My collected CPU's

[archeonist]

Hi guys, I collected some cpu's over the past months and I am ready to process them. I know there are some sheets out there wich give an indication for what yield to expect from them. But I am not so sure this data is really accurate.
If you look at the photo's and you would want to buy these fore yourself, what yield of gold would you expect? I will post my results later.
The total lot consists of:

34 ceramic CPU's
25 fiber big
38 fiber small (p4's and so)

And some of them got gold caps on them.

If you could give a break down of each type you have and how many of that type I could give you a pretty good guess as to how much you might get.

Ok Tyler, here we go,

first the fiber CPU's

Brown ones
5x AMD

Black ones
5 x pentium MMX
2 x celeron
2 x pentium i200

Green ones (the big CPU's)
5 x pentium III
2 x celeron
1 x pentium IV (unusual big one, I guess one of the first P4's?)
3 x AMD

Green ones (the small CPU's)
9 x p4
13 x celeron
4 x centrino
5 x athlon
2 x sempron
5 x turion

The ceramic CPU's


6 x AMD K6
7 x AMD duron
5 x AMD athlon
7 x pentium (year '92-'93)
3 x 486 DX4-100
1 x 486 DX2
1 x Cyrix MII-300GP Black cap
1 x Cyrix MII-300GP Gold cap
1 x IBM blue lightning DX2
1 x IBM 6x86MX PR200 Gold cap
1 x IBM 6x86 P150+ Gold cap

I did some investigation myself, the amount of gold should be around 7-7,5 grams

Not trying to razz you of any thing negative but, :shock:
From what I see in the pictures and your break down list, I personally would be surprised if you were to get 3,5 to 4 grams at most, if that. That's still guessing on the high side. That is based of my own experience actually running these types.
Your money is in the ceramic processors. All the rest aren't even worth messing with unless you get lots of them for free.

I'm sorry to say but I would have to agree with Tom on this one. All of the fiber cpus together might give you a half gram and then the ceramic and black fiber will give you maybe 4. These numbers are also with good practice and making sure to allow for all metals to go into solution.

Well fortunately most of them I got for free. My estimate was based on a pdf file I found on this site, giving information about the yield of gold per CPU. I'm not suprised that the estimate in real life is less than what was expected, this seems almost always the case in gold refining. I have no experience refining cpu's yet, but I already have some in refining RAM and flatpacks with very good results, see avatar Thanks for your comment guys!

You got them for the best prices then. Wish I could make findings like that.
Make sure you run the ceramics separately from the others. Samuel has a good video or 2 and written instructions on his site on dealing both types of processors.

Good luck and be safe in this journey. Be sure to study how to fully complete the processes before starting to use chemicals
