice advice bro thx

What a coincidence! This is what we're learning. Thank you for making the lesson much easier to understand.

I love the videos dude

The motherboard feeds the consumer

Thank you so much dude

Amazing content

Awesome channel with mountains of information, good job.

2:35 Most cases are more metal than plastic, as metal is more durable than plastic.

I love your videos so much

I already knew this but i needed to show my family this

Nice explanation.

Whole school year in 3 minutes

Simple explains but useful

They taught IT for like 4 years as a side in the middle school, and I never learned this much. Thanks man.

As a computer enthusiast myself, I'd say, at 0:30 there are specific names for certain units, (which in this case you said the CPU performs various intricate mathematical operations), there actually is a name for this, and it is known as "ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)", and its purpose is to deal/perform all the logic related and mathematical operations. In the slightest, is also has some correlations with FPU (Floating-point Unit), which operates on floating point numbers.

ah yes that wireless card i had seen some people having it and actually i have wired cable to internet generally this video was good to listenmost things i already

This is the most educational thing ive watched since watching tim and moby back in elementary school

You explain things in a way I actually understand. Might be useful to me if you made a video on how to use a computer? It'd be nice to be able to have one without the fear and certainty that I will kill it with ignorance.

Thank you!

I honestly wasn't expecting the wifi card to be included haha. What about thermal paste/pads though? Isn't electronic in any way but I feel like the cooler section would've been a nice place to introduce thermal paste and explain why its needed. Other than that I'll be sharing this vid with friends!

Though not common in home computer systems, there is also the npu (neural processing unit) and tpu (tensor processing unit)

Regarding the 'graphics card' and the CPU, it isn't quite correct. What actually exists is a GPU chip inside the CPU, which is essentially an "integrated graphics processing unit" and not a graphic card. No offense, love your videos! Just an IT guy here.

describe every period in history! modernity, middle ages, etc

This sounds familiar

Plz do a vid on every mobile component

Could you explain every electric and electronic circuit component in an unspecified amount of minutes?

2:48 I wish you explained the upsides and downsides of a fan cooling and liquid cooling system

god daym i am subscribing

The Oregon Science Museum (OMSI) has this game/puzzle where it shows parts of the computer and you put each puzzle on the part of the computer, if you remove the puzzle it'll show a screen saying an error, why that part is important and how a virus can affect it.

hello, I love your videos, I would like to know what software you use to make this kind of video please

In 3 minutes you explained more stuff than my college did in a whole semester 👌🏻🗿

can you do every car component explained?

Idea: every outrageous piece of modern 'art' explained

WiFi support doesn’t necessarily require a wireless card. Many modern motherboards have WiFi hardware built into them. In fact, most motherboards I looked into when I last upgraded my computer have far fewer slots available for expansion cards; seems people expect the motherboard to handle nearly _everything_ these days. (I managed to find one that just barely has enough slots for the cards I needed to add.)

i wish i had this last year when i had a project on this

main parts of a car next

Man this would have been great to have in my Computer Class like... 20 years ago.

Literally building a PC right now and this pops up in my recommended

I dont understand computers. But i like your funny words, magic man.

finally something i can understand

I wouldn't mind more computer-related stuff.

SSD shown is NVMe tho, which connects to the motherboard and uses PCI-e and not Sata cable as an HDD would

This video helped me with my software issues.

Fun fact: it takes about 3 hours to watch all of his videos start to end

My guy!

Reminds me 6 months ago when my teacher in the computer class wanted to explain how a computer works, it took her a whole ahh month just to fully explain them, meanwhile you who did it in 3 mins, W

don't u think psu is actually the heart it is literally pumping energy to components and motherboard is holding everything and makes sure to everything works properly which makes a skeleton and chassis is a skin

Im so glad this exists i can finally barely understand a technobabble

Incredibly you explained it better than my hardware teacher 😂

I'm not sure why you never actually explained what RAM stands for yet you explained what CPU stands for. By the way from what I remember RAM stands for random Access memory. Anyways great video and I think you explained everything perfectly. Even the stuff that I actually may be less familiar with although I'm kind of familiar with all the parts

I dont think 95% of the world realise how complicated of a system a computer actually is

My ass ain’t known nothing except power, and cooling. 😭🙏

Also, have you ever heard of that way of cooling where people dump a shit load of clear coolant in a watertight case, and they add a fish tank cooler to cool it? 💀

Forgot to mention power supply, even thought it’s insanely self explanatory.

SSDs are made from cells that can trap electrons when sending a lot of electrons, and release them when massaged with just a little bit of electrons. These microscopic cells can be stacked in 3 dimensions and each cell is miniscule I have no idea how SSDs read their memory though. Each line of cells from an SSD when read sends the contents of that line of cells, maybe each line of cells when a flow of electron runs across will modify it based on whats stored in the cell, with electrons being less likely to be where cells have trapped electrons, while being more plenty across empty cells HDDs are made from a magnetic surface that can be flipped from one state to another with another magnet. storage happens in two dimensions, and the reading is done via one stick that has to run across the whole disk to find the right information, then sends the data.

Tip: to make your PC run faster, use a plastic bag as your Case to make cooling more efficient!

A few things that I noticed that were slightly odd were the analogy about motherboards being like the heart of the computer. The motherboard supplies power and data to and between most of the components respectively and not really much else, so it’s more like the computers blood system, nervous system and skeleton. Also, cases are usually made out of metals like Aluminum, not plastic. A quite important thing that you missed about power supplies is that they regulate and control how much power goes through all of the components so that they don’t get fried.

The multiverse again!

I like your videod man.

Just in time for my computing science exam

Motherboard: Infected with a virus by The Hacker, who's still trying to overtake cyberspace to this day.

Hey mate I realized you didn't go into the difference between Serial ATA and parallel ATA. Also the wireless card is technically called a network interface card, or nic for short, it's not just for wireless it's also for Wired.

Technically the mobo can have wifi capabilities integrated in it, thus eliminating the need for a wifi card separately

about the graphics card: that definition is more of a GPU since a graphics card in an add-on GPU also it's not a standalone computer, the main difference between it and the CPU being the CPU having tens of smart cores while the GPU has 100s or thousands of dumber cores for fast but simple calculations (also it needs orders from the cpu to work)

Some people mistake an entire desktop computer for a CPU (central processing unit.)
