www.futurelook... - During our trip to Taiwan for COMPUTEX 2010, we scheduled a few excursions that took us off the show floor. One of them was a visit to GIGABYTE's Nan Ping factory which is located in Taoyuan, Taiwan. We had a chance to see the whole process of building a motherboard from beginning to end. If you've never seen one made, you have to check this out. It's amazing how many people have touched, inspected, and packaged your board before it makes it to the store shelves. All of this is done in under 10 minutes!

I can only say that the whole process of assembly is just beautiful, I just hope the workers get to switch station often to not get bored out of their minds :D

@mizar_copernicus138 6 лет назад

its videos like this where you come to realize how deeply our society depends on technology since even bacis electronics is build by other electronics

@Kahnivorous 14 лет назад

Very, very cool to see such serious attention to detail and care given to even the smaller budget motherboards. Nicely done and thanks for the experience. Futurelooks rocks!

@freeman2399 6 лет назад

OMG that's insane, those motherboards had a parallel port.

@rthd 8 лет назад

Its the colors that make it awesome. was amazed to see that there seemed to be a lot of huma intervention to get theseboards built... nvery surprised!

@lezbriddon 14 лет назад

I just want to thank gigabyte's uk service center, they fixed my board when it failed only 3 days left in its warranty, in 6 days it was returned, now thats service. they even replaced al little plastic clip i broke years ago! as a repair tech I have always recommended gigabyte boards and will continue to do so.

@kendelion 9 лет назад

this looks like a hard job! Miss 1 and it goes to the reject. It looks so boring as well! I love computers but i dont want this kind of job to sit 8hrs hands and eyes only moving! I dont have the patience to do that! :O

What a Geeky thing to do is tour a motherboard factory....... sure wish I was with ya.

@wuppas 13 лет назад

very complicated process making computer components.interesting video that every school should teach students compulsory at schools all over the world. it is good to know and have an idea about the technology of today that shapes our lives and is part of our lives for as long as we live.viva science and technology !

@kolajampe 13 лет назад

wow! what incredibly skilled people

Just incredible .. how technology today is !

@paulosantiago0 12 лет назад

Fantastico a produção cada um ficando resposnsavel pelo seu setor e serviços nota 10 pelo video. fiquei surpreso quando vir que era a produção das placas da GIGABYTE's.

@bornwisedistruction 14 лет назад

Wow I now have a new respect for my motherboard a lot of work goes in to making them nice vid thumbs up!

@zcinciev 13 лет назад

IF this is the process of making and packing a motherboards years back how does it look now with this new boards that have million connectors and the packing is(on the extreme boards)... Great video thanks for showing us that it's not as easy as many people think :D

@geneticrabbit 12 лет назад

it may be shaking but at least we can see whats going on. i know ill never get the chance to see this amazing factory in person so this is a fab job if you ask me they didn't have to put it on RU-vid did they? but they were kind enough to give us a chance to look at what they had experienced so just be a bit more grateful for small mercies. thankyou FUTURELOOKSDOTCOM thumbs up from me!

@websuspect 13 лет назад

They install the capacitors, Ram slots, SATA slots and heatsinks by hand. Each one gets a UPC serial and tested at the end! Before an employee places then in an Anti static bag and a box!

@ollebolle1736 11 лет назад

I have 6 or 7 comps with gigabyte motherboards, never had any problems! and I run them hard 24/7 all year long for several years! =)

@robert0joe 11 лет назад

When I saw the box, I immediately grabbed mine and it was the same exact motherboard.

@LaGranse 10 лет назад

I would go crazy working at the assembly line performing the same small task over and over for hours every workday.

@pigeonflayer 9 лет назад

Actually I prefer that type of work. Eventually it becomes muscle memory, and your brain is yours again to daydream or think about what ever you like to think about.

@jonathanoxlade4252 7 лет назад

yea till you go to a press machine and you daydream and crush your hands this is why injury in this work is possible you get used to doing it becomes second nature untill karma comes and runins your life always be aware of what you doing because people do lose fingers and hands to machines

@HikikomoriDev 7 лет назад

It's easier to do something like this and then not have to worry about complex tasks and risk of not being able to keep up with the work. It gives you a little space from anxiety.

