Video Description

This video shows how a computer power supply is made from start-to-finish, including manufacturing and assembly, testing, and validation of thermals. Sponsor: be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum (https://geni.us/l2yOrw8 | be quiet! website) Watch our factory tour playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLR8xnK-LIU&list=PLsuVSmND84QuVMZuk2HGUtCSYXR7nmC5a Support our factory tours directly! These are expensive endeavors and are only made possible by our supporters and viewers. Go to https://www.patreon.com/gamersnexus to get behind-the-scenes looks and exclusive Ask GN episodes for supporters. Another great way to support us and get something in exchange is to do so via the GN Store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ In this factory tour, we'll be walking through the manual assembly and validation process of power supplies in Tainan, Taiwan, at the southern tip of the island. Power supplies go through PCB manufacturing, SMT lines, automatic optical inspection, validation, assembly, and then through testing. 100% of all power supplies made in this factory are thermally burned-in and tested on Chroma machine power supply testers. We also cover some of the packing, warranty, and box building in this tour. We've made a separate video of this factory showing the R&D process, coming up in a future video. PSU manufacturing uses SMT lines, manual assembly lines, Chroma testers, burn-in testing, and more. Like our content?
