We're really excited about this tour and the editing on it. It's our best factory tour edit yet -- so please be sure to share with friends! It was a full team effort for 4-5 days JUST to finalize this one. We learned a ton about how PC parts are made when we did this one and hope you do too.

Well kinda. I think with the PSUs they have been stuck with the Error… Because if they would have tried it they would have seen… oh shit thats not working. We cant ship them. So its likely they didnt test them (the Batches that are Faulty). Which is… as bad.
hahaha, pretty much! Our guide offered that we tour an "electric chisel" plant, and we said "sure! ...... what is that?" and the guide said "no idea!" The hosts were awesome.
@@GamersNexus One of the coolest things about this channel is your ability to learn with us, your viewers. Really appreciate that. This is awesome. Also, Noctua is amazing.
They only spent over a year shipping serious fire hazards to customers and then refused to do anything about it when calles out over it. They don't deserve to live this down.
These kind of video's are what sets Gamers Nexus apart from all the other tech-tuber channels. No one else is actively learning another language ( especially one as difficult as Chinese ), just so they can convey information to their viewers faster, and more accurately than anyone else. Can't wait for more factory tours!
Totally agree with everything you just said. And I might I add, Steve is all too happy to give companies the boot if they make products that catch on fire.
@@stellarproductions8888 Yeah, I'm LOVING all the swipes Steve makes at Gigabyte for their exploding PSU, and their TERRIBLE response to it. GN is the most thorough when it comes to reviewing hardware. No one beats them. The closest is Digital Foundry, but DF focuses mostly on software. The fact that GN is referenced so much when the news about the revised PS5 came out, was a nice breath of fresh air, that DF has helped teach people that a single data-point ( EX: Temps of exhaust heat ) isn't enough to draw a conclusion. So their work IS making an impact. Now I just need to start my new job ( with a nice pay increase ) so I can order their newest mod-mat!
There are DOZENS of smaller TH-cam channels that offer the same level of education about PC parts etc..you just have to venture outside your YT feed ;)
@@JohnnieFruits And I've seen very little of that bare fruit. Isn't he a camera guy to begin with? Regardless, LTT is a bit too cringe for my tastes, while GN is a whole lot more succinct with their work
The deadpan "They could probably use Gigabyte Power Supplies" Killed me. Working in machining, Both CNC and Manual, it's really cool to see what happens to parts I make after I make them. Thanks for the content!
@@GamersNexus For sure! Most of the time, we don't even know what kind of assembly our work ends up in, let alone what the process is after it leaves our shop. We put a label on it that says something along the lines of 'Type III Anodize' (that's hard anodizing for aluminum), and we just ship it. Get it back, make sure they look pretty, and we never see them again. Hopefully. If parts come back, there's a problem.
I have a buddy who owns a cnc shop he has 13 different machines. Its awesome having a friend who can cut me anything i want for say ..oh i dunno like custom rotor housing for a rotary engine or lower recievers for an ar15 ...and so much more lol.
You can always count on GN to bring you really great high quality and informative videos. Freaking love you guys. Also this particular video is really really well done it is freaking fantastic.
02:14 GN: Why is black so popular? Factory: ...marketing. 04:50 GN: So what's the voltage and current? Factory: ...you die. 06:45 GN: What kind of math was required to figure out the timing? Factory: ...experience (trial and error). That's one way to obfuscate an answer. Love their humor.
Snappy comedic lines, great pacing, effective lighting balance in what had to be extremely challenging to film light/dark transitions with reflections, informative and very watchable? Ya even have to say it's entertaining. Well done GN, well done.
@@GamersNexus because I was expecting to change the brightness on my cell, and didn't, that made it stand out in my mind. Good attention to detail by the editing choices. Well worth my time to watch.
3:06 as a native chinese speaker, this is extremely impressive! super happy to see Steve make the effort to pronounce correctly and congrats on the progress!
I am still learning. Is the second character 升 really spoken like an 'a' (at least how it would be in most languages using Latin script, not really in English). I'm asking because in og Latin which invented this alphabet it's transcribed as 'shēng'? The rest sounds almost exactly how I would imagine it being said by a near-native.
@@Fyre0 I know Pinyin that's why I asked about Steve's pronunciation. He doesn't really pronounce it like an English 'uh' in my opinion, but more like basic characters such as this 上 would be pronounced (not necessarily with that intonation).
