Exam 220-1101 topic 1 question 107 discussion

C, F is the correct answer. Optical drives and GPUs consume the most power.

Agree, C and F must be correct answer.

If a technician made several upgrades to a computer and then determined the power supplied by the PSU is insufficient, the upgraded graphics card and adding more RAM would most likely cause the insufficiency. Upgrading the graphics card and adding more RAM can increase the power consumption of a computer, which can cause the power supplied by the PSU to be insufficient. Adding more RAM and upgrading the graphics card are the most likely causes of the insufficiency of power supplied by the PSU. These upgrades require more power to operate efficiently and can cause the PSU to become insufficient.

the answer is CF the optical drive requires additional power from the PSU the Graphics card are the one of the most power hungry components in a computer and upgrading to more powerful cars can significantly increase power consumption

Correct answer is CF

The Correct answer is AF

D. Adding more RAM: Additional RAM modules require more power to operate. The more RAM modules you add, the higher the power consumption, especially if the computer previously had a lower amount of RAM. F. Upgrading the graphics card: More powerful graphics cards often require more power to run efficiently. High-performance graphics cards with advanced features and higher processing capabilities consume more power than their lower-end counterparts. If the technician upgraded to a more powerful graphics card, it might be drawing more power than the PSU can provide, leading to insufficiency.

The correct answer should be C and F as SSD consumes less power than HDD.

D and F

The amount of RAM has little or no effect on power consumption of PC components - using between 2W - 5.5W. The power consumption for a SATA DVD drive is 15W-27W, for a SATA Blue-Ray Drive is 25W-30W.

he two upgrades that are most likely to cause the PSU (Power Supply Unit) to become insufficient are: Upgrading the graphics card: Graphics cards consume a significant amount of power, and upgrading to a more powerful graphics card can put a strain on the PSU. The more powerful the graphics card, the more power it will need to function correctly. Adding more RAM: RAM modules also consume power, and adding more RAM to the system can increase the overall power consumption. Although the power consumption of RAM is relatively low compared to other components, it can still contribute to an insufficient PSU, especially if the other upgrades have already increased power consumption.

Adding an optical drive would not likely cause a power supply insufficiency by itself. It would depend on the specific details of the upgrade and the specifications of the computer and power supply. Other factors such as the power requirements of the optical drive and how it interacts with the rest of the system would need to be considered. so the answer is DF

Yes it's C and F https://www.buildcomputers.net/power-consumption-of-pc-components.html SSDs use less power than HDDs

F and C is likely correct

A and F is the answer because 2.5" SSDs, in contrast, have power requirements more along the lines of 5V 1.7A (or 8.5 watts). Optical drives consume just 1.5 to 5 Watts of power during idle, so they add very little to the total power consumption of PC components

C and F are the correct answers.

For example, Nvidia's RTX 3080 has a maximum power draw of around 340W, which means you'll need a PSU that can accommodate the GPU plus your other hardware (the CPU, motherboard, RAM, sound card, and other peripherals). You'll also have to upgrade your power supply if it doesn't. Also it says ADDING RAM, more RAM more power is being drawn. I am going D and F dor this one as optical drives dont draw as much power as everything else. Plus I wouldn't consider upgrading a computer with adding an optical drive, yeah it is a bit subjective but I don't have an optical drive on my PC and don't plan on "upgrading" it with adding one.
