High respect for the workers who produce these quality components.
Seeing such skilled and hard working people build this hardware, I feel pretty lucky to play video games for a living.

Hey wacky Im your sub
LOOOOL
why would u say such thing Graf?
Graf Johann Tilly. These time will never be over. This is just a beginning. Video game industry worth trillions of dollars. Get some education first. And don't forget to check the revenue of GTA V. Peace.
imagine being Linus and dropping all those motherboards.
He did
@@howtobebasic2122 what episode?
@Alex Marin thanks
LTT's legacy: 10M subs, and a guy that drops stuff. He will never live that down.
lol
This is a kind of job that after working hours, you really want to go home, eat, and sleep.. nothing else. Respect to these workers!
car factory same thing
like 90% jobs for people without qualifications
I wonder if younger staff work on the daughterboards?
Yes, along with their siblings who produce the brotherboards
Dadboards went to get the thermal paste… hope they’ll be back soon 😂
We think we cool building gaming PCs, but these people are making them from legit nothing. They the real MVPs making our pc builds a lot easier to build. Huuuge respect to them
Wide misconception, they make a living, enough to raise a family.
You need to remember 150-400 USD a month may be be low in the US, but can get you a lot of things in other countries.
Prices of items are not consistant by country, a motherboard in america may cost 100usd but in another country could cost 1/10th of the price.
Essentially these workers earning would be equivalent to someone working full time at McDonalds in the US. Matter of fact the Taiwanese may even be making more money.

@@SirSithly Bro what
@SithLee that's not what he is saying. He's saying that while we "build" our motherboards(which is in reality just connecting 10 things together and plugging in wires), these people are the actual builders of our computers in that they are quite literally create motherboards. They are the ones who actually build our computers. He's not saying anything about the salary they earn.
@@SirSithly He said they make them from nothing not for nothing.
Wow this is so educative , i always think robot does all the jobs in the factory.
it surprises me to realize how these boards comes without faulty, respect for these hard workers
Edit: OMG thank u for so many likes
When you are using the right equipment for the job, no faults will occur.
@@silverstonebbq but it reduces the chance of something getting screwed enormously.
@Idi Amin do you live in Taiwan?
well mine just came to me faulty :(
If you only knew how many motherboard has return to the production because of faulty assemble,wrong orientation of electronic components and ICs and busted electronics such as ICs, capacitor,diodes,resistor and transistors..the finished board should pass the testing area and many of them will fail.
Huge respect for small country like tiwan.... High technology skilled labours.... Running such a big mother board company.... And we people are just watching it
...on my Gigabyte mobo powered PC.
My very first Gigabyte mainboard was Giga 915 with Pentium 4 processor and 1gb ddram bus 400. Over 12 years ago and that first PC was quite a real treasure for a little boy at that time :)

I've got a Gigabyte motherboard and works really well. Congrats to these people for the awesome work.
I worked in a computer store for 3 years lol always wonderd how motherboards are made.. very interesting.. great video .
I am a Gigabyte user since 5 years and really it's an excellent made.
Gigabyte motherboards are my favorite, I’m not surprised some of the work is done manually... Great quality ✅
wow must be horrible when you wanna pee and the motherboards don't stop coming!!
Supervisors can take the place of any of the people on the line and they also stop various lines at different times for breaks. Most printer circuit board manufacturing plants have 2 or more lines making the exact same board.
maybe there are service robots

I'm always perplexed by the complexities of these factories and how one would even start going about making it all come together.