Guys i've watched all your content for a long time but I've gotta say, this piece was outstanding. I LOVE the factory content and you make it so engaging. Thank you
I love these series... It is extremely eye opening to actually see the life cycle of products we purchase and the environmental impact our consumer patterns has. Thinking twice or multiple times before purchasing stuff on a whim and instead asking ourselves "do I really need it? am I unhappy with what I already have?" is a very good practice indeed. I for one will not purchase a new chassi as long as it holds up and ATX standards don't go obsolete. Same goes with coolers. I bought a Noctua, I have been in contact with the company over the years ordering new mounting mechanisms for new socket standards, never been more satisfied with a product. Why buy completely new when these products could last for 15, 20 even 30 years. Anyway, awesome job guys! :)
Agree with you here. I tend to keep using stuff until it breaks, I find myself unable to bin stuff that still has an ostensible use. So much of the cheap throwaway crap that’s made in general produces a vast amount of waste, both directly and indirectly.
Man who knew something so basic like a single fin for heat sink requires so much work just to have it colored. I love these factory tours, I hope you guys can produce more of these when the pandemic is more under control. Thanks GN and keep up the good work!!!
The production quality of GNs videos went to the moon, between the editing, new animations, and pacing of the videos its just *perfect*. And thats at the current office, cant wait to see updates on the new office and future findings from the Gamers Nexus Lab
I'm still impressed by how good Steve is at precisely pronouncing every single Chinese character for not only the sound but also the tone. Usually you would expect someone who's first language is English reading out each character in a very "foreign" way (ignoring the tone usually). Also a big well done for the content!
I don't know what to say, other than this video is amazing, the production quality is off the charts and I think it's awesome. Truly top tier content from the gn team.
Congrats Gigabyte, you've made it into passing jokes during a Factory Tour. You've made it to the final level. I'm digging the Oceans 11 style background music. At least that's what it makes me think of.
Having worked in electroplating, I can smell this video. Plating math can get you the ball park coating time and thickness, but getting an even finish for every part that's trial and error. That's why the setup, design, parameters are closely guarded.
The best part of this channel is you are willing to admit straight up that you don't know what something is or means. Then you go ahead and learn about it to a level that your can explain it us laymen.
@@GamersNexus It embodies an attitude I admire. "I don't know, let me look into it and report back to you." Except when it's the WH press secretary, insincerely trying to dodge a question.
This was fantastic, thank you! I’d love to see more of them when it’s reasonably safe! Requests for future factory tour videos: - Silicon fab, even if at large process nodes - outsourced assembly and test of chips - capacitors and other small board components - copper extraction and refining
Thank you Steve and the team I look forward to every video. These tours I was so happy last year to see then the troubles came and now we are all still stuck atleast not able to travel freely. Keep up your great work as always 👍 👏
As a Chemist undergraduate, and studying Environmental Engineering, I really appreciate these videos. I never thought I would have encountered them in a gaming/hardware channel.
Steve pulling the name, with a quite surprisingly good pronunciation, out of the blue: "It's okay big man, we get it, you're good, stop flexing." Legit have to tip my hat to you for your work ethic extending to learning new languages (and/or pronunciations) out of respect.
haha, thanks! It's a lot of fun to learn a new language and a huge challenge. I wish I could dedicate more time to it. Our hosts are always so nice and I'd like to be able to communicate better with them to show my appreciation.
"Unlike all the others the difference with Electrophoretic Deposition is I don't know what that means..." a breath of fresh air, Steve. Me neither, until this presentation. Thanks for a great video, GN.
Noctua products are of the highest quality and that means this factory produces exactly THAT highest standard of quality. These men and women should all be proud of their hard work!
Nice to see machines like the ones I draw getting a hint of attention (RO units and other water filtration). Nice explanation about the entire process, will probably go through that playlist sooner rather than later :)
This factory tour was everything I didn't know I needed to make me rewatch the playlist. Love the extra energy with the music and perfectly cued bits. Looking forward to more in the future to learn about things I didn't know I wanted to know about!
As someone who works with carpentry from time to time, installing cabinets and thier beautiful hardware. Its now clear to me how they get so many shades of so many colors IN the metal.
Loved the factory epsiode. Even caught my daughters attention aftwards we went through my old pictures from a powder coat paint factory making shelving and card holders. You sparked a family moment.
Hello Steve, I think this is my favorite factory video that you've done, and I am glad the factory owner gave the OK to film most everything. Its a fascinating process, thanks for the education. Back to you Steve. :)
Just wanted to say the style and editing to mirror something like a TV doc is very much appreciated. I know others appreciate the other factory tours (and at times I have found them very interesting as well) but for me they have gotten a bit dry at times. But this TV doc style was refreshing and much more engrossing than I expected all the way through. I hope to see future factory tours like this!
