I just watched a 27min video about something that i dont understand, yet it relaxed me!
Airborne
same here
me too
I just wanted to seebthe gold
ha ha ... it had the same effect on me. he's a genius.
I have never been interested in chemistry, but I've watched entire video.

The gold didnt bring too much money for the work but the 3.2 million views did.
Lol 😂
4.2 million now lol
If thrre were only ads...
4.4 Millions Now 😝
4 404 431 now
Learning how the chemistry works was well worth the time. Bravo, my man!
$50 worth of gold in only 50 simple steps!!!
He is selling it for $79.95 on ebay.

That's a different one. Same idea, but uses aqua regia which contains nitric acid.
As a matter of fact, I'm the idiot who bought it.
This video has over a million views now, and the gold bead is worth much more than its weight, lol. I can in fact get double what I paid for it, not that I'm selling. It's still going up.
Poor grammar. NOW who is the idiot?
I can totally see the piece of gold selling for more PURELY from it being on a viral video. If I sculpt a dragon it'd be just a common dragon, but if that same dragon on a 20 million view video it would be like a youtube star :D
I love the way people do these type of vidios on utube. It is a lot of work. Its like a mate showing you what he has been up to in his shed. Somebody who has a good grip of what he is doing. Nice one and thanks
Also it can give a person a better understanding of chemistry. I wish these videos existed when I was in school. It's so much more interesting to see how it happened.
John Boardman i don't want to know what my mates have been up to in their sheds. that's for damn sure
Love this dude , explaining all in a logic manner . Thank you !
Another inspiring Sreetips video! Serious thoughts about finally learning some practical chemistry. Thanks again.
I don't know how I got here.. and I have no idea of chemistry... but I watched the whole video.. ;)
MilMike same
Same here, haha
mee too lol
You're not alone bruh
Me Freaking Too!!!
looks like you also stumbled onto the recipe for mountain dew. congrats
xD xD xD xD xD
Obi Wan Cannabi. Cool, thanks.
Obi Wan Cannabi ytjeyin
toxic hell was out of baja last night so i got regular dew...4:30am im still regreting this decision
Obi Wan Cannabi is that your grand father called Mr cannabis?
Fascinating to watch and I always enjoy seeing the refined gold. 👍
Patience, intelligence and a steady hand. I enjoyed your demonstration.
If you are curious to know how much it's worth. Current gold price at time of posting is : 1152$. 1.5g is 0.0482 Troy ounces. 1152 x 0.0482 = 55.50$.
it's a hobby
Are you sure? He had .3 grams... For 24K (pure, .999+) it's only worth $41.33/gram. Total gold value is $12.40. How many of these did he make? Maybe that's how you got to $55.50...
wait what? its 1.5 grams you answered your own question
are you dumb he said they give 0.3 grams per chip, altogether he had 1.5 grams did you even watch the video?
thats what he said in the beginning u moron
Interesting hobby. I can see your dedication. This was a lot of work. Great video.
ZenoDiac hobby and career
yeah, but with all the time and products, etc i win more money "working"
Well this isn't his job. He also earns money from TH-cam (looking at that view bar) and selling the gold on Ebay. I wouldnt be so sure if i were you.
I don't even know how I came across this video. However I watched it to its entirety. Suprisingly I was entertained. What an art. The sheer discipline and patience and repetition of it all was memorizing. Wonderful video sir.
I found your video very interesting. Not exactly what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it all the same. Thank you. I'll be watching for more of your videos looking forward to seeing them
wow... honestly this is a performance that includes patience, hard work, and a hell of a lot of dedication. it was great to see you do this from start to finish...good job.
Thanks Lucas
Robot A.I. of the future are going to watch this and be super pissed about what you did to their ancestors.
Code them to recycle themselves to make you money 😈
Especially the T 1000.
Another great video, I started buying gold coins and gold scrap as well as silver and sterling silver years ago, and got my young son into it as well, he’s still, now 26 collecting coins. I’ve always been interested in how the chemicals can be used to separate the different metals out, and I don’t completely understand, but these videos are just amazing and help me fight off the urge to do it myself. I you were my next door neighbor, I’d be the most helpful pain in the but ever lol. Also, Mrs Sreetips but be amazing and highly motivated as well, you two seem to be a great team.
your work and precision is remarkable, i hope you expand your work to larger quantities
All I can think of is Breaking Bad.
Breaking CPUs
I'm thinking BEAKER...loooong...but he is frikin good. That's a very pure extraction. Best ever!
