Trimmed Gold RAM Finger Scrap & CPU Gold Fingers – High-Yield E-Waste for Precious Metal Recovery
Buy high-quality trimmed gold RAM finger scrap, CPU gold fingers, ceramic CPUs, and computer RAM scrap for gold recovery. Excellent gold plating thickness. Ideal for e-waste refiners. Contact us for bulk orders. Delivery by air, land & sea worldwide. Standard & express shipment available.
Our premium gold recovery lot combines four of the most valuable e-waste streams for precious metal refiners: Trimmed Gold RAM Fingers, Quality CPU Gold Fingers, Ceramic CPU Scrap, and Computer RAM Scrap. This carefully sorted collection maximizes gold yield per kilogram while minimizing non-precious waste material.
Each component is hand-selected to ensure high gold plating thickness, minimal contamination, and consistent quality. Whether you are a small-scale pin stripper or an industrial e-waste recycler, this lot offers an excellent return on investment.
Product Components & Gold-Bearing Value:
| Component | Description | Gold Content Potential | Recovery Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trimmed Gold RAM Fingers | Edge connectors cut from RAM modules (DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, SDRAM, Server RAM) | Very High (10–25g per kg of fingers) | Chemical or electrolytic stripping |
| Quality CPU Gold Fingers | Gold-plated contacts cut from CPU slots and expansion cards (PCI, ISA, AGP) | Very High (similar to RAM fingers) | Stripping or whole-chip refining |
| Ceramic CPU Scrap | Vintage processors (Intel 486, Pentium, AMD, Cyrix) with gold lids & pins | High (0.8–2.0g per kg of CPUs) | Depopulation + aqua regia |
| Computer RAM Scrap | Whole or trimmed RAM sticks with visible gold fingers & sometimes gold ICs | Moderate–High (varies) | Pin stripping or whole-board leach |
Key Specifications – Gold RAM Fingers:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | Gold-plated copper pads on fiberglass/epoxy substrate |
| Gold thickness | Typically 15–30 micro-inches (0.38–0.76 microns) |
| Trimming | Cleanly cut, no excess PCB material (max 1–2mm beyond fingers) |
| RAM types | DDR1, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, Server RAM, SDRAM, EDO, SIMM, DIMM |
| Condition | No burns, no solder residue, no plastic connectors |
Key Specifications – CPU Gold Fingers:
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Source | CPU slot connectors (Slot 1, Slot A, Slot 2), PCI/ISA/AGP cards |
| Gold thickness | 20–40 micro-inches typical (often thicker than RAM) |
| Cutting | Trimmed from larger boards, ready for stripping |
| Compatibility | Works with most stripping solutions (cyanide, iodine, aqua regia variants) |
Key Specifications – Ceramic CPU Scrap:
| Manufacturer | Models Included | Gold Features |
|---|---|---|
| Intel | 486, Pentium (60-200), Pentium MMX, Pentium Pro | Gold lid + gold pins |
| AMD | Am486, K5, K6 ceramic | Gold pins + often gold lid |
| Cyrix | 486DLC, 6×86 ceramic | Gold pins, some gold lids |
| Others | IBM, Motorola, IDT, NexGen | Varies – always at least gold pins |
Key Specifications – Computer RAM Scrap:
| Type | Included | Gold Value |
|---|---|---|
| RAM sticks (whole) | 128MB – 8GB (for scrap, not functional) | Fingers + sometimes gold IC bonding wires |
| RAM sticks (trimmed) | Fingers already removed | Fingers only (higher concentration) |
| RAM with gold ICs | Some older SIMMs have gold IC leads | Moderate additional value |
Expected Gold Yields (Based on Industry Averages):
| Component | Yield (kg basis) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Trimmed Gold RAM Fingers only | 15–25 g per kg | Highest yield material |
| CPU Gold Fingers only | 18–30 g per kg (varies by source) | Often thicker plating than RAM |
| Ceramic CPU Scrap | 0.8–2.0 g per kg | Lower per kg but valuable per piece |
| Mixed Lot (our typical ratio) | 5–12 g per kg | Depends on proportion of fingers vs CPUs |
Available Quantities:
-
Sample packs: 500g – 1kg (for testing/assay)
-
Small lots: 2kg – 5kg (hobbyist refiners)
-
Wholesale cartons: 10kg, 25kg, 50kg boxes
-
Bulk pallets: 200kg – 500kg
-
Container loads: Full 20ft or 40ft (10–25 metric tons)
Typical Mix Ratio by Weight (Customizable):
| Grade | RAM Fingers | CPU Fingers | Ceramic CPUs | RAM Scrap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Mix | 40% | 30% | 20% | 10% |
| High-Finger Mix | 60% | 30% | 5% | 5% |
| CPU-Heavy Mix | 20% | 20% | 50% | 10% |
| Budget Mix | 20% | 20% | 20% | 40% (more RAM scrap) |
Please specify your preferred mix when ordering.
Quality & Condition – Important Notes for Refiners:
-
All fingers are trimmed, not pulled (clean cuts, no board residue)
-
No paint, no stickers, no excess solder
-
Ceramic CPUs may have missing or bent pins – still counts for weight
-
No plastic/fiber CPUs – we exclude low-yield types
-
No green fiber RAM sticks without visible fingers – already sorted out
-
Material is untested – sold as scrap for recovery only
Recommended Refining Methods:
| Method | Best For | Equipment Needed | Skill Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical stripping (Cyanide-based) | RAM & CPU fingers only | Professional fume hood, cyanide kit | Expert (licensed) |
| Chemical stripping (Acid-peroxide or iodine) | Fingers only | Beakers, hot plate, fume hood | Intermediate-Advanced |
| Aqua regia (whole ceramic CPU) | Ceramic CPUs | Fume hood, glassware, neutralization | Advanced |
| Whole-batch milling + cyanide leach | All mixed together (industrial) | Ball mill, leach tanks, gold recovery system | Industrial only |
Safety Warning:
Gold recovery involves strong acids, cyanide (where used), and heavy metals. Do not attempt without proper training, personal protective equipment (PPE), fume extraction, and legal permits for hazardous waste disposal. We are not responsible for misuse.