The company I work for has one of the best low waste records around. We paint many tons of die cast metal every month and we only use a large pill shaped paint ball to paint dozens of pieces at a time in a chamber that collects anything unused in the air once the cycle is done.
Wow. That was fascinating. Disclaimer: I saw the video appear a few days ago but didn't want to watch it until I saw your news recap, and saw the passion and interest behind the making of this video. That you are so into the technology and especially waste management is a credit. Thank you and your team for taking the time and effort to highlight the stuff that, traditionally, is ignored by technology websites - the waste.
I finished installing a new CPU cooler (NH-D15S) to replace my stock one fifteen minutes before this video was posted. Very fitting timing. While my particular unit didn't pass through this factory, since it's the bare model rather than the black one, it's fascinating to see these tours.
Easily the best source of relevant tech data, news, and entertainment on the internet. May you receive the best sponsorships and sell the most merch so this can continue for years to come.
This was a really interesting and well edited video. What stands out to me is that the cheapest option for adding colour to parts is also one of the more environmentally friendly choices. As for a name for the series, what about "How Thingamabob Done"? It's dumb, sounds funny (to me at least) and isn't currently trademarked afaik. :D
> the cheapest option for adding colour to parts is also one of the more environmentally friendly choices. I'm surprised no company has just started advertising "natural" finish, just straight up cut the piece, air blast it and sell it.
@@JustTechGuyThings They will rust in minutes while shipping. Even if they air freight it, any customer who lives by the coast can not use such a product.
This series of videos from you guys is absolutely my favorite. I know you have to be critical of products, this series really just has an excitement behind it that the other videos doesn't.
Your Chinese pronunciation is very impressive! Your non-bias reviews help us a lot to save our hard earn money over the shady manufactures. Thanks and carry on, and as consumers, we will stand behind you!
I love this channel, but I love the factory tours the most. It's incredibly important on a technical level to understand how our stuff is made, but also on a globalized cultural-economic level. The "made in China" meme is so tired at this point. Does everybody realize that China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea are the heart of this planet's technological manufacturing and development from the lowest value-oriented product to the highest end? And big personal props to Steve for learning Mandarin, which is obviously the most important language of computer hardware. 很棒!
I love to see the raw manufacturing side of the tech industry and the processes involved. GN is doing amazing work getting us these factory tours we wouldn't normally get to see. All the other tech channels only seem to be interested in regurgotating glossy market speil and showing sponsored finished products.
I'm sure that a non-music version of the video as a Patreon exclusive would be a nice addition. I don't think adding the music is bad, but it just doesn't necessarily fill the GN style that I'm sure many of us would expect. I say this despite me not being a Patreon because I don't do subscriptions, and I don't think the music really detracts from the vid. But I do think having that option for the classic GN style would be appreciated.
This one definitely felt more like something you might watch on TV then one of your normal videos. The transitions had the music highlights which only a couple times seemed odd, most very good. It did almost seem like y'all really wanted to use some of the footage from around town though, and it seemed unusual for you guys. I'm much more used to seeing that in an introduction or conclusion part of a video. Regardless of that, I still really enjoyed the content and appreciate you guys doing these, I have learned so much from them about all of these various parts that I used to take for granted. When I built my first computer almost 2 decades ago, I was just super excited to put everything together and have the dang thing turn on. Gotta have a lot of appreciation for the level of modern technology, world trade, and ingenuity involved in the end product.
Amazing work as always Steve! I think I got a Noctua cooler from this plant, and it’s cool to finally see how Noctua figured out a workaround for painting the heatpipes and finstack. What kind of factory have you not done a tour yet?
Wow that's seriously cool. I think if you started a new Gamers Nexus channel that exclusively does factory tours, it would be a massive success. Great vid guys.
The trickle down effect is interesting with these coatings. First they showed up on PC parts and later they hit the appliance aisle at your local store and especially at the home shopping cable channels, which LOVE having every product in 90 dozen colors. So there's a coffee maker and vacuum cleaner is every possible color. Thanks China!
This style of video is WILDY different from the old ones. Definitely expected the same style but got this super awesome styled video instead! Good job GN
Steve's Chinese is so good it sounds like it's ADR. Great b-roll shots guys, thanks for the hard work, there is no better way to learn about the hardware industry than through the lens of GN.
Music is absolutely great and I find this factory tour even better than the ones published previously. As always we have the sprinkled comedy which is very much appreciated.
I haven't even watched the video, but the introduction filled me with such hype! The rest of the video completely delivered on that hype! Great work GN Team!
