Just had to say today is the first day I’ve ever taken a computer apart. Thanks to one of your videos I’ve recovered my first gold fingers using a hot iron! I felt like a pro hahahaha
Thank you Sir..I am getting a good education from you. I have been recycling computers for at least 7 years and now i know how much gold i am accumulating. I think the person who I have been selling to has been feeding me a line of bull about true gold content.
I love your videos! I’ve watched just about every one of your videos and hope you keep making them. Just so you know, many people make videos but they are not as enjoyable to watch as you are👍🏼thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m scrapping and I believe I love it as much as you do☺️
great vid ben . any information of webs sites that give you info on boards , sort after vintage/high value boards would be great from scrappers anybody been doing this about a year now and have a great source but find it hard to start to break a board incase its a rare one or sort after , feel like i dare sent touch them lol
Just starting out. What is aluminium heat sink , and keep separate from other aluminium - why is this? What is a slot card, ram stick and IC chip? I heard you mention a carat solution is this to find if high or low grade gold or if in fact gold at all? Do you separate grades of gold?Thank you so much for your help - look forward to your reply.Wazza
+Warwick Atkinson aluminium heatsink is what sits on top of the cpu in pc's, it's usually extruded aluminium si it's worth a little more then regular. slot card like a video card or network card that slots into a motherboard. ram stick is RAM, the memory sticks. IC chip are the black chips on a circuit board, usually long and black with legs on each side.
+Warwick Atkinson end of the day gold is gold, at this stage don't worry about it, just stack it up and when your more experienced you'll know the difference.
Hello, I've been running across memory cards with "silver" fingers. They're from Cobalt network hubs which, sadly, I found no buyers for so I'm scrapping them. I still have 5 or 6. As much I would hope they are platinum....I'm guessing they're something worth very little...silver would be nice at least. Any ideas?
Thanks! I'd still like to get a photo of this LARGE CPU (roughly 8 or 9 cm square) I found in one of my pickups. It came from some IBM machine based on the sticker on it bearing the logo....but no more info on it. White, heavy ceramic with wider spaced gold pins. The heat sink it came in is gorgeous as well. Had solid copper spacers in it too....very cool.
What carat r the coins 24? I've got just over a kilo of stripped ram boards and about 200 odd stripped mobile phones what I am guna b processing them mayb Christmas time 😊hoping 2 get at least 2 kilo of ram boards I work at a transfer station and it's all free :)
hi how do you recover gold. do you just melt it then add 24ct gold as i live in the uk so cannot get any chemicals which people use to recover gold. if you do melt gold and add 24ct gold do you know where i can get 24ct gold at scrap price as people charge £10 or $15 more than the scrap price on ebay and other gold websites. thanks
im in the us , so I wont be stomping on your toes lol so could you give me any tips on where to find scrap computers/electronics , I haven't been able to find any well 3 so far but I paid like $5 which puts me in the hole either way thanks for the video
+Mike Pezz computer repair shops & tv repair shops build up circuit boards, some you might pay, others may give you them free, especially if you can provide a bin, schools always have e-waste, businesses, office buildings etc, just depends how far you want to take it, there's plenty e-waste out there if you want to start a part time hobby business, you just want to focus on recycling and use that line, telling them your just going for gold won't get much but saying your keeping e-waste out of landfill will sound better.
BEN KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!. i love the videos man keep it up. would like to do a video with you or mention your channel on mine. i am coming out with some great videos in 2016 on how you can make money scraping computers when you have no money to start yourself.... these videos are int he editing room and its just insane the stuff i have coming out. i would love to do something with you ben. if you have any questions hit me up. just uploaded an sweet as video today that will blow your mind!
it dosent matter in color it matters on the layer of gold because under these layers is copper and a tiny bit silver in some case if I,m right, I,m a computer builder and in college that what I was told, so it takes quite a lot to recover gold I know because I do it on the side , but the guy in the video still have a bit of knowledge from what he is saying.
hardly anything inside a laptop, there is the processor, ram chips, some connector pins, sometimes the sound card outlets, the processor base and the docking pins for your hard drive that's it and maybe some ic chips.
+Adam Dilem too hard to work out, ram weighs different, depends on the ic chips on it, a lot of gold is in the ic chips and the whole ram stick can have gold plating on it, so the fingers are just a small part of it and most ram you don't cut fingers off, you process the whole stick.
eWaste Ben I'am based in the UK and UK sellers are asking for about £20/kg of RAM (if you add the shipping fee) often more! Which is over $30. Wonder how the buyers are getting any profit out of it. How do you process the whole ram then and how do you get other than gold precious metals content too?. I know there are expensive shredding and grinding installations for that but am talking at a level of DIY at home.
+Adam Dilem you remove everything off the stick and dip them whole just like you would fingers, let the gold disolve in the solution, the ic chips are usually incinerated to get to the gold. 20 pounds is too much to pay, you better off building them up from pc's you find
Hola amigo, estoy aquí en Brasil. Aquí casi no existe este tipo de chatarra, ¿hay algún proveedor de chatarra en su país que pueda suministrarla aquí en Brasil? gracias Hello my friend, I am here in Brazil. There is almost no such scrap here, is there a scrap supplier in your country that can supply it here in Brazil? thanks
+Nate Chaps thee board is not in the screen, yeah I take the board but i don't pull apart the screen, I leave it intact and send to recycling, your question was do I take apart the screens.
do you know the powder Eco-Goldex? and the sheath unit Gold Hunter? can you viedio when you tobe Actions I would like to know your opinion so. ebay is a guy from canada he wants for 300 gram Eco-Goldex15 $ and 80 $ for shipping !!!!
you still need to use aqua regia to get the gold, so it's not really a safe alternative in the end. normally the solution would be 50/50 nitric/water, some people use HCL to dissolve the gold. I don't refine so can't helpmuch
Sorry, that's not true. There are plenty of videos on youtube of professionals getting around 0.8 ounces of gold from 100 RAM modules (Mike the Scrapper for one). 50 DDR2 modules produce 2 ounces of prime cut fingers so that would be 880 modules to 1 kilo. 0.8*8.8 = roughly 7 ounces of gold.

