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.

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.

My old gigabyte board(G41) series had an issue with the northbridge failing several times even after reflow.

Newer generation boards now come with solid state capacitors which increase the reliability serveral times, plus the dual bios really works when needed.

[@SeanBlodgett]

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.

[@du4lstrik3]

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.

[@NoEgg4u]

Good video. However, there is a lot more to this process, that is not covered in this video. The motherboard has tracings that allow data between components. These tracings are numerous, and are everywhere. How did they get there? This video briefly mentions how various components are placed on the motherboard. But those components do not grow on trees. Even the shipping process would be great to see in more detail. For example, this video simply shows a machine delivering a cardboard box to a worker. How was that cardboard made? The boards are put into anti-static bags. How are those bags made? There is so much more. I understand that this video is on 2:48 long, and can cover only so much in that time. And the most was made of those 168 seconds. But it would be great to see it all, including how a single issue on the assembly line is handled when there is an issue. For example, if a worker falls behind, or needs a bathroom break, or runs out of a component, etc. If the assembly line needs to stop, how is that handled, and by whom? What if the motor or other critical part of the assembly belt and rollers, etc, were to fail? They probably would have someone there within 5 minutes to fix it, and probably have a warehouse 1 minute from there where they have every part under-the-sun available to address any part failures on any equipment. What about fire drills? Does Taiwan have them? How do they empty the building, without notice, and not end up with a complete mess inside the factory? Does the factory run 24/7/365? If yes, how are shift changes handled? How are lunch breaks handled? If no, how does the assembly process begin, especially if someone is late or calls in sick, etc? How do they end the day? I would like to see if they leave the assembly line where it is, or do they let the last motherboard move to the end of the process? I guarantee that they have all of this covered, down to the last detail. And the few people at the top, that coordinate all of this, and ensure that there is never an interruption to the production line, are earning big $$.

Great video! This electronics manufacturing engineer has 3 critiques: 1) The Automated Optical Inspection system is primarily to inspect solder connection quality (and to make sure a part is present too). Part number verification (via OCR) isn't possible with most SMT caps or resistors as they are not marked due to their small size. Orientation (polarity) can also be checked as all parts are marked for that (if polarity matters for that part). 2) The Fuji placement systems give a warning when the reels are running low before they get to the last part, and it is possible to program the setups with redundant parts to prevent stoppages. The operators do need to react to those warnings, but they don't actually track the parts themselves. Running an SMT line is definitely a tough job, because one exhausted part can and does stop the whole line. 3) Poor wave solder (for the through hole parts) didn't make the video. That's the Rodney Dangerfield of board soldering - never gets the respect it deserves! I started on wave as my first assignment after college. It's been "going away" for the last 25 years but still keeps going and going ...

[@ronstar7027]

Thanks. Wish I could have seen the tiny parts actually placed on the board, though.

[@cnccarving]

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

[@jasonfullerton7763]

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.

[@mahbaotan]

I used to buy and sell those SMT machines (those machines that place the micro chips on the PCB) and been to factories such as this. It is really humid in there and evreyone had tight spaces. Everytime I see the workers there I tell myself that I have a better life than them and should be grateful with what I have and also be grateful to these unsung hardworkers who have to endure probably uncomfortable working conditions, doing repetitve work for like average 6 hours or more. It is hard work. Really.

[@johnkimble1825]

Shut up gay

[@shangoat2008]

First of all most likely she's not the only one doing the visual check, second, she's not looking at ALL components on the board, only the ones with most failures, given this is not the first batch of production Finally, a lot of surface mount defects cannot be found by AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), so see the test station she put the board in after the visual inspection? That's called ICT (In-circuit test). So yeah, you don't know what you are talking about and your joke is a bad one.

[@Afrocanuk]

@ 0:57, There's no need for extensive checking by anyone since this is already done by the machine doing the optical checking.

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

That board clearly had nothing on it. That wasn't the "final check" the narration was talking about.

[@davemegpoid2377]

and not only that. they do a great job at it.

[@marius8032]

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.

[@aboogiewithdahoodie]

I mean, he's the boss, he probably has a special upgraded edition of the motherboard, forget the old consumer version

[@MJ-uk6lu]

@@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.

I worked in an electronics manufacturing plant here in oregon one summer, years ago. I was on break from college. It requires a special kind of person to sit at your work station 8 hours a day doing a repetitive job. I was not such a person. To save my self from going mad, a month of this teadium I slipped out mid shift never to return.

[@guanzhehong3209]

I think it's rare to find any living person who belongs to the "special kind" you described... these people need money, they face enormous challenges finding less mind-numbing jobs (because of lack of education, personal problems, etc.). I grew up in China and saw a few of my friends now working in similar sectors... they never wanted it.

[@LucasPereiradaSilva]

In Brazil, such a person must have a two-year course in electronics, have a GOOD understanding of how it works and how to project some circuits, and worked for at least four to five years in the field. That's why ANY people I know who work on this field dreams to take one of the chairs you saw in this video. They will be paid better, and live in a better country because Taiwan IS a better country.

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.
