    The method used in this video for gold recovery from CPUs seems less efficient than it could be. I believe chemical extraction methods would yield far better results and greater precision. Using the right chemical processes could potentially maximize gold recovery and improve overall efficiency.

    I don't know why you all melt this gold powder with a burner from above, a blast of flame will certainly blow some of the powder out of the crucible, so there are more losses, it would be better to heat the crucible from the bottom.

    Some quick maths here for whoever in interested:
    If average CPU weight is 60g then that would mean there would be approximately 233 CPUs.
    They would have to be sold at about £20 each to have the same value as the gold resulted from the melting.maybe less if I knew how much silver was melted.
    So conclusion is that depending how old they are it might not be worth putting them back on the market and melting is better option.
    I did not take in to account the time and materials of the melting process as I'm not familiar with the costs.

    As I understand, there are gold threads left inside the ceramic plates!!! You have only taken the visible parts with gold which is a loss. Try to crush the ceramic plates into fine powder and look for the gold that remains in the form of thin wire.

    • @OwlTech333
      @OwlTech333  Год назад +16

      There's no gold bonding wires inside the ceramics! From GRF "A standard ceramic CPU is made of several layers of ceramics bonded together. between the layers (while the ceramics is still unfired, also called green) is screen printed conductors of molybdenum. The ceramic body is then fired and the molybdenum that is exposed is then gold plated. On the bottom or side, pins are brazed or soldered and in the cavity bond wires are used to connect landing pads on the die with the exposed gold plated conductors. For bonding wires aluminum or gold can be used.
      Inside the ceramic body is the molybdenum conductors and the only gold is the exposed gold and the gold under the die.
      To use gold inside the ceramic body would be problematic. Thermal expansion and contraction will break conductors over time unless it expands with the same rate as the ceramic body. Molybdenum is the solution on this problem and it is cheaper that gold.

    Its crazy. 20-30 years ago we all had our tower computers or 4 inch thick laptops that we thought were precious pieces of technology that we'd have forever and were worth much more than all the gold in the world to us as we turned them on and waited 12 minutes to get the home screen up. Little did we know today we'd be ripping these worthless boxes open with claw hammers to get the gold in them which is all they are worth now.

      Yes 90 grams of gold . You can make 50.000 by selling pentium 1 cpu to retro collectors. They become rare due recycling maniacs. The price of a single cpu new was over 200 .

  • @John-ir2zf
    @John-ir2zf Год назад

    Honest question....
    Why didn't you crush the chips ?
    Inside of those sandwiched ceramic plates are tiny gold wires from each pin to the chip. I doubt the gold escaped from between the ceramic plates without breaking them open.

    • @OwlTech333
      @OwlTech333  Год назад +2

      There's no gold bonding wires inside the ceramics! From GRF: "A standard ceramic CPU is made of several layers of ceramics bonded together. between the layers (while the ceramics is still unfired, also called green) is screen printed conductors of molybdenum. The ceramic body is then fired and the molybdenum that is exposed is then gold plated. On the bottom or side, pins are brazed or soldered and in the cavity bond wires are used to connect landing pads on the die with the exposed gold plated conductors. For bonding wires aluminum or gold can be used.
      Inside the ceramic body is the molybdenum conductors and the only gold is the exposed gold and the gold under the die.
      To use gold inside the ceramic body would be problematic. Thermal expansion and contraction will break conductors over time unless it expands with the same rate as the ceramic body. Molybdenum is the solution on this problem and it is cheaper that gold.

      Though I'll still crush mine since your copied article clearly says "for bonding wires, aluminum or GOLD can be used".
      It's a small quick step and if it liberates more gold, I'll go through the extra step.

      Goldplated stuff isn,t really worth that much at all. As the colour on the coldplating will eventually lose it,s colour and fade over time the duller the colour then the more chance their is of it being gold same as silver/copper

      you won't find computers old enough to have these CPUs easily... they cost a lot already and will just continue rising in price... some decade later people who scrapped them will wallow in regret seeing how high the prices got. some like pentium pro, as mentioned by others, already cost a lot, not to mention it's insanely hard to find even one! i've been fleamarketting and buying up computer oldies for long time and yet to find even one - seems whatever was existing here is long since smelted...
