Thread: Where and how can I learn about computer hardware?

I recognize this is the put to learn but is there a way I should study about hardware or should I just read all the stickies? I’m sorry if this is indistinct. But I'll attempt to rephrase this.

I desire to learn about computer hardware, where and how can I learn this?

Yeah I'd say reading all the closed in all of the dissimilar areas should obtain you started quite well. As with each part they provide a description on how several components work and conditions and what to look at.

It's quite much what I did. You could also read random threads that have been solved and you can distinguish troubles and be able to diagnose them if you've seen sufficient.

Certainly read through wikipedia, its most of it is fine written, not super technical and will obtain a basic accepting of stuff. You will hit some parts that are great technical, think free to skip those unless you are microelectronics engineering major or something like.

Always sense free to ask questions, try to remain them sensibly exact because the super vague ones are hard to answer. Don’t ask flamebait questions like "Which is improved AMD or Intel?" because there isn’t a reply to that question.

If you ask fine worded questions and don’t mind reading through wordy answers, you will learn rapidly. And forever feel free to question the cause why something is better, if there aren’t benchmarks to endorsement the point then its opinion not fact and opinions can be wrong.

I lately returned to the hardware scene after a 5 or so year hiatus. Had many to catch up on. But just reading through the articles here on toms is overwhelming. Whenever something is stated you don’t appreciate, wikipedia it and plug in the gaps.

The hardware reviews and benches in exacting should not be missed, as toms are luminous for giving lots of background data and helpful stats.

This may sound stupid, but have you careful buying a textbook? I don't know what country you are from, but I am presently studying A Level Computing in the UK and have an AS Computing book which to be truthful is a very fine starting point at learning how things work. It does not go perhaps as entirely into depth as you may desire, I don't know, but adequately enough to obtain a good understanding of how different components and hardware devices work. And certainly, if you desire to further your learning after that you can continue to find other sources.

Just an thought, because I have found occasionally that sites such as Wikipedia do sometimes go to a technical level beyond what I recognize, which then can create it more difficult to understand the lower level stuff.

Wikipedia has many inadequacies but the common computer articles are quite good.

Google is very fine at looking up specific belongings - as long as you can devise a good search phrase.

The difficulty with books is that after the basics, they become outdated quite rapidly.

And last, you can learn many from building your own computer, chiefly if something goes wrong.

Fine to learn a lot of computer hardware you can

-Read all the sticks on Interweb for the hardware forums.

-Ask questions on the forums.

-Search for already asked questions in the search for info.

-I find the best way to learn about hardware is going to its manufacturer’s website like Intel, AMD, Nvidia, ATI and Corsair...etc...For how hardware works, almost always the website has a guide for you.

-Go to Google and type in how (Part) works.

-There is abundance other guides out there that will teach you the major belongings of components.