Not surprised. I've lived and worked in Taiwan. It can get pretty hot and humid there and not all buildings have air conditioning. Regardless, Taiwan is a great place to live.
Sending my Respects to the workers that give life to PC enthusiasts.
Ignorant fools who spread "PC Masturbation Race"
My mum used to work there doing QC check on the motherboard. You really need to be fast and good eye sight!
I can’t imagine working there. The moving line would really stress me out xD
As one who has always preferred Gigabyte Boards and an I.T. Engineer...
MY RESPECT GOES OUT TO YOUR MOTHER.
Please tell her (Genuinely) I GENUINELY APPRECIATE HER PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTION TO THE MANUFACTURE OF THESE BOARDS
Tell her MARTIN SAYS THANKS
I know if i got a chance to work in a place like that i'd like it if someone appreciated my work.
Very good mother making motherboards.
So you have a motherboard
Women are usually selected for this kind of work, because they have a physical predisposition to details in their eyesight, while men have a bigger peripheric field, which isn't useful in these tasks.
As a student I had an internship in a small factory, doing most of these duties myself - from feeding "Pick and place" machines to populating boards with THT components by hand. Traditionally women are doing the latter job and now I can see why - they inherently can multitask far better, placing components properly AND chatting with each other! They were even able to spot my mistakes down the assembly line and corrected my mistakes, like placing polarized capacitors wrong way around. I just hope these workers are not exposed to dangerous chemicals like I was. These days I'd pay more for a product made in a safe environment, after my short internship.
Hope your health is fine! Thanks for sharing.
Not sure about the multitasking part
This is such a boomer take on multitasking
be careful, nowadays to say that women or man better is a discrimination :)
I see nothing wrong with this, in fact its praising women.
Thank you ladies at Gigabyte! Love you wonderful women!
and here we are taking it for granted..respect to those people :)
Just bought a gigbyte board. Love the board. Didn't come with a manual but the build went great anyway.
Pretty cool quick overview. A longer in-depth visit would be super cool. Would've liked to see how they make the PCB itself; saw the one lady doing continuity testing on a bed of nails there at the beginning with a mostly blank board after the fab was done for it.
the PCB is manufactured and imported from China. The components are just assembled and packaged in Taiwan.
@@Roger67164 taiwan is part of china lol...!!
You got to love company’s like this making computer parts. Awesome.
No apostrophe needed in "companies". Apostrophes signify a possessive.
so much hard work done by people which we never see... never take anything for granted...
I have used Gigabyte motherboards in all of my builds for 7 years now and, touch wood, I have never had a failure!
So these ladies where responsible for years of fun i had? Thank you so much :)
I always wondered how stuff like this was made, great video.
I am so grateful to those ladies and men that work hard to deliver us such a good and crucial piece of hardware
Nice to see our mums doing very important job to make us even more happy 😁
0:39 I worked for a big company in the past that also build all kind of OEM electronics including motherboards, and I remember that one employee was able to feed the machine with the components in the wrong position (he probably mixed some resistors and capacitors that has different values), and it result in couple hundreds of units with wrong components that was later captured by the ICT (In-ciurcuit test) ... that was a big mess!
There were so many mothers making motherboards!
Raymond Lee inception
But they just call them boards
@@Bonswally no they are listed on sale as motherboards, you are wrong
@@eksine wtf, joke lol
I love the machine around @2:32 that puts the blue packing wrap around the box.
Don't you just want to jump through it?
marry her
Yeah it looks cool XD
I thought you were talking about the guy by making a dank😂😂
Yeah i had to rewind to see that
A brand represented by its people, something to be proud!!
Seeing the manual labor and all the technology that goes into producing the boards is humbling.
I have a Gigabyte Gaming motherboard and it’s very well made. Nice to see the production line and the workers doing a good job. 🐤
Fatherboard available ?
no, but you're welcome to invent one. :)
No, but we do have daughter boards ;)
this si sexist! we need fatherboards, and father nature!
Hhhhhhhahha
Nice question. Fathers are usually dejected.
the way electronics work will never cease to amaze me.
I'm looking at Gigabyte motherboard right now next to my pc..;) such an amazing work..
This is really interesting
The speed that they work at is astonishing honestly. It takes a lot of skillful work to run a production like this

