How much Gold in DDR1 RAM

My latest attempt at getting the gold out of RAM specifically 10kg of DDR1 RAM. My full yield calculations are at the end if you want to skip ahead. As always please comment below. I welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Excellent work. Thank you for the sweet video.!!. Quick question, did you get close to your expected yield? I hate bringing it up because you did such an awesome job, but I believe you should have incinerated the chips again to a white powder after you washed/gravity separated them. Carbon is a thief and does not want to give up the Gold.. :) Again, Great Job.

@@tntmadness3138 thanks for watching tnt, I have no idea what the expected yield is from these. I expect that my result will be on the low end and there is some more to get so I never throw the wastes away. I save them all up labelled separately just in case. The video is more an example of what you should realistically expect. I figure if I can get that with my setup as it is then that’s a fair estimate, without spending thousands for equipment and running loads of batches to get your experience level up. I’ve read many times about a second incineration after pyrolysing the chips initially but I just went with the majority of the chips turned to fine powder just squeezing them with my fingers so I don’t know how much more burnt they could get. I agree a second incineration after milling may pay off with a higher yield but the only way I can think of for testing to check the voracity of it would be to do an even split of a large batch, by even I mean literally cutting the ram sticks in half and separating out the chips to see if there is a difference between identical batches and then refining them with lab level techniques. Could make for a good video to be fair, I might consider it for future content. In any case as I have the filtered remains I know I haven’t lost much and if there’s any there I will get it at some point, hopefully you’re right and there’s a few grams hidden away for the future. Time will tell on that. My old process used poor man’s nitric leaches to remove base metals and a side benefit of that would be the sulphuric acid would destroy the carbon similar to a wet ashing method preventing it from stealing the gold. I would have gone with that again but I’m out of sulphuric and getting it in the UK has become more difficult. I am working on a method where there is no need to burn the chips at all but rather grind them to fine powdered plastic then simply remove the plastic by sluicing. it will be a long time in the making as I have way too much stuff to get rid of first. My next video is already underway and I expect will take at least a couple of months. Thanks again for your your kind words

[@Reasonist]

I’ve seen between .5g and 1g per 1kg for yields from that type of chip, so I’d say your recovery was awesome. I’m impressed with your board recovery as well👌🏼👌🏼

[@scouseurbanminer5106]

@@Reasonist thanks Reasonist, I don’t know if the result is good or bad, first time ever paying any real attention to DDR1. I’m happy with it as a basis to look at going forward, and now I know what the minimum I should be looking at these boards for future value

[@theonewhowas7709]

i do my own refining as well.. just some reason i like watching these videos.. hehee

[@scouseurbanminer5106]

Thanks for watching theoone hahaha yeah I watch all the precious metal recovery stuff I can find too

[@charlesthompson3816]

I would rerun those ic chips again. I feel like that yield should have been way higher. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@scouseurbanminer5106]

Hi Charles, thanks for watching. I explained to another user that I have no idea what the yield should be for these chips specifically, normally I just dump RAM IC's in with other stuff that needs the same process. What comes out is what comes out. From watching other you tube video's the results vary for these chips. I do keep all my wastes in labelled containers so the filters and remains are still there. I might give it a go and see if I missed much but will have to wait a while, got a few other things on the go at the minute. p.s. Have you any idea what the going rate per kilo is for these types of IC's? Thanks

[@動漫迷-e2m]

I think you're pretty good at it. It's kind of like data ,good job 👍 thanks.

Thanks e2m i appreciate it :)

[@GOLD_FEVER]

Do you live in the usa? If so i would like to ask you to refine some gold for me if possible. It is only about 6 grams but i tried to do the cupell method on it and used bismuth... ended up fully mixing the gold with bismuth and cannot get it back out... So if you want to help me out i would be down!

[@scouseurbanminer5106]

Hi Gold Fever, sorry I live in Liverpool, UK. Shame cos I would like to save that gold for you. If you have an account on the Gold Refining Forum you will be able to find a local refiner who can help you out.

HOW MUCH GOLD IN 100 KG OF CPU COMPUTER AVG .. CAN U MAKE A VIDEO OF THAT

@@palazzo5875 ah I see, I have no idea mate but CPUs vary massively, I could do a video when I’ve saved a stack of them up but it would be a while in the making, I have a couple of other projects on the go already

great video but music very loud and annoying.

[@scouseurbanminer5106]

@@AT-os6nb Thanks AT, sorry if it annoyed you. Do you think it would be better if I lowered the volume down to barely audible and read the text out as narration over it?

Turn the volume down...simple.
