Can I found any gold inside these Intel CPU 755 socket chips?


I have this Intel CPU with 755 socket technology and I want to know how to get out gold from them. Is there any gold inside them? Well let’s see…


This is what I have got. Three CPU chips with 755 socket housing. That means that this CPU doesn't have pins under. Instead of pins, we can see thin contacts which are gold plated.




After this closer look I decide to demolish one CPU, to see what is hidden inside.





Inside you can see some more gold plated surface.

Conclusion: While recycling this kind of CPU’s, it is very important to break them apart, for better gold extraction. Otherwise a significant amount of gold can stay trapped inside.