@electronJarvs 6 лет назад

I did something like this some years ago but satalite boxes and ericsson mobiles. The sky mainboards after all parts were placed went through a wave soldering machine. Weights would be put onto the boards and would have to be taken off after going through. That was worse than placing parts tbh. Best job there was right at end of the line where the boards got touched up by hand. Still probably the most boring job I've had lol

@JustinBroderick 11 лет назад

I was actually surprised at how many real people were actually involved. Even for the stickers.

@neatoburritotx 14 лет назад

Notice the lack of workers jumping off buildings. This is how you do it right, Foxconn!

@lafond66 11 лет назад

What amazes me is how much labor is still required. I wonder when the cost will reach the point where all of that will be automated.

@inachu 9 лет назад

2:09 The finished soldered unit is then placed into a continuity checker to confirm pathways are complete and communication across the board is possible.

@inachu 9 лет назад

0:37 this process lays down some paste to hold the components in place so they do not move around when put into the assembly automated process. It is the same process as the silk screening method of printing t-shirts but in this example the design is not a threaded fabric but a thin metal plate with design cutouts to let the paste go through.

@shifty51008 8 лет назад

that is solder paste, it not only holds the parts down but the heat you see being applied later solders the parts with the paste.

@nzoomed 12 лет назад

Very interesting to see how they are made, its amazing how many individual components are put on these boards, mostly by machine, but the PCI slots and even the stickers are all done by hand! lol so many small stickers that have to go on the exact place, i wonder how ASUS compares?

@AndrzejIwaniuk 11 лет назад

First programmable computer The Z1, originally created by Germany's Konrad Zuse in his parents living room in 1936 to 1938 is considered to be the first electro-mechanical binary programmable (modern) computer and really the first functional computer.

@KelvinW344 9 лет назад

If the pick&place machine does most of the job, why do they still need people putting instruction booklets and folding boxes? Why isn't everything automated?

@sparda9060 8 лет назад

+KelvinW344 some asian countries require the company to hire a certain amount of workers as per contract in order for them to build a assembly factory there. Its a trade off so that the country's economy can be boosted and also help their citizen get jobs. Same shit in mexico with american car companies building factories over there, have to hire certain amount of workers.

@Oran19 10 лет назад

omg that's the exact same motherboard i had on my old pc gigabyte g31m-es2l

@Fieldofgoats 10 лет назад

Find the one that says "To LoLzArmy" and BAM you can point out all the people who touched your motherboard :)

@el-eezkori4l7.77 6 лет назад

AWESOME Very Cool Job Indeed

@Futurelooksdotcom 13 лет назад

@zcinciev GIGABYTE X58A-UD9 boards are also finished and packed at this factory as well. We just weren't fortunate to see them in product when we went on our tour last June. This is fairly recent still.

@TheHunterhal 12 лет назад

G31 is so great because if you are installing driver you have to disable network adapter to install sound driver :D

@nerdyrcdriver 11 лет назад

Something could have happened during that shipment. I now have a computer with a gigabyte motherboard and I haven't had any issues at all. Finally got rid of my asus mobo that flexed when I was moving and didn't package it properly. I am pretty sure that my teacher now has 2 rigs running gigabyte motherboards at the school almost 24/7.

@233kosta 11 лет назад

I think he means the first fully digital computer. That would be the Atanasov-Berry computer. More info on wikipedia if you're interested.

@Futurelooksdotcom 14 лет назад

@koxoxok I believe they are over 24 years old and they have many factories in Taiwan and China. Some plants have to get the hand me downs.

@inachu 9 лет назад

3:00 looking for missing parts, parts that sit wrong, bad solder joints that may pass auto inspection but must be cleaned up and fixed by hand.

Selling motherboard from age 13, 1986 ,xt xuko board lol n 44256 ramz, gigabyte mb are kool

@adammarinas4181 9 лет назад

the operators should have an ESD gowns and straps to protect the boards from ESD phenomenon. this will prevent the products from getting damaged.

@lolololololololol217 9 лет назад

All the components are high grade. And it is not that big of a deal as you think.

@TunsaMcHaggis 9 лет назад

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that the entire assembly area is a giant anti-static mat. Not to mention the sheer amount of metal in that area, I'm sure the boards are safe from ESD.

@Akalipt0s 10 лет назад

its so cool that you have real humans to do some job..keep up the good job and give money to people not companies

@voineaadi 10 лет назад

Companies are people!

