PC Parts

PC Parts are the parts of PCs. They are extremely important in The Adventure Series Universe as they are what The PC Guy Empire, the primary group of antagonists in The Adventure Series, is focused around.

## Types of Parts

### CPUs

CPUs are the primary processor of the PC, and are used to perform most of the calculations required by the PC's software.

### GPUs

GPUs, most commonly found on a Graphics Card, are more specialised processors that are very good at calculating arithmetic, they are used to process what is seen on the screen of the PC.

### RAM

RAM, or memory, are extremely fast data storage chips that are used to store any data required by the CPU, data stored on RAM is lost when a PC reboots. vRAM is also RAM, but baked onto the circuit of the GPU and so does not count as a separate part.

### Motherboard

Motherboards are the main circuit board of the PC and are what the rest of the PC uses to communicate with each other, it is also the structural backbone of the PC. They contain PCIe slots (generally 1-8), RAM slots (generally 2-8), CPU sockets (generally 1-2) and internal and external ports. Exlusiive to PC Guy's PCs are motherboards with up to four CPU sockets, 16 PCIe gen 3 x64 slots and up to 32 RAM slots.

### CPU Coolers

CPU coolers are used to cool the CPU. they can either be air-based or liquid based. CPU coolers usually contain three parts, contact with the CPU, a heat dissipation system, and one or more fans. Alternatively, the CPU can be cooled with full liquid cooling. Graphics cards and even some SSDs have coolers but are not separate parts.

### SSDs

SSDs are long-term storage devices for PCs, they are notable for being slower than RAM, but faster than HDDs, data stored on SSDs are retained when a PC reboots. Several types of SSDs are available such as PCIe SSDs, NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs, each with varying speed.

### HDDs

HDDs are like SSDs however the technology is much older, they are therefore much easier to produce than SSDs, however, they are much slower. They are therefore mainly used for long-term storage. Only SATA types are available.

### Cases

Cases are used to protect the PC and hold all the parts in the correct position. They are by far the largest part and make up the majority of the size and weight of a PC.

### Power Supplies

Power Supplies, most commonly found in a PSU, are used to supply the correct voltage and amperage to the correct parts of the PC, they interact with the rest of the PC using 24-pin, 4-pin, 6-pin and 8-pin ATX power connectors, as well as SATA power ports. It is notable that PC Guy's PCs do not use MOLEX ports due to the fact they belong in an antique shop.

### Expansion Cards

Expansion cards add more internal and external ports or connectivity to PCs. Exclusively to PC Guy's PCs are PCIe splitter cards, which split the PC Guy Exclusive PCIe gen 3 x64 slots into four PCIe gen 3 x16 slots for four more cards. Examples of other cards are USB cards, NVMe cards, sound cards, wired networking cards and wireless networking cards.

### Fans

Fans are used to cool the PC. There are generally three sizes of case and radiator fans, they are 120mm, 140mm and 200mm though custom sizes exist. They are generally available in two types which are static pressure for radiators and high airflow for cases. To avoid confusion and loud PCs, all second generation pc Guy PCs have one exclusive size of PC fan, 160mm. Therefore radiators are 160, 320, 480 and 640mm with thicknesses of either 20mm for push only or 40mm for a push-pull configuration.

### Custom Liquid Cooling Parts

These are optional parts and include tubing, pumps, reservoirs, radiators, and connectors. Only the highest ends PCs require the use of these PC Parts. CPU coolers are not needed if these parts are used.

## Earth PC Parts

PC Parts on Earth are produced by a few major companies such as Intel, AMD and NVIDIA.

These PC Parts were used by PC Guys from the inception of The PC Guy Empire, all the way to The Adventure to Destroy the PC Guy Empire, in which most useful Earth PC Parts on MAC C were destroyed. These parts were directly stolen from Earth by PC Guys using a now destroyed portal that linked PC C and then MAC C to the PC Part factories in China.

These parts were also used by Linux Guys from the inception of their empire all the way until their coalition with the PC Guys. The Linux Guys frequently competed with the PC Guys for PC Parts as they both stole from the same factory.

## PC Guy's PC Parts

Since The Adventure to Destroy Linux Guy5313, PC Guys have constructed their own brands of PC parts that are more powerful. upgradeable and expandable than those found on earth. This was to prevent any PC Guy from getting caught stealing parts from PC factories on Earth and also to ensure every PC Guy type had the exact correct class of PC for their type. These parts were designed and built mostly by Human Prisoners. One of the main reasons the PC Guys invested in Human Prisoners rather than just cloning more PC Guys was that the PC Guys needed teaching how to design and create PCs as they were initially given only Industrial-Era-grade technology.

There have been two generations of parts, the first generation of parts which was fully implemented at the point of The Adventure to Annihilate the PC and Linux Guy Empires for Good, and the second generation of parts which was introduced after The Adventure to Retake the PC Guy Empire, as parts on Earth had caught up due to a 3.5-year downtime of PC Guy rule.

A PC Guy Info Video, explains all types of PC of the first generation of parts, with a second video explaining the second most powerful PC of this generation, the Hexagon PC.

It is notable that the Linux Guys used the first generation of PC Guy's PCs during The PC and Linux Guy Coalition. During the Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition, the Mac Guys also continued producing first-generation PC Parts using Human Prisoners, abet at a slower pace, as they did not know what to do with them due to using Mac Computers and consoles instead. These PC Parts were mostly discarded after (6) as by then they were rather outdated.

PC Guys also branched out into producing laptops, phones and tablets using similar parts to their PCs. It is notable that even PC Guys do not use Windows Phone as it is utterly abysmal.
