Don't waste your time with one of those chips.
My buyer pays 22 cents for those.

I threw one to AP today. In one hour all pins fell off chip they appeared rusty. No visible gold whatsoever. You need few dozen of them to get gram.

You mean to put them in aqua regia.

Put them in straight HCL in a coffee pot on a hot plate, or you can skip the hot plate. Don't do just one tho it is not worth the effort unless you just want something to do. There is iron under what little gold there is.

This is a picture of 100 of them, not a pretty sight.

You can easily find everything here on this forum. You need to put some effort in what you are doing. There are no quick answers becouse if you want to do something you need to understand what you are doing. You cannt get there fast. If you want to get somewhere fast and start running you increasing chance that you trip, fall or finish under somebodys car... Start learning, read through forum - I know it is time consuming but then you will get much better results in your refining. When I joined this forum I have spend 18 months reading, learning and after that I start with few small batches and experiments. I am still not confident enough and need to improve my washing and filtering techniques.
There are step by step manuals here you are free to go looking for them but if you will miss one step or substitute one ingredience or some other thing/mistake will happen where would you go if you dont know what went wrong? When I said AP I did not mean Aqua regia. It was HCl with H2O2. I am happy everytime when I see new member as hey can contribute here too and we can get more informations. I still recomend to spend some time and to put some effort into this. When you will hold your first button then you will be twice more happy not only becouse you have that but becouse you know how you did it and you will know that you can do it again.....

I will agree with you 100%'Glory, I whish I would never had started but such is life. The years of construction have done more harm to my lungs than the cigarettes.

My great grandfather was a Marlboro man. He lived to be 82. May you do the same.

Thanks for the picture list of CPU's by the way. Someone put some effort into that. Thanks!

 

[Barren Realms 007]

I have posted that list a few times here but no one has ever stepped up and taken credit for compiling the info on it. The concensus is that the yield data is possibly wrong. Since no one has taken credit for it I might try to add to the list as time goes. So any data on other CPU's that could be added will help.

I just liked the pictures and weights. 8)

Be careful with the weights on this use your own data.

In Steves homepage was Intel document for pga370 and fc-pga370 processors. There was some measures about pins and gold content. I made some math and resul was about 0,025g per processor. In my area these processors cost 15,6 $ per Kg. So there is gold but quite few. At the moment I process 60 pieces of these processors.

5 pounds = 2267.961 g of fingers. 600 grams of closely clipped fingers ball park yields 3 grams in a good batch. So you in theory have between 0 and 11ish grams of gold. If you safely follow the guidance of this site and Laser Steve's Site Videos.

Or you can always sell them and not incur the safety gear, chemicals, glassware, torch etc. cost involved.

this may be the Lazarus of topics - but:
could the iron contamination be coming fromthe monolithics no one bothers to remove before processing? i thought i remembered from Steve's posts on these that iron was a component & would eventually react with the solution. just a thought. or a 'hiccup', actually. Darn Adult ADHD.

I actually encounter good amount of little square sized foils gray-white colour swirling around with foils from pins. I keep foils in small amount of HCl to accumulate before adding Clorox and those foils just dissolved after few days... There was only HCl and small amount of water in jar.

Is that a medical opinion, or a guess? (I expect a guess-----unless you worked around asbestos)

Regardless, stop if you can. Seek help to stop if you can't. You will be amazed at what you've been missing, and I'm sure you'll be able to find something to do with the money you'll save. Smokes, here, are over $6 pack now. :shock:
