Which chip in the North and South Bridge controls the HDD IDE?

It is worthy of professional personnel!! The 1st floor is very good! Very right !! Suggest his opinion! And for ordinary people, it is very easy to understand!

Chipset: It is the core of the motherboard's circuitry. In a sense, it determines the level and grade of the motherboard.

It is a collective name for "South Bridge" and "North Bridge", which is a chipset that integrates previously complex circuits and components into several chips to the greatest extent.

Northbridge: It is the chip closest to the CPU on the motherboard, which is responsible for the connection with the CPU and controls the transmission of memory, AGP, and PCI data within the northbridge.

Nanqiao: A chip on the motherboard, mainly responsible for the control of the IO interface and IDE devices, such as keyboards, mice, hard disks, optical drives and other external devices.

There are too many for a while and I can't understand it.

Let's take two points and go...

All I can say is that they all have their own control chips to control.

After the CPU is distributed.

Depressed, we rookies learn some knowledge, you can't say more.

What do points represent?

The north bridge and the south bridge are the two most important chipsets on the motherboard, and they are both bus controllers. They are bus control chips. BIOS is"Basic input-output system"。

BIOS: It is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the motherboard of the computer, which stores the most important basic input and output programs of the computer, the self-test program and the system auto-start program, and it can read and write specific information about the system settings from the CMOS. Its main function is to provide the lowest-level, most straightforward hardware setup and control for the computer.

Northbridge: It is mainly responsible for the data exchange between the CPU and the memory, and controls the transmission of AGP and PCI data within it, which is the main determinant of the motherboard's performance. As the chip becomes more and more integrated, it also integrates a number of other functions.

For example, due to the integration of the memory controller in Althon64; In its NF3 250, NF4 and other chipsets, NVIDIA has removed the south bridge, while adding gigabit networking, serial port hard disk control and other functions to the north bridge.

Nanqiao: The Nanqiao chip is mainly responsible for the control of some peripheral interfaces such as the I-O interface, the control of IDE equipment and additional functions, etc.

I'm sorry, but I'm not good at these issues.

It's a blue chip that mainly plays a controlling role.

A simpler way to judge is to directly look at its producer, which company is from it, such as ASUS, MSI or something, and the quality will not be bad, 1. What is the main difference between Southbridge and Northbridge chips?

Nanqiao is mainly responsible for IO

Northbridge is used for CPU and memory, graphics card, PCI to exchange data.

2。How to cleverly distinguish between Southbridge and Northbridge chips?

Distinguish between the Southbridge chip and the Northbridge chip with the function:

Northbridge: It is mainly responsible for the data exchange between the CPU and the memory, and controls the transmission of AGP and PCI data within it, which is the main determinant of the motherboard's performance. As the chip becomes more and more integrated, it also integrates a number of other functions. Such as:

Due to the integration of the memory controller inside the althon64;In its NF3 250, NF4 and other chipsets, NVIDIA has removed the south bridge, while adding gigabit networking, serial port hard disk control and other functions to the north bridge. At present, the mainstream brands of Beiqiao Core Sign include VIA, NVIDIA and SIS.

Of course, the quality of these chips is not determined by the motherboard manufacturer, but what kind of chip production the motherboard manufacturer adopts directly determines the performance of the motherboard. For example, the same chip using VIA has KT600> KT400A> KT333>KT266A and so on.

At present, on the mainstream AMD platform, the optional chipsets are: KT600, NF2, K8T800, NF3, etc.;For Intel platforms, there are PE, PT PE, 848P, etc.

Nanqiao: The Nanqiao chip is mainly responsible for the control of some peripheral interfaces such as the I-O interface, the control of IDE equipment and additional functions, etc. The common ones are via, etc.;Intel's CH4, CH5, CH6, etc.;NVIDIA'S MCP, MCP-T, MCP RAID, etc. In this part, there is not much difference between a brand-name motherboard and an ordinary motherboard, but a brand-name motherboard has become the first choice for many people with its excellent workmanship.

It is not excluded that some motherboards with slightly lower quality may use more powerful South Bridges in order to survive the competition.

Distinguish between the Southbridge chip and the Northbridge chip by the position of the chip on the main version:

The Northbridge chip is a chip located near the CPU socket, which is usually covered with a heat sink.

Compared with the northbridge chip, the southbridge chip is mainly responsible for communicating with IDE equipment, PCI equipment, sound equipment, network equipment and other IO equipment, and the southbridge chip can only see the traditional BGA packaging mode so far. In addition, in addition to the traditional classification method of the north-south bridge chip, you can also see the integrated design scheme, which is often seen on the SIS chipset, combining the north-south bridge chip into one chip, this design scheme has unique features, but it has not been widely promoted.

No, the North and South Bridges together are a chipset, one piece each.
