GNS - e-Scrap Yield List v1.

0 This list was prepared for Gold-N-Scrap Subscribers/Viewers and members of the Gold Refining forum by Sam (Samuel-a). This list is only partial as it is impossible to collect every known CPU/component and assay it for Gold and Silver content. So here, shown the yield results of the most abundant types. Also, remember that sometimes the same type of CPU may have several other variations and also keep in mind that not all CPU's are assembled in the same factory, therefore, your own numbers my differ somewhat from the numbers shown here. This list is NOT a collection of numbers from online sources, it is the result of many hours at the lab and it is given for free with a spirit of sharing. It is my hope that this list will somewhat help you buy, sell or refine scrap CPU's and components in a more conscious way. The following yield numbers were resulted by means of a Hydrometallurgical processes rather then a Pyrometallurgical one and the numbers were rounded down. This means, that actual yields may be 1-3% higher then it is shown here. In most cases, both Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag) were assayed. As mentioned above, this list is given for FREE to EVERYBODY! You are allowed to share and copy this list and distribute it by whatever means you like AS LONG as you keep it in its original form and provide proper Credit + Links. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL THIS LIST TO OTHERS !!! The more exposure this list will get online the less likely for it to be sold by opportunistic eBay/Amazon sellers.

This list is exclusively published for Gold-N-Scrap e-mail subscribers at the moment. If YOU wish to add your own yield results (with pictures) for a certain CPU or a component type that's not listed here, please send it to sam@goldnscrap.com and it will be verified & published (with credits) as I send out updates of this list. Here we go.