Most of Semiconductor factory workers in Taiwan are Filipinos, where they earn better that our local factories in Laguna or other Technoparks around the country. They would rather work in Taiwan. Hope that they have good working conditions and are treated well (of course I hear stories of how they experience working from abroad).
Even commuting back home on holidays is a whole lot cheaper and less time consuming.
Because of Dilawan foreign inverstors go away in the Philippines.
Brings back memories. I have been here and many other similar factories in China. Always amazing to see.
Amazing landscape and footage!
these workers deserve much more respect and appreciation than they get.... they are SO IMPORTANT!
these are essential workers~
Yes, but they are only important for keeping the cost low, because the cost of a fully automated production line would be much higher than underpaying 50 workers.
they are imported in other 3rd world country. In taiwan they typically get their manual labors in south neighboring them
thank you TAIWAN! a greatest from ALGERIE!
Very inspirational. We all suffer somehow for others to live. Bless up ladies!
haha, i was more amazed the way they close that box @ 2:35 than the entire motherboard process :v
Shoutout to whoever made my now 7 year old 990fxa. Still going strong.
shoutout to you for still rocking that AM3, much love
Dolby Home Theater 4.0 is the best with that best 108db SNR with that legendary Realtek HD 889 Chi 💓
So that’s my motherboard doesn’t have a sound card , it must’ve slipped by the worker but it’s ok I forgive them
hahah :)
Lmfao
@M W It’s a joke
Amazing engineering. Thanks for uploading this informative factory tour.
Damn, you can't even take a minute break, becasue the line keeps going. Much respect for these workers!
You can call for help and ask to go out, there is always specially available people for replacement. If not, well, you have to ask till one of them will be free. Usually they are foremen, supervising workers or somebody near at job, not connected to production line directly. Like, somebody delivering components.
I use to assemble TI- 81 calculators at Texas Instruments. What a boring summer job freshman year of college!
@Steven Lee That always mind boggled me,how the fuck in such a big country,ya'll can't find work?
@Steven Lee Idk how the hell you couldn't find a job, there are plenty of jobs hiring. I applied everywhere in my first year of college and got called by like 5-10 jobs telling me they wanted to interview me. Where the hell do you live? Alaska?
Really nice, short and informative video!
Gigabyte is the only Motherboard I've purchased for the last ten years. I have never had one fail.
Just when you think your monday is shit, imagine going to work and having to do the same thing for 8+ hours 5 or 6 days a week.
That's..... what a job is.
If it was easy, we would do it for free and call it a hobby. Instead, we trade labor for money and call it work.
I already do that, but it's hard physical work. Fucking hate it and hopefully can leave that place in a couple of years. I could move to the city and get a better job immediately, but i hate lack of privacy in there. I can play loud music, run around my garden in underwear and have nature everywhere around me at countryside, so this is why i have been sticking with the bullshit job.
@@patchouli9 sounds like your company needs to do a reevaluation of it's employee's and their productiveness then.
@@patchouli9 I suppose :)
My old gigabyte board(G41) series had an issue with the northbridge failing several times even after reflow.
Went to the dealer who offered me an old G31(I wanted to keep the current processor and ram) which is running flawlessly since 5 years.
Newer generation boards now come with solid state capacitors which increase the reliability serveral times, plus the dual bios really works when needed.
The G41 boards with the ICH10 ran incredibly hot yet didn't have any sort of active cooling. Add on top of that the lead free issues still being worked out because of RoHS and the thinking at the time that either A: Everything would work just like it did before or B: Everything would work just long enough to get it past the warranty period. It was a massive cluster and I was proactively adding cooling solutions to customers systems to prevent the onset of these issues. Fans, much better, or in a lot of cases SOME thermal paste, to these heatsinks, greater tension on the springs. Yea, it's like they just didn't give 2S from 2005-2010.
This is amazing. I was brought here as I was trying to find out if these boards are supposed to come with factory seals on the boxes. I can confirm that they do NOT have seals on them. It's a shame the manufactures don't give this information to help customers feel reassured their piece of hardware has not been tampered with. I do kind of understand why they don't have seals though. Perhaps they need to updated after they are made.
I think you just need to relax about it. Who cares if it's sealed or not. What you should worry about is the Amazon or UPS driver that is whipping your package around in the sort center. Nobody cares about the value of your items coming through - it's just another box to them.
Great!!
Now i would like to see how fatherboard is created
Pretty cool. Massive respect for these workers
I used to dream about being in a factory of Dual CPU motherboards when I was a young man in the 1990's. This is basically where a computer enthusiasts wishes all come true!
Helo
Except not, it's just boring manual labor. After a week you would be bored out of your mind there. Engineering dept is probably more fun, but it's at Intel or AMD.
Would like to see an updated version of this video

Respect to the engineers who designed and built the production and quality control machinery.
That's why I found an additional screw in the bag with my motherboard (this screw is enough to damage the board in shipping)
Imagine the boss sneaking in the storage room to get a motherboard for his son's gaming pc.
I mean, he's the boss, he probably has a special upgraded edition of the motherboard, forget the old consumer version
@@aboogiewithdahoodie Nobody prevents you from upgrading parts on your board, if you know what you are doing. Overclockers used to do that in early 00s to achieve highest overclocks.
No need to sneak if you are the BOSS.

Many many years ago I was the first importer of Gigabyte boards into Czechoslovakia. I found their VL-bus motherboards and graphics cards on CeBit and that is how it started. Until then mbs had only the ISA bus. Even today I always choose their productcs. I wonder if Gloria Guh is still with them. Gloria, cheers and Kind Regards to you.

I have worked in a similar set up back in 90's and I really feel sorry for the line workers who need to work fast and accurate all the time. Sadly, it is very difficult to keep up with the pace and you're lucky if you last. True, even if you wanna pee or rest a bit it would be difficult for you to do so. It is a horrible job.
Any production-belt line job is. I worked at sausage -packing facility. My job consisted to cut sausage into pieces of correct size and put it into packing machine. Process couldn't be automated due to sausages are not totally the same due to during preparation they change their size unequally. No idea why, guess some non-homogeneous consistency of ground meat. Imagine whole working day on timer, doing manually job into 0 degree temperature into industrial freezer condition. It's not just about repeating same small manipulation with palms with huge hast, it's about cold as well. My palms after working day were just dead. I had hard time to take out keys of my apart from my jeans pocket after working day.
Love that Gigabyte motherboard been using10 years +...
Love from India 🇮🇳
Now THAT'S a mind blowing tedious job!
Fantástico! eu sempre quis visitar uma fábrica de placas.
Thanks. Wish I could have seen the tiny parts actually placed on the board, though.
pick n place robots
on aliexpress you can buy
as well as owens for soldering
one machine placing the soldering paste next places the parts then its going to the owen
larger parts that were complicated to place with robots, those placed by workers
The plexi is usually dark to limit the external light, as high resolution cameras are used to align each and every part to ensure it is placed correctly. Parts can be as small as 0.01" x 0.005" (and even smaller is coming). For this size board, the smallest part is likely 0.04" x 0.02".
I'm not as familiar with the Fuji systems shown here, but all covers are typically safety interlocked as the gantries that pick and place the parts are dangerous.
