what yield can I expect on these cpu's?

[archeonist]

Hi Guys,

I have here a collection of cpu's I collected during a year. I was wondering what yield I can expect on these. Is 0,1g/cpu a good estimate? There are over 130 cpu's in total so I would expect 13g of Au. I ran cpu's before but never did the very high yield ones like the Pentium gold cap.
So am I high, low or good on my expectations about the yield?

Your estimate is low, less than half i would say.

Nice collection by the way.

There are a lot of those newer AMD ceramics without any lid and top. I never ran them by myself, but they seem to be lower than 0,1g. I would have come to the same estimation. It would be a valuable information, if you could process them as a separate batch and tell us, how much those AMD's yielded.

I will process them in a seperate batch, my expectaions on those AMD's are also below 0,1g. Thanks for the response!

Well, I guess, based on your comment and the comment by solar_plasma, I can at least expect 13g of Au. Thanks for your comment!

I'd say you can expect 30-35g.

uhhh you uhh... What?! :shock: Samuel, you make me smile 8) I have no experience refining high yield cpu's, only low yield like fiber and some ceramic pentium 2's, but 30-35g is shocking (in a positive way). Well in the weeks ahead I will refine them. I will let you know what I really pulled out of them.
Thanks for the comment samuel!

I don't usually disagree with anything Sam says but I think he's being a bit optimistic with his 30-35g here. Quite a lot of those chips are well under 0.1g so to make up for that you'd have to have a lot of other seriously high yielding chips to balance it out.

my guess is closer to 10 - 15 g

if i win the prize i would like it donated to the forum

archeonist,

Don't forget to let us know what you come up with. 8)

hello!

my guess is 12 grams :roll:

waiting for results

 

[AUH-R]

15grams, good luck.

I am going to go a bit Paul Daniels here.
I will say 10g ,Not a lot but I like it. :lol:

I do not refine myself,just scrap but with my limited knowledge if you get under anywhere under 20 grams with that many older cpu´s that have goldlids i would be suprised.

But my guess will be the least accurate from a refiners view