Hi, Borax can be found at the hardware store, it's a cleaner. Nitric can be bought at chemical supply companies. Tantalum Capacitors are mostly sold to American refiners, yes very hard to sell except on ebay. Thanks for watching.
+Boomy around 6 grams per kg, there's a couple different ways to get the gold, it's not something simple, it can kill you if you breath the chemicals so do your research

its to bad that not all computer parts are reused to build a refurbished computer for the poor , back when i were young i had to steal my first computer system , i could not work enough to make extra money to buy one , now finally the system realizes that i needed some sort of funding for my physical disability , if this funding would have been available for me back then i would not have been so heavily into crime
Amazing to see a video from 7 years ago. I still remember seeing this video for the first time. Still today the video makes sense.

My old vinyl siding snips work awesome for these
flat packs are north and south bridges you can find them on anything but they always have a gold spec in one corner always
labeled on the bridges?
Ben, do you have any videos on the process of getting the gold from the pins?
Thank you! Cheers! ;)
It's a lot easier to cut them with a pair of tin snips / flashing cutters that they use for cutting roofing flashing
like the videos.. only issue i have with information provided is "gold quality is not color dependent" otherwise good information and thanks for it
I think your camera is a bit drunk at times haha but anyways this video was pretty informative :)
try satalite transmitter there is a lot on the boards, its the ones that goes on the dish itself.

