GIGABYTE Nan-Ping Factory Tour


View Photo Gallery

Almost guaranteed to have no chocolate or Oompa Loompas inside.

We freely admit that the GIGABYTE factory has almost nothing to do with a novel by Roald Dahl, but that won’t stop us from giving you a picture tour of our experiences through the GIGABYTE factory. This actually happened during the GIGABYTE overclocking competition, but we’ve been a bit busy with the aftermath of Atomic Live 2008

The facilities themselves are quite impressive, housed within an eight-story building. Here, assembly of graphics cards and motherboards, as well as complete servers and a full suite of product testing is performed. It also serves as a storage area for stock, and a training center for all GIGABYTE employees. There’s a whole lot going on in here, much more than can be described in any convenient time period by words.

But never fear, gentle Atomicans, as we bring you a photovisual guiding hand through this intriguing factory – in colour! Just click on the gallery up to the right, as we delve into the innermost secrets of the tech industry!

nesquick Nov 4, 2008 6:49 PM	lots of good photos there :)
TheFrunj Nov 4, 2008 6:51 PM	psyched, that is because they change the motherboard they are assembling every half an hour or so. Machines could do this, but they'd need about half an hour to reprogram each time, so it's easier and quicker to do it that way. The people also change roles often. -JR

SceptreCore Nov 5, 2008 8:35 PM	That was cool Justin... expertly done! I especially enjoyed the "No photo's to be taken in this factory" :P
Mr Faunce Nov 12, 2008 1:35 AM	WOW nice arty and pics, a job well done. All ways wanted to know how mother boards are made.
