We have been providing training since 1980 for gold, silver, palladium, platinum, and other precious metals recovery from CPUs, motherboards, RAMs, hard drives, x-ray films, cell phones, and all other kinds of e-waste. We have quick gold recovery methods as well. We also provide consulting for setting up e-waste plants as well as help in setting up small-scale copper recovery plants with low investment. We also provide a daily e-waste price list.

Gold in Eproms/Gold in window ICs/Silver in Eproms/Silver in window ICs/Silver in Glass ICs
Today, we are going to discuss the precious metal content in Eprom ICs. The latest technologies and programmable microchips used today all came from these programmable E-prom integrated circuits.
For your information, most of these e-proms have silver and gold. One kilogram of silver-plated ICs contains approximately 12 grams of silver. And one kilo of gold-plated (inside) e-proms contains one gramme of gold. Some programmable ICs have gold-plated pins. They yield even more gold. So, if you happen to lay your hands on white e-proms, don’t throw them because they have silver.

Tips for Making More Money from Computer ICs and Chips: Extracting Gold
Because nickel is magnetic, a magnet can be used to separate nickel pins from copper pins. These pins are store-able, and they can fetch you a good amount of money if they put on a significant amount of weight.
After extracting gold from the aqua regia solution, you must save it since it also contains palladium. Thus, take the palladium out of this solution. Chips contain 50 to 100 milligrammes of gold, while dip ICs have 50 milligrammes of palladium per kilogramme.
Hopefully, you now have a thorough grasp of how to maximise your profits when extracting gold from chips and integrated circuits (ICs) by applying the aforementioned procedures.

Extracting Gold & Palladium from CPU Computer Scrap/Recycle Gold & Palladium from CPU/Gold & Palladium Recovery from CPUs
Numerous papers discuss the extraction of gold from microprocessors. People offer suggestions on how to retrieve gold from processors. However, I haven't come across any videos from them regarding palladium recovery. The truth is that, in addition to gold, these microprocessors also contain palladium. As a result, you must also extract palladium from them in order to receive their entire amount of money. In a similar vein, I've watched a ton of videos on how to recover gold from chips. They just take the gold out of them and discard the palladium-containing fluid. Therefore, be sure to collect palladium metal from microprocessors if you ever extract gold from them. As a result, you can gain more from it.

How much gold is in old desktop computer motherboard?
We must go back in time to the era when AMD and Intel produced desktop computer motherboards in order to discuss the topic of gold content in computer motherboards. Back then, gold wasn't that pricey. As a result, the motherboards from these two companies had a lot more gold on them compared to motherboards made later by other Chinese businesses.
At that time, one kilogramme of BGA chips yielded 6.5 grammes of gold.
On motherboards, there were two kinds of black chips: PQFP (outward pins) and PLCC (inward pins). A kilogram of PQFP chips contained approximately 1.5 grams of gold. Additionally, each kilogramme of PLCC chips had between 700 and 800 milligrammes of gold.
We were able to obtain about 50 grams of these chips from one kilogram of motherboards. Additionally, the motherboard's gold-plated connectors contained between 100 and 150 mg of gold per kilogram. After that, they have tantalum capacitors, which are a reliable source of tantalum metal. MLCCs produce palladium, silver, and gold. Motherboard transistors also contain a significant amount of gold.
So, now if we calculate the total amount of gold from one kilo of motherboards, it is around 190 milligrammes.
Here are the specifics:
One big-size BGA chip on the motherboard weighs around 5 grams. We get three BGA chips from one kilo of motherboards.One gram of BGA chip yields 6.5 milligrams of gold.
So, from 15 grammes of BGA chip, we get 6.5x15=97.5 milligrammes of gold.
We receive 250 grams of gold-plated connectors from one kilo of motherboards. Let's keep 100 milligrams of gold from one kilo of connectors. So, for 250 grams of connectors, we get 25 milligrams of gold. We get 1.150 grams of gold for every kilogram of mixed chips. So, 50 grams of mixed chips yield 57.5 milligrams of gold. transistors and MLCCs contain 10 milligrams of gold.
Now let us total it all up: 97.5 + 25 + 57.5+ 10 = 190 milligrammes of gold.
The current price for 10 grams of 24 karat gold in New Delhi, India, is USD 812. One milligram of gold is 0.812 USD.
So, 190x0.812=154.28
As a result, the gold value per kilo of motherboard is around USD 15.
In addition to gold, motherboards also yield palladium, silver, copper, solder, and other metals.
There was about 10 to 20% less gold in later desktop motherboard models made by other companies.
