PSU:

-150mm by 140mm by 86mm.
-Connectors.
-Requires motors.
-Motherboard 24pin or 20pin and 4 or 6 or 9pins.
-Mini connector 5V and 12V only.

 CPU:

-Is a multiplatform which is essentially used for a computer.
-Translates an application.
-CPU is always thinking.

-It tell the other CPU parts on how to operate. And where to store the results.

Also did some notes on ATX which has to do with motherboards.

-The CMOS menu has your power set up.
-12V 1.3.

-EPS12V and ATX12V but the EPS has more current.
-24pin P1 AUX P4 and a unique 8pin.
-ATX12V2.0 has a 24pin and is backwards compatible but however more pins will not work for the P4.
-8pin CPU 4pinXP4.
-Two RAILS no AUX.
-SATA PCIe 6 or 8pin.
-Has 4 pins that are compatible with the P4.
-Some motherboards use a molex instead.
