CPU's No good for refining Do not Buy!!!

[qst42know]

There isn't anything wrong with low grade scrap, for the right price. Time and materials have to weigh heavy against the value. Knowing what to pass on is vital. At eBay average prices it would be difficult to break even. Often the right price may be well below the shipping cost. Good buys in some categories are few and far between on eBay.

Ryan, it's not auto editing. I changed the words. I had no intention of changing your message, which I think was very appropriate.

As you alluded, I try to keep this a clean forum. That way we won't be troubled with morons that can't speak three words without two of them being less than pleasant. Everyone wins, which is something I have learned by my years on the computer. Once a free-for-all atmosphere develops, the quality of readers drops drastically.

I'm not a prude. I know and use bad language---even spout the big F word when it's appropriate, although I'm not proud to say I do.

However, when I realize that words I put on a screen may be viewed by people all over the world, and their impression of me will be formed by what I say, and how I say it (you are what you write), I prefer to be recognized as a person that has at least a modicum of education and enough decency to speak without offending. I would like readers to think of me as a credible individual, even when I may say something that isn't exaclty right.

Thanks for your understanding. Your words weren't bad, just not great for the forum.

low grade or high grade scrap makes no difference to me because gold is gold no matter how you get it.

peroxide and muratic is too cheap to use when you can snag that much gold from cpu's and motherboards.

actually the ratio of gold per ton is pretty unreal compared to most gold ore and easier to get to.

i process any cpu because color is the name of the game and it beats the hell out of panning for hours to get a littlt dust.

I had some luck with these cpu's. i put 1 pound in the ole' crokpot untill all was done. i experianced some serious iron? that would just not desolve. after filtering, i took a magnet around the mess to pull out undisolved iron. the i filtered trough a fabric filter to let the granules of iron? pass, but retain the gold foils. i suspect i had some losses doing that but i didnt see a better way, all said and done, i think i got around 1/2 gram from it all. the scale weight almost 1 but there were smd parts in with it that weret removed untill i disovlved the foils in hcl / clorox

hope this help out and i welcome any further comments on these troublesom chips.

Harold_V thanks for keeping it clean in this house. its well apprciated as most of the time we cant take back or change what we say.

I would just add a few words to the filter thats built into the php program to just auto edit the trash without deleting any content.

it sure saves a ton of time.

While that's true, it also limits some legitimate conversations. Remember, some words aren't unacceptable when used in the proper context.

I do not alter the meaning of a post, even if I must remove unacceptable language. If the entire post is offensive, it is deleted. I am no stranger to moderating, having been doing so since 2002.

We commonly use the word ******* in the machining industry, which simply means that something is non-standard. Even files can be marked as a *******------so eliminating some words makes it hard to have an acceptable conversation.

You need not worry about bad language on this forum. I am junk yard dog tough on that issue. Not because I'm offended, but because I am all too aware that if we allow such behavior on the forum, it won't be long until we have nothing more than a following of buffoons that don't have a sense of decency and think they're cute, spouting off like the morons they are.

I guarantee you one thing------if bad language becomes acceptable on this forum, I, for one, will be gone in a heart beat. I fully expect readers to behave and use acceptable language. We have family people reading, many with children that may be looking over shoulders. I'm certain they prefer to think of this place as one where they can visit without fear of exposing their loved ones to offensive language. If some readers find that too much to ask, they have no business on this forum.

I have had good luck using AP then nitric after which I use Muratic and clorex. Its time consuming but I get the gold and the chips are the cheapest one on the market.

I do not like filter words, this is why, someone could be talking about building a bomb, say this is banned, sounds good.

Now say someone types up some big long process for dissolving gold from chips or what ever, and in the last sentence he says something like
to keep from bombing out on this process it is very important you do not add salt.

there you go, bang, the post is in lala land.

may not be the best example, but that happend to me so many times on the mythbusters forum, I just gave up, and they are a site about blowing stuff up, burning stuff down, etc.

That's an excellent word to consider. Bombing is a process whereby jewelers use cyanide and hydrogen peroxide to rapidly de-scale a casting. It's a perfectly legal and useful term.