@Akalipt0s 10 лет назад

by companies i mean dont give money just to big bosses.. (to few people)

@voineaadi 10 лет назад

yes, but companies pay "the little people" too. No matter how you look at it, we need companies. Everything you own was once produces by a big company, so they truly help us, both by creating jobs and by creating products. The "little people" are "little" only because they think little. The reality is most rich people out there were once poor, most millionaires and billionaires are self made. If they can get rich, you and I can get rich too. Nobody own the world, truth is we are all free. To various degrees, of course, according to the place where we live and how we think. But hey, we can change how we think first of all, right? And thus a new destiny was born...

@IlSinistero 10 лет назад

Adrian Voinea that all would be true if the system would still be fair, but today we have crony capitalism, some of the really rich "buy" politicans to set the rules in their favor, making it harder and harder for others to become rich too, they want no competition, they want all of the cake for themselves and no other people in their little club. if you don't believe it, just look up some studies, the rich getting richer and the middle class is getting smaller and also has less money - and its not getting smaller because such a lot of them becoming rich ;)

@mhauck99 9 лет назад

Don't worry they would put machines on if they knew they could get a higher profit.

It's unfortunate you didn't like the video. The original Flip Video we smuggled in did some amazing things for us. Hopefully you'll find our new videos more appealing. Thanks.

@jujuledruide6385 6 лет назад

heeeeee it's a gigabyte g31m-es2l right ? i've one at home , it's still runing with a old xeon X5460 at 3.8 ghz ( I use it only for video playback at home )

@sennjen 11 лет назад

A motherboard is something that goes into a computer. The CPU (processor) will go into the motherboard, so will the GPU (graphics processing unit) and Memory/RAM (Random Access Memory). If you're fresh, look at it this way: The CPU is the brain, the GPU is your eyes, the RAM is like, more = the computer can handle more tasks at the same time. The motherboard is your head which keeps everything together, and the computer is like the "body".

@Gordon302 10 лет назад

So, let me get this straight; people were still using PS/2 keyboards & mice, as well as an LPT1 (that pink/purple port) printer port? Maybe the VGA port.

@cbernier3 10 лет назад

They put those ports on the higher end motherboards just in case.

@MrRoyalblunts 10 лет назад

PS/2 is better then usb because it is a direct cpu interruption input. While usb is basically low priority. Better for gaming and what not.

@mitropoulosilias 9 лет назад

i tryed an gigabyte motherboard 6-7 years ago in amd athlon and it was ok. now i tryed again a new one but motherboard that suffers by high temperatures on the main chip of the motherboard.. i replaced my self the heatsinks of the motherboard using some heatsinks that i had and now it works like a charm.. i believe the problem is on the testing part of the products. how they missed that the heatsinks are not what the main chip needs?? high temperatures were the cause of blue screens while working in windows and the heatsink was extremelly hot after 15 minutes of use. there were no one to tell my problem but finally i gave a solution to the problem that designers do not care. cpu and ram temperatures was fine. only the main chip of the motherboard

@smartsensing6563 5 лет назад

Several problems here : Esd control and 5S

@stonehartfloydfan 12 лет назад

they used a test rig at one point yes... around the 2:30 point you will see the main test.. after all components are loaded I should expect they do a final test yes but we are not shown that as it skips to the packaging department. Used to work testing faulting boards when I was just out of University, paid ok but god it was a boring job lol.

@koxoxok 14 лет назад

wow. how old is this company? those machines used to place the IC chips are soooooo old. lol maybe its because its a show room. they're keeping those cool tech somewhere else.

@CronosXIIII 12 лет назад

@GoldDiamondHacker Yeah that is circuitry/wiring. You don't code binary. You make circuits that follow boolean algebra. Voltage usually equals 1 and lack of voltage 0.

I have never understood these production lines, where 70% is machine made, yet they need human to place a little sticker. I can understand that the human eye have to check wether an item is functioning or not. Is it just pure kindness having some jobs open? Or is it expensive to run those kind of machines? I'm very curious especially after watching alot of how it's made on Discorey :-) Interesting video by the way.

@Miguel2013 8 лет назад

so the chinese do the qualified hand work with the motherboard for some assembly and quality control, but who builds the solderer? is this chinese or usa technology.

@nerdyrcdriver 12 лет назад

I have a teacher that got 2 doa gb motherboards. I kind of skipped around the vid a bit, but did they actually test the motherboard in any way before sending it out? Or did they just have people eyeball it to make sure thousands of things are correct?
