Top 10 Most Valuable CPU's for Gold Recovery

Top Most Expensive Computer CPU's for Gold Recovery by weight counted down

[nzoomed]

The collectors value on those top 5 chips is worth well more than the miserable gold inside. A pentium pro for example contains about a gram of gold, but is worth more than the gold value on Ebay.

This presentation was alright, but it would have been better (for me) if you would have broken it down to tell how many cpu's were in a kilo and/or how much individual cpu's were worth.

So sad that this is what is happening to all of these old CPUs. Anything pentium 1 and earlier should be preserved if it's not broken. Since they are starting to become quite collectible and valuable.

I am an ewaste scrapper also got a lot of knowledge watching your Very nice hope to see top ten valuable circiut board on your next upload thanks

[TheRailroad]

would be more valuable to sell them on eBay as they are to Retro PC collectors

[PaulBosMusic]

The last stand will be between gold vultures and vintage collectors/re-users

[grapsorz]

a lot of the CPUs there is worth a LOT more then the "gold value" as is for ppl that collect them or use them. the i8086 "ceramic/non gold" ones is 25$ and up for one. the same with most of thees CPU's. unless they r damage don't take them apart. complete system boards and so on as well. some of the boards you r taking apart can cost 500$ and more to replace.

Had to watch yet again. I'm separating my cpu's hoping to do some gold recovery next summer. Been stocking up on ewaste since I watched your first video almost 3 years ago!!
Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

The smaller the cpu is, more Gold ratio it has. A big cpu means you're paying for many kilos of non Gold material.

[nathanclark]

love that you do kilo and US dollar. Whats the value in Thai baht to hershey chocolate weight?

[OwlTech]

from 4.96kg mix 3&2 43g Au, or 8.67g Au/kg at least that was my yield
AMD K5 (gold top & bottom) 6.48g Au/kg
AMD 486 5.73g Au/kg
AMD 386 9.69g Au/kg
AMD Duron ceramic 2.2g Au/kg
IBM 686 and Cyrix 686 2.95g Au/kg
Intel Pentium Pro 256KB 4g Au/kg

Where do you find these cpus? Is it just your luck from computers or tvs? I’m really interested to know where you find them from and how many of them you need to make up a kilo. And also if these are worth more money working, how would you test them to see if they work?

[christophercross]

Are these prices for the gold after extracted or are these prices you can get for the chips w out w out extracting the gold ?

[belvis]

Is there a way to know if they work without running windows? There are a lot of these processors but it's hard to test if you don't have an adequate motherboard with it.

[xxtriplex]

intel 8086 waaw was not expecting that from a SMD microcontroller, don;t scrap it they are super rare just in the non-gold form.

[interestingspagetti]

So i watched a few vid's on extracting gold etc from electronic's. I can't get my head round that the energy used would make it pointless, unless on an industrial scale. I watched a guy burning it in his back yard, (very environmental) then rolling in a old gas drum for 2 days for 1 gram per kilo. I wonder what the hourly rate of pay would be for doing so?

[dominicbeasley]

I like this video eWaste Ben. What about AMD K5 where do they come on the list?

[danr]

How many cpu's does it take to equal 1 kilo in weight?

[xylz]

awesome vid as i just came across a ton of old comps and CPU's plus i was getting ready to ask u about this n the older comps n now u have vids go figure

[LynxCarpathica]

Nice! Can't find goldcapped CPU-s, especially Pentium Pro's near here Thanks for this Process. ;)
I WAS collecting CPUs for Years, yet I haven't been able to finy any that wasn't overpriced.
