Question Question about front-side bus speed

[The_4_]

I recently started studying CompTIA+ I am at the subject of front-side bus speed, and picking respective memory to that speed. But how does one determine a motherboard's bus speed without the access to for example "CPU-Z"? I tried googling some random recent motherboards and looking on the manufacturer's website for a front-side bus speed, but they don't seem to be listed in the specification tab. I feel like I'm looking the wrong way at the full picture. I know that FSB speed relates to CPU Speed and such, but isn't there like a "maximum and minimum"? Or is there like a website that does list these kind of details?

Sorry if it sounds dumb!

You can find out "FSB" clock rates by quering specs on chipsets. But you'll really need to know the proper name it refers for each chipset. Front Side Bus was a term coined for older system architectures where much of the system, including memory controller, was in the chipsets and doesn't always describe the same thing on modern systems with SoC CPU's where the memory controller is in the CPU.

What motherboard are you interested in knowing this about?

Thank you, this clears it up a bit for me. No I was just trying to find out how it works so I googled some random motherboards. Thank you however