When will you show you making a gold bar

some say silver, some say tin, more value in the ic chips though

how much does a pound of gold fingers go for these days?
2-3g of gold per lb so..
On boardsort.com its $25/pound last I checked

i dont think you need to separate the connectors from the boards, you can soak them together and the etching solution should recover more plating

do u take a part the screens on lap tops?
+Nate Chaps nope
hey man how many components in a pc or laptop contain gold?
+Shayne Symonds quite a lot, most things that connect and the motherboard has many items with gold
hardly anything inside a laptop, there is the processor, ram chips, some connector pins, sometimes the sound card outlets, the processor base and the docking pins for your hard drive that's it and maybe some ic chips.
How many Rams routhly to make 1kg bulk of plated fingers?
+Adam Dilem too hard to work out, ram weighs different, depends on the ic chips on it, a lot of gold is in the ic chips and the whole ram stick can have gold plating on it, so the fingers are just a small part of it and most ram you don't cut fingers off, you process the whole stick.
eWaste Ben want to know how much is it worth to pay per unit for gold recovery.
+Adam Dilem you buy per kg not per single unit, US$20 per kg max if your recovering gold from the ic chips too.
eWaste Ben I'am based in the UK and UK sellers are asking for about £20/kg of RAM (if you add the shipping fee) often more! Which is over $30. Wonder how the buyers are getting any profit out of it.

I do this were would I send them to? to scrap a pawn shop?
to a toll refiner, they can turn your stuff into gold and send it back to you.
I like how he has a bit of paper with 1kg of gold written on it as you do when taking pictures for selling lol
Can't believe my dad made me throw away loads of old parts due to lack of space.

How much gold will you get from a computer, averagely?
1 kilo of pure 24k gold per computer.
Ha ha ha, what planet are you from.
Danny.
there is metal and other circuit boards in there little ones but still
+Nate Chaps thee board is not in the screen, yeah I take the board but i don't pull apart the screen, I leave it intact and send to recycling, your question was do I take apart the screens.
ok thanks
yea but how many rams to get a killo of fingers
It takes roughly 880 RAM modules to produce 1 kilo of fingers.
you could probably make more selling the stuff on ebay
a kilo is 2.23 ls right?
+Perry Seay 2.2lb yep
can i buy your gold fingers
do you know the powder Eco-Goldex? and the sheath unit Gold Hunter?
can you viedio when you tobe Actions I would like to know your opinion so. ebay is a guy from canada he wants for 300 gram Eco-Goldex15 $ and 80 $ for shipping !!!!

I don't refine so can't helpmuch

Sorry, Its not true. 1kg of high grade gold fingers = 3 - 4 gramas of pure gold.
Sorry, that's not true. There are plenty of videos on youtube of professionals getting around 0.8 ounces of gold from 100 RAM modules (Mike the Scrapper for one). 50 DDR2 modules produce 2 ounces of prime cut fingers so that would be 880 modules to 1 kilo. 0.8*8.8 = roughly 7 ounces of gold.
Hello.
I'm from Germany, I use google to translate.) ..
I learned a lot from you. I like what you're doing.

Hi, Borax can be found at the hardware store, it's a cleaner.
Nitric can be bought at chemical supply companies.
Tantalum Capacitors are mostly sold to American refiners, yes very hard to sell except on ebay.
Thanks for watching.
hallo.
6 gramm gold 24k???
yes 24k
What is the value of 1 kilo of ram fingers, and if you process them yourself, what does it take (material wise)
+Boomy around 6 grams per kg, there's a couple different ways to get the gold, it's not something simple, it can kill you if you breath the chemicals so do your research
Do people buy just ram fingers? i problably can't afford to buy all the materials needed
+Boomy Yep, people buy all fingers, not just from ram. they also buy ram complete for $10-$12 kg
+eWaste Ben got a pound of ram fingers, value?
+Boomy not much, if you refined it you'd get around 2 grams of gold, so $70 to $80 after refining, to sell the fingers, maybe $30
so 1 kilo gram is 2 pounds?
+Nate Chaps 1kg is about 2.2 pounds
Perfek
use tin snips man works so much better n u wont scrape gold offf
y not?
+Nate Chaps there's nothing in the screen so why pull it apart?
