Look at this simplified motherboard connection flow:
Power supply -> Power connector -> Motherboard -> CPU socket -> CPU

What is the correct sequence for power delivery to the CPU?
APower supply -> CPU socket -> Power connector -> CPU
BPower supply -> Power connector -> CPU socket -> CPU
CPower connector -> Power supply -> CPU socket -> CPU
DCPU -> CPU socket -> Power connector -> Power supply
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Trace power flow from source

    Power starts at the power supply, goes to the power connector on the motherboard.
  2. Step 2: Follow power to CPU

    From power connector, power flows to CPU socket, then to the CPU itself.
  3. Final Answer:

    Power supply -> Power connector -> CPU socket -> CPU -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Power flow = supply to CPU via connector and socket [OK]
Quick Trick: Power flows supply -> connector -> socket -> CPU [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Reversing power flow order
  • Mixing connector and socket positions
  • Assuming CPU sends power out
