15.1 Build a Computer From Scratch You work at a computer store. You are building a new computer for a customer. In this lab, your task is to: - Add the computer case to the Workspace and install the motherboard. - Connect the front panel connectors to the motherboard as follows: - Power switch - 3-1 pin Power LED (Note: There are locations for a 2-pin and a 3-1 pin Power LED connector on the motherboard. Make sure to use the 3-1 pin connector.) - HDD LED - Case speaker - Front fan - Rear fan - USB (Black Cable, 2.0) - Front panel audio - USB 3.0 - Install the processor, heat sink, and fan. - Install the memory so it will function in dual-channel mode. - Install a power supply and connect the computer to a power source. - Install the two SATA hard drives:

"Thermal management" is the electronics industry's term for "don't fry the chip."The Pentium 4 chip sits inside an epoxy package with 478 pins. The $\mathrm{CPU}$ itself has an area of $217 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$, contains 42 million transistors, and dissipates $70 \mathrm{~W}$ of power when running at full throttle. Measure the surface area of a 100-W lightbulb, and compare the power dissipated per area of a $100-\mathrm{W}$ lightbulb to that of a Pentium 4 chip. Pentium chips have a "thermal throttle" that automatically reduces power dissipation (and performance) of the chip if it overheats.