No no, Walter White knows what he is doing
Hey, Dipstick! You know that Walter W is a fictional television character, right? If the show lasted longer, he could probably fart rainbow-colored lightning bolts and blow 24-karat gold boogers out his nose.

THOSE PENTIUM PROS ARE RARE YOU KNOW,
He just smashed several of those and those cpus will be worth more that its gold value soon :(
They already are worth more than the value of the gold they contain. I think I paid $18.50 for each. But they only contain 0.3 grams each worth about $12.
sreetips well i just wanted you to know, cuz i need one for my collection
Send me your address and I'll send one to you. Private message please.
sreetips thank you so much!
sreetips message sent, 1h
Regardless of the cost, I did very much enjoy watching the entire video, what a lovely hobby to have
That was fascinating. Thank you for making this video.
"This is not intended as a tutorial."
Gives us exact measurements of stuff to use.
That wouldn't even be nearly enough to repeat the experiment for yourself. There are many other things to consider to perform the experiment accurately and safely. This is why it should not be taken as a tutorial. The measurements serve as no more than a demo
If he wanted to make a tutorial he should wear a lab coat :P. 5/10 people who haven't worked in a lab before would die while doing this anyways. 2 of them, because they would forget to turn on lamina flow xD
Adding H2O2 to the HCl would remind you to turn it on before adding the thiocyanate
I think he had to say its not a tutorial so nobody could sue if they got hurt while following it.
I part of me died when he hit the first P6 chip that led the frequency revolution of the 1990s and became the foundation for the current Core architecture with a hammer. I would have kept the CPUs, they'll be valuable in the future as collector items.
exactly, these cpus cost more than the gold they have and wait some more years and each one will probably be more than 100 bucks
Wow! Amazing to see chemistry at work. Surprising how involved the process is. Thanks for sharing.
th-cam.com/video/w86rotpPU1Q/w-d-xo.html
that was thouroughly entertaining and fascinating. thanks for posting.
Neat, that was fun to watch. I kept waiting for a voice to yell in the background, "honey, have you seen my mother's casserole dish?" @9:12
I buy those at yardsales for a few bucks. They are very tough and work well. My wife would not be happy if I took here's to use for my refining projects.
This is the best comment!!
I did this, it took me many hours to get everything together. But it does work pure Gold.
Nice.
Love your technique. Knew you were gonna get close to your expected yield post-refining but to think that it was spot on 1.5g is amazing.
Thank You Master for the great video! :) A real professional. Good job!
I'd hate to see the headline "Dozens Killed After Misunderstanding Warnings on Get Rich Quick Video"
The chemicals involved in this are no joke... This is not something I would try at home.
Warnings are posted repeatedly about the dangers so if it did happen it there is no way he would get in trouble.
Absolutely lethal...
lol
Chris with the win! Lol
I don't think he's doing this to make money. I think he's doing this simply because he can and he enjoys doing it. Like how some people who are not artists would sometimes draw stuff because thay can and its fun to them. It's called hobby.
Well said, thank you!
Like George W. Bush...for example.
...and more money is generated by doing you tube video's - as a permanent income because the videos continue to be watched with more subscribers.
THIS IS THE WAY TO MAKE THE MONEY, not the small amount of gold.
Few people could be bothered to go through and demonstrate this experiment, its too long and toxic.
I mean just look at those plumes of green chlorine gas ! Its a miniature chemical weapons facility called a lab.
The money comes from TH-cam views
i know that, im gamer and now im get job on development game, sometime i say for my self "this is a job?"
The single most valuable tip that I learned from watching this video...
@ 11:40 How to remove filings off your magnet by first covering it with a sheet of plastic.
I was checking out info about the upcoming intel 8th Generation CPUs and somehow i landed here.Such a great video! Thanks alot sreetips! Totally Impressed!
Thank you!
It's labor-intensive, yes, but it's a beautiful display of chemistry in action.
I predict you got an A+ in chemistry
You have came a long way! Love all your videos!
THANK YOU for not ruining the video with background music.
I feel how my heart is breaking when he is smashing these Pentium PRO's with the hammer 😟
As a computer enthusiast, it's truly sickening to watch
i feel with you
Same here bro... I would love to have some old ceramic CPU or even Pentium Pro. The oldest CPU i have is Pentium II
Pentium Classic 75MHz-166MHz P54C chips are the easiest way to ceramic packaging. There are 200MHz non-MMX variants that use the later PMMX organic PGA packaging that was also migrated to the Celerons with 128KB L2 cache based on Deschutes (forget the codename and too lazy to google it). You can find rare all ceramic Pentium w/MMX 166MHz and 200MHz variants, but 166MHz are the most common of the two. You could go for the Cyrix 6x86/AMD K6-x, Motorola 680x0, or DEC Alpha chips if you want to rescue more eccentric parts from scrappers. Maybe the early PPC 601/603 are also on ceramic, but use a flip-chip design so no gold heatspreaders. If you're going to go Pentium Pro, go for the 200MHz 512KB or 1MB L2 variants. A Pentium II Overdrive 333MHz is also an option to max out the Socket 8 platform, but are expensive at $200-400USD per CPU. The 1MB L2 models are easy to spot because of their black packaging material. Happy Hunting!
