Ever wonder how a PC fan is made? Want to know all the components and steps involved? Check out this video.
Special thanks to DEEPCOOL. They were awesome hosts and we had a lot of fun touring their factory. Also, they did not keep any secrets and allowed us to point our cameras anywhere. That sends a strong message.
In this video we show you how the XFAN 120 with LEDs. Check out some of their fans here: http://amzn.to/1V0I2d6
Let us know what you think of the factory tour. If we can, we would love to do a lot more of this. Also, stay tuned. We have a full factory tour coming soon. It's a serious metal shop.
I didn't realize how meticulous of a job it was to create fans. I thought the process would have been a lot more automated. It's amazing that they let you film anything you wanted, seems like with technology companies they would want everything on lock-down. But I guess Deepcool was confident enough in their process and product that they didn't mind.
I will have to take a closer look at Deepcool when I'm shopping for fans again.
Ah I totally missed this upload, so this is a nice surprise :D Cool video. I was surprised by how much work was done by hand. Also, I noticed most of the workers at the soldering stations were women - did they mention anything about that? I used to work for Intel and most of the employees in the rework groups were women as I believe it has something to do with fine motor skills and delicate touch. Looking forward to part 2.
It was interesting to see how this factory operated, but I've never used a deep cool fan, and have no idea about how their perform - could be cooler to have a look into Noctua, Thermaltake or Fractal's productionlines.
I was really impressed with Deepcool and how they do business. It is really refreshing because they seem to have made their business mantra about making a good product and less about the marketing swill that goes into pushing your products. They were really professional to work with and wanted only to show us their products, how they work, and their rationale. There was no salesmanship -- it seemed to be a really down-to-earth experience. And, I've been really impressed with the stuff I've tested. The power supplies I have punished heavily and everything has been great.
Than you for the insights! I have visited some facilities here in Canada where they make security system PCBs and other related equipments like motion detectors, cameras etc (I am a security system technician) and it is pretty much the same!
I am glad that they use humans for quality control.
Interesting company, I might check out some of their products.
Very interessting to see, how they make their fans. Using humans for quality control is a great thing.
I think that company´s like DEEPCOOL dont get enough credits for what they realy do. And thats a bid sadd.
I realy like these kind of video´s, about down-to-earth company´s, who make their products with passion. Its just awesome, that they let you guys into their kitchen, to show their whole fan manufacturing proces.
I would love a Noctua factory tour. Couldn't imagine just how meticulous that process is. Of course they are very wary about their industrial secrets. But their competitor, BeQuiet, might be more willing to have you guys visit!
Power supplies are basically wizardry to me so I would love to see more details about how they stress test components, put it all together, etc...
