Gold inside Intel Celeron D

Here I show you broken CPU from my old PC. This is Intel CPU Celeron D model and I brake it apart to show you gold content inside.

Beside gold plated pins you can see outside, this CPU have significant amount of gold inside its body.

This is socket PPGA478 CPU and like you see it comes with gold inside. I broke my CPU just to show you how to get gold out of CPU housing. Before braking your CPU make sure to remove pins from outside. The best way to do that is to use hot air blow machine. That is fast and easy way to remove gold plated pins from these kind a CPUs.

After you have removed pins take any kind of hard tool like pliers and screwdriver and broke CPU housing which will result with two main parts like you see on my pictures. Inside it housing unit there is gold hidden.

One more time to mention - this is Celeron D CPU which comes on A478 socket. One post before I have show you how to brake 755 socket CPU and gold hidden inside. Later on I'll try to reveal few more CPU models and to show which one have most gold inside its body.

Don't throw away old CPUs - in some time you may want to recycle them to get all that gold out. If you don't know how to do it then I suggest you to sell those CPUs for recycling. Someone want them and will bid for your quantity.