I won`t use them in working computer configuration. I think about making shelf with glass cover for all CPUs that i have. I don`t know where in Bulgaria I can find electronic waste, and I just can`t afford to spend money for old CPUs. I saw some awesome old tech in FreeGeek in Vancouver from when LTT were there, but I can`t go there :( Someday if I go to Vancouver on holiday I will check FreeGeek for some awesome stuff.
18 bucks for low quality all the way up to 50 bucks for 18k to 24k for that gold. now how much did all your chemicals cost?
The amount of chemicals used in this video exceed the price of 1.5 grams of gold. (Excluding the amount required to purchase the CPU's) So in essence it costs him money to collect the gold from the CPU.
I'm glad I read both your posts, I know nothing of the process, while watching it I determined that it was a waste of time and money. Even if he gets them for free, which I do.
Aaro August Please send me all your free CPUs I'll refund the postage.
my god, whats happening!!
i watched the whole video n even read all the comments, this video is hypnotic man!!
I watched the whole video, it was a painful workout for my patience! But I really like, respect and appreciate what you went through to produce this awesome demonstration! And when I said painful, it in no way implied any negative intent for your excellent video quality, just my ADHD.
❤️👌🤯
from the gold you have made 60 dollar but from the video you have made almost 2k... bravo that called business
I don't think he's doing this to make money. I think he's doing this
simply because he can and he enjoys doing it. Like how some people who

MunchNPlay #restinpices
I know what you mean! I never took Chemistry so it's all Greek to me. I know of a salvage yard that sends circuit boards through a shredder and heat it up in a gas furnace where all of board is consumed. They use different anodes in a process like the reverse of electroplating. I guess that it's not so time consuming, but likely has a similar amount of toxic products.
This video was awesome. You have some true skills.
Thank you Mr. White! Seriously though, great explanation, very interesting.
Wow you did a ton of work holy moly!
I am not sure speed wise and cost wise if this is worth it, I watched a few techniques to extract gold from chips, and everyone has their own methods! And they all use some form of Acid and fume hood, just not everyone is so extensive on testing gold in the solution at every step! But I do have to give you marks For your take on this attempt! I myself have lots of items with gold on it and just browsing the best ways! :)
-At the beginning of the video he states. "My only concern is with
making this video that demonstrates how it can be done with NO NITRIC
ACID". Cause acids are bad.
Life Happened #reading
Well, he did use two other acids, so it wasn't because "acids are bad", it's just an alternative way of doing it without the nitric acid.
Is nitric worse than hydrochloric?
Modern Day Gold Prospector.
PRETTY AMAZING THE WORK THAT YOU DO MY FRIEND!!
Thank you for your time :)
Thank you!
Thank you for a well produced and subtitled video of "whats possible" , you did exactly what you set out to do
First class chemistry!
chemistry is nuts. that's the smartest thing i can think of right now.
I like your series of videos and with a background in chemistry I understand (mostly) what you're doing. Here in Australia anyone would struggle to purchase even simple glassware. When I worked for a lab supply company, the police stringently monitored all sales and purchasers had to sign end user licence agreements (EULA's) stating that the equipment would not be used for clandestine drug manufacture.
The few who would use it for illegal activity ruin it for those who have a legitimate purpose.
Lol, and then China just runs ships full of drugs over there and the paid-off politicians look the other way.
that was awesome! thanks for taking the time to do that. :)
I cannot believe I just sat through a video on the slowest gold recovery on the planet...I could have driven to Alaska and panned some faster...haha....labor intensive...
that's what looks like hours of work for 25-50 dollars worth of gold
good lord, lol
you'd have to do this on such an absurd scale for it to be worth your time and resource cost
Ronan * with all the youtube money i think it's well worth it .
lol
There's more gold in recycled electronics by weight than there is in gold ore.
Possibly, but it's a lot harder to get out.
its so sad seeing these get used for scrap, i paid $80 for 4 of them to collect and use them for vintage pc builds
I got a box full of old processors ..where can I sell them ?
Mail them to me.....
