Gold Recovery From Scrap CPU's - Introduction

In electronics waste we can always find some CPU's . CPU's are usually considered as the grand prize out of the different electronic components for gold recovery. That is why they have one of the highes scrap price per lb. and that is way we decided to dedicate a whole section for them.


The CPU is, in other words the main computer processor that compute all of the computer activities, for that reason they were produced with the best materials that they could think of, one of those materials is Gold.
At the Scrap value point of view we can divide CPU types to three categories: Ceramic, Fiber and intermediate.




CPU types
CPU types

  • Ceramic - The body composed entirely of a ceramic compound, heat sink in some types is gold plated, pins are gold plated, gold traces inside leading to the CPU core. Out of the three, the ceramic type CPU's are the most valued since they were produced at times that gold was cheaper, as well the lake of advanced material engineering.


  • Intermediate - These are a combination of a fiber body and a ceramic core, Pins are gold plated less thick then the old ceramics, gold traces leading to the CPU core and inside the ceramic piece are microns thick gold wires also leading to the CPU core.


  • Fiber - the least valued type, Pins are gold plated less thick then the ceramics type, usually, mounted on them are ceramic capacitors that contains Palladium or Silver/Palladium.


Stay posted for our next articles on how to process and recover the gold out of CPU's.

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng thì thấy có người nhắc tới b52.cat trong lúc câu chuyện đang nói dở, nên cũng mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu, chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để nhìn bố cục và cách sắp xếp nội dung tổng thể. Xem xong mình quay lại bài viết trước đó và tiếp tục đọc các phản hồi phía dưới.

Khi đang đọc một vài bài chia sẻ trên mạng, mình thấy nhiều người nhắc đến https://b29.sa.com nên cũng tò mò mở vào xem thử. Mình chỉ lướt qua nhanh để xem giao diện và cách họ sắp xếp các mục nội dung. Nhìn chung trang được trình bày khá gọn gàng và dễ quan sát. Xem qua một lúc rồi mình quay lại tiếp tục đọc bài viết ban đầu.

Great overview of the CPU types and why they’re so valuable for gold recovery. I’m eager to read the upcoming guide on extracting the gold.Before checking The Forge Ores List page, I was farming blindly. Now I know exact locations and drop rates. My efficiency improved a lot.

Thanks for the clear breakdown of CPU categories and their scrap value. I'm looking forward to the next article on gold recovery. The Stand Out Discord Fonts is my go-to tool for custom Discord text. It’s clean, fast, and doesn’t require any setup. Great for making messages stand out.

Great overview of CPU types and their gold content—looking forward to the next guide on extraction.Whenever someone asks where to begin, I send RoboLibrary Start Page and they usually find what they need right away.
