Top 15 CPU's for GOLD - High Yield Gold Recovery

How much GOLD is in a CPU?
My Top 15 CPU's for Gold Content.
The #1 Most Valuable CPU for Gold might surprise some but when it comes to gold recovery from CPU's, It what's on the inside that counts.

Collectable CPU's need to be almost perfect to hold value, usually a CPU that's pulled straight from a PC, bent pins and wear devalues them a lot and usually only good for gold refining.

Keep Scrapping, Have Fun & Go Get That Gold!

Pentium Pro Black is more valuable for vintage collectors. Selling to a vintage collector will make you more money that the value in scrap. Great video ! Very informative! Thank you !

Why destroy expensive collectors items to get less than half the value in gold?

First person I have seen talk about cpu gold content. Very compelling to watch . Ace!

[quagmier]

Great video Ben. Right now I am going to see how many CPU I have that are on your list as I bet many of the other viewers are. Have a great day.

Good information, thank you for all the time you took to make the videos!

Hi, I've been watching your channel for the last month or so, I've used some info I've grained from your videos from top yielding gold plated CPU's /Pins and diff ways to exact gold . Ive open recently my own electronic scrap you recycling company and had a few members of my family on my team and things were so great . Had great founding, great grovement founding as well . They were such a big help with the whole process, it was a first for me and my friends of the grovement being such a big help in these ways that they were doing, and going out of thier way all the time to make sure how we were doing . About a year ago when we started seeing a big rise in covid-19 cases and things were shutting down ect ect Was about to shut down shop because nobody was dropping off electronic's anymore and founding went down with nobody dropping off anything because of covid-19 . I had to take a very small step back and take a small break to save up money again, by saving on running costs and the day to day expenses . And last month I was in the middle of doing research research and more researching ... Found the best, absolutely the all time best online company B2B seller called Alibaba.com and was able to increase my revenue for my Export/Importing online Company and force on this company of my . Did lots of paper work, from reach

I have a friend that owns a computer store in West Virginia and I used to work in a warehouse that he owns as well but I have done alot of recycling etc for him, but yeah if you take the time to collect and bunch of them and piece them out you can make money for sure. But you are awesome for letting people know how to go about doing the stuff.

That is one HELL of a collection! SWEEEET!

I like to watch this one. Second time I watched since the 1st time 5 months ago. I'm going to have this on my twice a year watch list!!!!
Thanks for the Awesome videos you always seem to put out!!!

[shaneyork]

I don't know if I'm going to be able to part with all my cpu's when I go for the gold. At first it was all about getting the cpu's and ewaste just for the gold and other pm but now I think I'm going to want to keep one of each! I'm thinking more of a collector than gold recovery. Which in time the Pentiums, 486's and cyrix etc, will possibly be worth more than double the gold content. Who knows maybe more than 10x!!
Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

[shaneyork]

Thank you Ben!
I was hoping for an extension vid from your "Top 10 CPU" video! Really cool that you put gold yield with this one!!!!
This one is very different than the "Top 10 CPU's" since that was graded on the value per kilo, which changed things a lot. I like both vids because both of them are very different.
To the subs, if you have NOT seen the top 10 CPU video I'd encourage you to go back & watch it!

Love your videos! I’m a scrapper myself and have found your videos to be very helpful.

Thanks for the valuvable Information❤️

What about the socket 4 pentium? It's larger than the one shown in this video (which is socket 5/7), and also has gold casing on both sides. The socket 5/7 does have more pins though, so I'm not sure which has more gold.

[QuaaludeCharlie]

Ok, but Can't you get More Money for a Working CPU for Use in an Older Computer ? I mean I would cash some in if they Under Preformed . But the goal is to Keep the CPU's around for little Johnny in 2043 so He can fix up Vintage Computers . :) QC

Where have you got your data from? The Plastic PPro info is interesting but your data doesn't seem to tie up with the reality of processing these CPUs (in some cases).

I’m pretty sure you are over estimating the amount of pure gold in several CPU’s from my experience.
The VAX DEC CPU’s have produced .17g of pure gold for me. It also has a bit of silver. Total precious metals might be closer to your weight.
Pentium pro ceramic has produced .3 ish grams of Pure gold for me.
What process did you use.
Clean and torch off consumables then:
Crush, AR, drop?
Crush, dilute nitric out base metals, AR, drop?
Let me know if you would.
Thanks for your good work

eWaste Ben your saying too litle 1:20.Witch part is golden just the pins or the plate as well?

[ГогоЕмов]

Good job man i like your videos, and your work . good luck :) hallo from Bulgaria

Can you check the MC68EC040 CPU? That's the 040 CPU from Motorola 68k. It looks very similar to 486DX2 at gold side, around 0.20 g.
