Excellent video, you chaps are the peak of computer geekery 🇬🇧

I think you need to specify if the arcade music is from the factory or added in post production XD

May I request for a display panel factory tour ? Companies like LG , Samsung , BOE and AU Optronics . I searched your videos , didn't find any.

The magnetic levitation is what caught me on guard when I went skateboarding I found out they use ceramic bone bearings to skate handrails successfully. lol.

More fan stuff and no VR test

Thank you for sharing and for watching! This series is the most fun for me personally to work on. We don't make them all the time, so it's a great opportunity for us to try different editing styles and learn about the parts.

Can we have a moment of silence for the bearings that gave their lives for us to be here today? May the gaming Gods live forever

I was just about to say, it feels like the Discovery series How its made. I loved that show. Much appreciated, GN!

"How It's Made" from the shot pacing and narration all the way down to the not-Daft Punk soundtrack. It's uncanny how well similar it is.

@@GamersNexus Should see how much the narrator for How Its Made costs and get him to do at least one of these for you lol.

Wow! Had to look it up to see if I was being trolled, but that's a real word for debris. Thanks for sharing!

Cause "shavings" is just too boring. Every industry has their own words...metal..wood..plastic..it's always different, even tho it's all the same shit..I mean swarf.

cool trivia, thx !

@@GamersNexus Wow I'm surprised by that, I learnt that word back at school while doing metal work and have had heard the word used hundreds maybe thousands of times over my lifetime. I think you need to get out more, lol.

@@brettspicer6463 Difference being, you needed to learn that for your puny salary running some machine 12 hours a day, soon to be replaced my yet another machine, and he did not have to learn that to make exponentially more money... Interesting isnt it? I think you should get out more.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We love making this type of content.

Thanks again for posting the explanation! Super helpful! All we had from translation was 'metal rod machine,' which is definitely accurate, but we wanted the proper name. Thanks!

The community appreciates you Mr. Bear!

Had the biggest grin on my face when they showed that part of the process. That's such awesome problem solving and it's so cool to see it in action!

I was going to say exactly, very cool.

They slightly heat the outer ring so the wall chase drops in. Thats super interesting.

On my bench I have a brand new PS5 fan that broke because I accidentally spilled a few drops of pop on my new PS5. I now have a good reason to tear it apart. To see how they keep the lubricants in the bearing they showed last. If that’s what’s in it.

It's amazing the scale of an operation to make things so tiny - and we're not even at the transistor level yet in our tours!

RIP little bearing.

Can you oil them or anything if they start to go out?

@@SpaceRanger187 You can but, by the time they start to make any kind of noise, it is probably already too late to save it. The reason is because the noise is usually due to slack that the motors get from running all the time (fatigue) and changing the oil does nothing to stop it or reduce the rate at which it increases. Also, the oil may not be appropriate and actually work to increase the rate at which the slack increases. I do oil my "cheapest" fans from time to time when they are too dirty, but only the "cheapest" ones because there is always a chance of breaking or misplacing something and because the most expensive ones, like Noctua, have never failed on me yet. I also never use those fans in anything where there is a chance they might fail unnoticed, like inside a PC. Anyway, if you are interested my procedure is as follows: 1- carefully raise the sticker on the back of the fan without cutting it. You will need the sticker in good condition to reseal the fan otherwise the oil will come out or dry quickly. Sometimes there is also a rubber cover just beneath the sticker. 2- check if the shaft looks clean (no dirt or goo) and oily. If it is, just reseal the fan as there is no point on proceeding and your better off replacing the fan. 3- if it is dirty or dry, remove the sticker completely and start disassembly. Usually, fans have either a metal or plastic clip holding the shaft. Remove it carefully, without bending/cutting/stretching it. You will need to reinsert it later. Some higher end fans have two of these clips. 4- next there is usually a rubber ring and may also be washers. Take care with the order. Assembling it incorrectly later may destroy the fans. If you can't find the rubber ring, it is probably all the pieces of goo that were jamming the shaft. I usually get replacements for these from donor fans. 5- now you can push the fan. Beware that, on the fan side inside the central cover, there is usually another rubber ring and can also be a spring and washers so be careful when removing it or it may all fly away. 6- select your oil carefully. If the viscosity is too thin, the rotation will throw the oil away from the shaft. If the viscosity is too thick, the motor will have to work harder which will probably result in lower rotation speed, higher consumption and lower life span of the electronics (which will run hotter due to the higher consumption). I use a high temperature (600°C) that is marketed for high speed bearings (a small bottle cost a fortune in comparison to cooking oil) but is also toxic so you might want to be careful (wear gloves/glasses/mask) depending on what you get. 7- oil it by putting a very thin layer on the side of the shaft (less than a drop). I just use an oilier with a thin plastic tip an rub it on the side of the shaft. If you put too much remove it with absorbent paper (kitchen paper works) or wash it and clean everything but the shaft (or just clean everything and reapply the oil). Oil and electricity do not mix and any oil not on the shaft may end up in the coils of the motor or the electronics, potentially shorting it. 8- reassemble in reverse order 9- if the sticker does not seal properly, you need to replace the glue. Choose the glue wisely or you may never be able to remove the sticker in one piece ever again 10- test the fan in a bench power supply or on a system you do not mind frying just in case you did something wrong and the fan shorts. 11- If successful, pat yourself in the back for a job well done while keeping in mind all the time you wasted (it will help you evaluate if it is worth doing it again more selectively instead of doing it always for all fans) Good luck

@@SpaceRanger187 You can but if its making noise, then its already damaged. Thus it cannot be quieted without replacing the bearing or in most cases now days the entire fan. There are some older, and cheaper fans that can be oiled, Most higher quality ones these days used "sealed' units like shown in the video, and you are more likely to destroy the fan trying to get lube inside it, than you are fixing an annoying noise.

​@@SpaceRanger187ye-es, but i've never got more than about 6 weeks more from doing that, though I only have sewing machine oil. You want to catch them when their rolling resistance increases, if its rattling about the inside is buggered. Tl;dr it works if you catch early they aren't freely spinning- but use the time it buys you to order a new one as time has already damaged it. I've enjoyed doing it but if you explosive diarrhea oil over your pc when you boot it don't blame me.

Thank you!

Great request! We'll start setting one up!

Don't be surprised if it's not quite as exciting as a factory like this. Thermal paste formulas will be a secret of the manufacturer, and mixing a bunch of ingredients into a goo takes fewer steps.

@@Mountain-Man-3000 Very true, but at the same time it could still be interesting to see the QC processes involved, especially for various types of thermal pads and paste and/or liquid metals.

@@GamersNexus Considering you're on good terms with Der8auer, and also considering the rather wide line-up of Thermal solutions Thermal Grizzly has... *_*wink wink nudge nudge_**

Show us how sticky goo is made.

Wow! That's awesome to hear. I used to watch How It's Made with my dad, so that's a big compliment. Enjoy! And agreed on wanting to see the metal forging!

I miss Saturday morning cartoons!

If you find this interesting you should see how the even more mundane plastic bottle is made.

​@@BiscuitBarrel179No kidding. Plastic injection moulding is half and half science and art.

@WenchesNMead Injection moulding is easy, until you flash the moulds lol. I do blow moulding which is a lot more "by feel" for want of a better phrase.

An ASMR edition for the second channel might work.

Everyone has a plumbus at home.

@@shanent5793 yeah it’s the motor or drum warped unfortunately, I hate chucking stuff away but a friend had an old one going so I got that for free to use. I did try repair it again but yeah it’s just not really economical especially when your mate has a free one going. So off to the recycle centre she goes.