This is a FANTASTIC example of why automation is the backbone of our world. Think about the price of a complete computer without it, millions if not billions of €/£/$ for a single computer if everything would be done by hand.
Wow, this is probably one of your best produced documentary videos ever, and a cool change of pace from the normal review stuff. I just love seeing how the sausage is made when it comes to components I might be buying. #ThanksSteve

Well kinda. I think with the PSUs they have been stuck with the Error… Because if they would have tried it they would have seen… oh shit thats not working. We cant ship them. So its likely they didnt test them (the Batches that are Faulty). Which is… as bad.
How I imagine this tour being offered
Factory rep: "Would you like a tour of our Electrodeposition plant?"
Steve: "Yes please. What does that mean?"

Nice to see machines like the ones I draw getting a hint of attention (RO units and other water filtration).
Nice explanation about the entire process, will probably go through that playlist sooner rather than later :)
This factory tour was everything I didn't know I needed to make me rewatch the playlist. Love the extra energy with the music and perfectly cued bits. Looking forward to more in the future to learn about things I didn't know I wanted to know about!
As someone who works with carpentry from time to time, installing cabinets and thier beautiful hardware. Its now clear to me how they get so many shades of so many colors IN the metal.
Loved the factory epsiode. Even caught my daughters attention aftwards we went through my old pictures from a powder coat paint factory making shelving and card holders. You sparked a family moment.
Next go to a thermal paste factory, or even better, a Swiss Army Knife factory.
I know these aren't as popular as your other videos, but I appreciate the videos guys! 👍
Hello Steve, I think this is my favorite factory video that you've done, and I am glad the factory owner gave the OK to film most everything. Its a fascinating process, thanks for the education. Back to you Steve. :)
Just wanted to say the style and editing to mirror something like a TV doc is very much appreciated. I know others appreciate the other factory tours (and at times I have found them very interesting as well) but for me they have gotten a bit dry at times. But this TV doc style was refreshing and much more engrossing than I expected all the way through. I hope to see future factory tours like this!
I can't help but leave a like every time Steve makes fun of Gigabyte.
This feels like the most "TH-cam" video GN has ever published.
Too bad the annoying background music makes this video nearly unwatchable for many people.
The “electric chisel” portion of the factory tour has to be uploaded to a diff video property.
This video deserves a standing ovation.
The company I work for has one of the best low waste records around. We paint many tons of die cast metal every month and we only use a large pill shaped paint ball to paint dozens of pieces at a time in a chamber that collects anything unused in the air once the cycle is done.
We almost never see inside these types of facilities, very cool
Steve is the only person I know that sounds so excited while saying dangerous :D
The tour was awesome! Thanks Team!
Best tour so far!
Wow. That was fascinating. Disclaimer: I saw the video appear a few days ago but didn't want to watch it until I saw your news recap, and saw the passion and interest behind the making of this video. That you are so into the technology and especially waste management is a credit. Thank you and your team for taking the time and effort to highlight the stuff that, traditionally, is ignored by technology websites - the waste.
I finished installing a new CPU cooler (NH-D15S) to replace my stock one fifteen minutes before this video was posted. Very fitting timing. While my particular unit didn't pass through this factory, since it's the bare model rather than the black one, it's fascinating to see these tours.
This was ridiculously well edited.
REALLY diggin' this format!
Thanks, Bruxxus!

As soon as you started talking about electricity I was waiting for the gigabyte gag haha! 👍😂
This was a really interesting and well edited video.
What stands out to me is that the cheapest option for adding colour to parts is also one of the more environmentally friendly choices.
As for a name for the series, what about "How Thingamabob Done"? It's dumb, sounds funny (to me at least) and isn't currently trademarked afaik. :D
> the cheapest option for adding colour to parts is also one of the more environmentally friendly choices.
I'm surprised no company has just started advertising "natural" finish, just straight up cut the piece, air blast it and sell it.
@@JustTechGuyThings You usually want at least some kind of coating to prevent scratches and oxidizing and to reduce friction.
@@JustTechGuyThings They will rust in minutes while shipping. Even if they air freight it, any customer who lives by the coast can not use such a product.
This series of videos from you guys is absolutely my favorite. I know you have to be critical of products, this series really just has an excitement behind it that the other videos doesn't.
Your Chinese pronunciation is very impressive! Your non-bias reviews help us a lot to save our hard earn money over the shady manufactures. Thanks and carry on, and as consumers, we will stand behind you!
Its a shame videos like this aren't more popular, they are facinating
Share with your friends!
This one's, to use the parlance of our times, a banger.
