MSI's Motherboard Production Process

MSI has unveiled an interactive webpage showcasing its motherboard production facilities. The company has detailed the 15-step manufacturing process that transforms bare circuit boards into complete motherboards.

The process begins with solder paste printing, where a precise layer of conductive paste is applied to the bare PCB. Automated inspection using imaging systems follows to verify proper paste placement. High-speed machines then position electronic components onto the board before moving through reflow ovens that permanently bond the components.

Multiple inspection stages are integrated throughout the assembly line, including automated optical systems that check both sides of the board. Specialized machines handle routing, component insertion, wave soldering, and alloy welding.

Each board undergoes circuit testing and receives mechanical components through automated screw-locking systems before final functional testing and molding. Rigorous quality checks and final power tests are conducted before the motherboard leaves the manufacturing facilities.

To celebrate the launch, MSI has announced promotional events running from January 20 to March 31, 2025, including Steam game codes with select product purchases. A new reward program offers points for product reviews and referrals.
