For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0031] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described above can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0032] A desktop motherboard structure without the south bridge chipset, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, including:
[0033] The circuit substrate 1 is used as a circuit carrier for various electronic components of the desktop motherboard;
[0034] The CPU unit 2 is located in the middle of the circuit substrate 1 and is used as a computing and control module of the desktop computer;
[0035] In this embodiment, the CPU unit 2 is a BGA CPU unit.
[0036] A card slot 3, used for inserting a memory card, is located on one side of the CPU unit 2;
[0037] In this embodiment, the card slot 3 is a dual DDR5 UDIMM card slot.
[0038] It should be noted that UDIMM, the full name of which is Unbuffered DIMM, means that the address and control signals directly reach the DRAM chip on the DIMM without passing through a buffer or making any timing adjustments. Since UDIMM does not have any cache between the CPU and the memory, the latency is smaller at the same frequency.
[0039] It should be further explained that, in some embodiments, the size specifications and the limiting method of the card slot 3 can be selectively set according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.
[0040] The IO control module 4 is located on a side of the CPU unit 2 adjacent to the card slot 3 and is used to execute instructions of the CPU unit 2 to control the IO devices of the desktop computer;
[0041] The BIOS storage module 5 is used as the most basic input / output system of the desktop motherboard and is located on one side of the IO control module 4;
[0042] In this embodiment, the BIOS storage module 5 is a QFN packaged BIOS storage module.
[0043] It should be noted that compared with the SOP packaged chip used in the traditional motherboard structure, the QFN packaged BIOS storage module used in this motherboard structure has the physical advantages of small size, light weight and large storage capacity, and has the quality advantages of strong heat dissipation, good electrical performance and high reliability, which can make the data transmission between the BGA CPU unit and the dual DDR5 UDIMM card slot more efficient and stable.
[0044] The BIOS storage module 5 and the IO control module 4 are both directly electrically connected to the CPU unit 2 .
[0045] It should be noted that the present embodiment directly transmits data with the CPU unit 2 through integrated chips such as the BIOS storage module 5 and the IO control module 4, and there is no need to install a south bridge chipset as a communication bridge. This can effectively reduce the number of electronic components on the motherboard and reduce the weight of the overall structure of the motherboard, and has beneficial effects such as safety and low cost.
[0046] The metal guide module includes a buckle 14 and a metal guide 15 abutting against the CPU unit 2 . The metal guide 15 is arranged on the circuit substrate 1 through the buckle 14 . The buckle 14 is buckled and connected to the circuit substrate 1 .
[0047] It should be noted that, compared with the setting mode in which the external heat sink (not shown) on the traditional motherboard cannot directly contact the CPU unit 2, the present embodiment uses the metal guide plate to abut the CPU unit 2 and the external heat sink respectively, so that the heat generated by the CPU unit 2 during operation can be quickly transferred to the external heat sink, and finally quickly dissipated to the outside through the external heat sink, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the motherboard and improving the stability and reliability of the CPU unit operation.
[0048] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in order to further enhance the heat dissipation effect, the mainboard may further include a heat collecting plate group 7 and a radiator clamp 8, the radiator clamp 8 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the CPU unit 2, the external radiator is buckled and connected to the radiator clamp 8, and the heat collecting plate group 7 is abutted against the external radiator; the heat collecting plate group 7 efficiently concentrates most of the heat generated by other electronic components on the mainboard during operation, and then quickly dissipates the heat to the outside through the external radiator.
[0049] It should be noted that compared with the traditional motherboard structure that directly fixes the external radiator on the circuit substrate 1 with screws, the present motherboard structure, through the setting of a pair of radiator clips 8 on both sides of the CPU unit 2, and then by connecting the external radiator clips to the radiator clips 8, can achieve rapid installation or removal of the external radiator, which is beneficial for the staff to efficiently assemble or repair the motherboard. At the same time, since the radiator clips 8 can support larger external radiators, the overall heat dissipation effect of the motherboard can be effectively improved.
[0050] In this embodiment, the heat sink clip 8 is fixed on the circuit substrate 1 by threaded connection.
[0051] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the connection and fixing method between the heat sink clip 8 and the circuit substrate 1 can be selectively set according to actual needs, and is not limited to the threaded connection method, and is not specifically limited here.
[0052] Furthermore, the present embodiment also includes a power connection port 9 , a PCIE port 10 , a data transmission port 11 , an audio connection port 12 and a hard disk socket 13 .
[0053] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation process, the power connection port 9 is used to electrically connect to an external power source, the data transmission port 11 is used to transmit data to an external electronic device, the audio connection port 12 is used to connect to an audio device, and the hard disk socket 13 is used to connect to a hard disk; wherein, the full name of PCIE is Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, which is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. PCIE belongs to high-speed serial point-to-point dual-channel high-bandwidth transmission, and the connected devices are allocated exclusive channel bandwidth and do not share bus bandwidth. It mainly supports active power management, error reporting, end-to-end reliability transmission, hot plugging, and quality of service functions.
[0054] In this embodiment, the hard disk socket 13 is an M.2 hard disk socket.
[0055] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the model of the hard disk socket 13 can also be selectively set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.
[0056] In this embodiment, the circuit substrate 1 is arranged in a rectangular structure.
[0057] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the structural shape of the circuit substrate 1 can also be set according to actual needs, such as a circle, an irregular polygon, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0058] In the specific implementation process, this embodiment further includes a tantalum capacitor module 6 which is evenly distributed in a linear manner at intervals on a side of the CPU unit 2 away from the card slot 3 .
[0059] It should be noted that compared with the aluminum electrolytic capacitors used on traditional motherboards, the tantalum capacitors on this motherboard structure have the advantages of high energy density, high reliability, high stability of electrical properties and a wider operating temperature range, which can make the data transmission and line current between the BGACPU unit and the dual DDR5 UDIMM card slots more stable.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
