Every motherboard will have at least one quartz crystal. This generates the basic timing signal that is used to produce the various frequencies required by the different parts of the system bus, as well as the processor speed itself. The crystal will usually be in the form of a small silver-colored can, this serves as a clock pulse producer. Crystals are an important component in oscillator circuit and RTC circuit.
In use within the scope of the component high speed, for example, PCH and EC as a series of generators-working conditions of the chipset component is the point.
Crystal in oscillator circuit can only be measured with oscilloscope-counter at least 100 MHz, but do not worry this component is rarely damaged except on the system itself or where the component is in place it on a circuit like input circuit before entering it, like resistor & comparator capacitor.
Location of the crystal is labeled as XTAL or X. Some examples of crystal oscillator frequencies are 4 mega hertz, 8 MHz, 16 MHz and so on.