Throwing in clips of LinJiang Night Market and Xinyi Shopping District was a nice touch! Keep up the good work!
It feels like I’m watching “How it’s Made” and I’m Loving it! Keep up the passionate and hard work everyone.
I love this channel, but I love the factory tours the most. It's incredibly important on a technical level to understand how our stuff is made, but also on a globalized cultural-economic level. The "made in China" meme is so tired at this point. Does everybody realize that China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea are the heart of this planet's technological manufacturing and development from the lowest value-oriented product to the highest end? And big personal props to Steve for learning Mandarin, which is obviously the most important language of computer hardware. 很棒!

Nailed that Factory name like a champ
I love to see the raw manufacturing side of the tech industry and the processes involved. GN is doing amazing work getting us these factory tours we wouldn't normally get to see. All the other tech channels only seem to be interested in regurgotating glossy market speil and showing sponsored finished products.

I'm sure that a non-music version of the video as a Patreon exclusive would be a nice addition. I don't think adding the music is bad, but it just doesn't necessarily fill the GN style that I'm sure many of us would expect.
I say this despite me not being a Patreon because I don't do subscriptions, and I don't think the music really detracts from the vid. But I do think having that option for the classic GN style would be appreciated.
At first I didn't like the use of music, but I got used to it.
WOW what a great edit, that felt more like a feature documentation. really impressive
This one definitely felt more like something you might watch on TV then one of your normal videos. The transitions had the music highlights which only a couple times seemed odd, most very good. It did almost seem like y'all really wanted to use some of the footage from around town though, and it seemed unusual for you guys. I'm much more used to seeing that in an introduction or conclusion part of a video.
Regardless of that, I still really enjoyed the content and appreciate you guys doing these, I have learned so much from them about all of these various parts that I used to take for granted. When I built my first computer almost 2 decades ago, I was just super excited to put everything together and have the dang thing turn on. Gotta have a lot of appreciation for the level of modern technology, world trade, and ingenuity involved in the end product.
Amazing work as always Steve! I think I got a Noctua cooler from this plant, and it’s cool to finally see how Noctua figured out a workaround for painting the heatpipes and finstack.
What kind of factory have you not done a tour yet?
We really want to do metal refineries!
@@GamersNexus I think it would be interesting to see where they’re getting the aluminum for Lian Li’s cases.
@@matasa7463 Agreed! Hoping we can trace it that far back one day.
There's definitely something romantic about manufacturing. No wonder people get upset about their cities getting turned into service economies.
Always surprised by Steve's mandarin pronunciation, music & editing in this video is also fantastic, keep up the great work as always.
Feels really good watching this video on an o11d xl, nh-u14s,, and 6 brown fans.
a case and point on how to make this kind of video? ;D Quite more up beat then the others, interesting difference
Am getting old? I’ve never been so excited to watch a documentary about computer factory tours. Niiiice!!!!!
Everytime Steve pronounce mandarin perfectly, I giggle a little bit. The tones are perfect!!!!
Wow that's seriously cool. I think if you started a new Gamers Nexus channel that exclusively does factory tours, it would be a massive success. Great vid guys.
The trickle down effect is interesting with these coatings. First they showed up on PC parts and later they hit the appliance aisle at your local store and especially at the home shopping cable channels, which LOVE having every product in 90 dozen colors. So there's a coffee maker and vacuum cleaner is every possible color. Thanks China!
Same just chilling at work
I love it whenever Steve shows off his Chinese pronunciation.
This style of video is WILDY different from the old ones. Definitely expected the same style but got this super awesome styled video instead! Good job GN
Steve's Chinese is so good it sounds like it's ADR. Great b-roll shots guys, thanks for the hard work, there is no better way to learn about the hardware industry than through the lens of GN.
Music is absolutely great and I find this factory tour even better than the ones published previously. As always we have the sprinkled comedy which is very much appreciated.
I haven't even watched the video, but the introduction filled me with such hype! The rest of the video completely delivered on that hype! Great work GN Team!
thanks Steve !
This is a FANTASTIC example of why automation is the backbone of our world. Think about the price of a complete computer without it, millions if not billions of €/£/$ for a single computer if everything would be done by hand.
Wow, this is probably one of your best produced documentary videos ever, and a cool change of pace from the normal review stuff. I just love seeing how the sausage is made when it comes to components I might be buying. #ThanksSteve
When Tech Jesus says he doesn't know what something is......I get genuinely interested in what he's talking about more than normal.
Stuttering 'A Factory In Great Detail' and that baling-swoosh effect really got me crackin up
