ASUS the First to Fully Automate Graphics Card Production

[Kleptobot]

I'm surprised Apple has not done this years ago with all their complaints, and factory problems. I feel bad about the jobs, but the auto industry has been this way for years. One thing to think about is with this process, baking cards and bringing them back to life will not happen now. You will not be able to reflow the card. This will increase the profits for Asus because people will be forced to buy a new card, and unable to salvage what they have.

Why would automated pcb assembly make it impossible to reflow solder?

I would think with no flux, it would not flow, more clump up or fall out.

Most automated processes still use a flux of some kind. Besides you could always add your own haha
