The question is does Gigabyte still make there motherboards in Taiwan? reason why I am asking is because Just last week I had a customer call me and have his 1 week old Gigabyte motherboard die on him and that's the first for me seeing a gigabyte mobo die that fast. Only ever had one other die on me before and that was socket AM2 after 1.5yrs of use. Anyway I noticed that in the last three years, well at least from socket AM3 that the motherboards are all made in china, and ive had some old china motherboards before sent directly from china and the quality was terrible compared to the Taiwanese made boards. Now I am not saying that these latest boards are terrible quality, they actually look pretty good, but I have always found that the Taiwanese made motherboards to be better all round. So do they still manufacture boards in Taiwan? or is it all from China now? or is it just that Australia only now get China made motherboards because there cheaper? I like to know as I like to have good quality parts or continue that to my customers.