Google "sell CPU scrap". There are companies who do this profesionally and will buy old CPUs and circuit boards. They usually pay by the pound and different items are worth more (based on gold content). But you really do need a lot, not just one or two. You really want Pentium Pro or earlier (286,386,etc).
Akash Mishra
how many kids you want?
Just finished the video had no idea you could use a blow torch. I did not think it got it to the proper temperature. Learn something new every day
Your gonna need all that gold and more to pay that power bill. Omg the hood is awesome, everything is awesome yet it takes allot of time, knowledge and patience to do this. After understanding the how is one thing but to watch it is different! Thank you! Great channel. Your the sharpest knife in the drawer! For me I feel that time is the most precious commodity and I would never be able to do what you do! I'm jealous but thank you.
Wow' you have a lot more patience than I do. Nice job.
Are you a doctor?

3h30 pm, i just closed down my restaurant forever and starting my business tonight!
You're smart.
At $50-60 per chip, you're going to be at a net loss, minimum of -$125 every time when you include the cost of chemicals and equipment.
Haters want to hate, underground Science lovers relate. This is awesome, I've already watched three videos. Can not wait to view more. Thanks for taking the time to break it down.
Fantastic experiment, I'm sorry it was much ado about nothing. However, I'm always fascinated watching you work. Your knowledge of metallurgy and chemistry is astounding.
Actually if you use the same solution over and over again I heard that the same solution can hold 300g of metal in it, so if you just kept reusing the acid-bleach maybe add a little more bleach each time, the cost of materials goes down to practically nothing.
wow that looks dangerous!!
This is Rocket science
im grateful for the lesson and wonderful video!😀👍
thanks for the video. it was really interesting and well explained.
i think you taught people more about making deadly gases than recovering gold ;) lol
WW2 Truth 4chan
WW2 Truth lollolol
Or actually could have prevented someone from unexpectedly poisoning themselves.
Piece of cake! I will look for this CPUs and get rich now!
Are you rich?
HAHAHAH
your absolutly right when you said "its alot of work for a small yeild".well done
Me too...that is fascinating. Looks deadly though!
I've had 1000's of these CPUs in my lifetime. Man I wish TH-cam was around in 1990 or someone taught this in science class
DesertMarineZ it would have taken 1,120 of these cpus to make 1oz of gold.
@@Unojoservir yeah and? The guy said he had 1000s of these in his lifetime, you calling him a liar?
@@Unojoservir not so ,
@@Unojoservir thought they were yeilding a 1/3 of a gram of gold each, and he's not even really recovering any of the bonding wires, because he's not pulverizing the ceramic. So, more like 60 to yield an ounce, maybe 50 per ounce using proper tech like Successful Engineer
As a collector of processors watching this breaks my heart, but I also love chemistry videos.
Great gold recovery video BTW!
what a fantastic video! i had no idea their was that much gold in a pro processor
The Pentium Pro has the highest gold content of all CPUs. That is why I chose it for this experiment. Thanks for watching.
Amazing its just soothing to pour the waste into the drain or better yet a drinking water ressavoir
Wouldn't it have been easier and cheaper to just go to Alaska and dig up whatever gold is left there?
Not when Gas is $7 gal a sixpack of coke is $12 a beef $14 lb forget seeing bacon. You hunt forage for your food or grow a garden for 4 mos. there are few roads so you have to make your own so you need a dozer, and the only entertainment is what ever vid games / movies you have. cell service is extremely limited
+dadrules714 seven a gal? Where you live at
+The Acuate well still that's high
+The Acuate also y u so salty
Kojak0 not everyone lives near to alaska
Id love to see you do this on a big scale, even like 1000 CPUs would be interesting.
so 300 ounces of gold.
Chris Crissey 300 grams i believe it'd be. Can't remember the exact amount he used in this now.
Todd Pattison China has started going bonkers with environmental regulation in the last few weeks. Raw material prices there have gone up a shit load as a result particularly in the electronics industries but even for cardboard making. Don't know why it's started happening but it has.
China has been raising export prices for all goods since late 2000's with massive currency manipulation since 2010. Environmental regulations are not particularly real in china, yes they exist, but just another hurdle to jump through and generally just a small fee, if any. . I recently had a 2000 kilowatt incinerator installed in guangzhou and didn't even require a permit. China wants to appear environmentally conscious but it wants more than anything to preserve manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing = terrible for the environment, china chooses manufacturing over protecting the environment 10 times out of 10.
cool to know how to do it.. Thanks for taking the time.
I don't usually comment on u tube things but have to say I found the whole video really good very interesting I watched it till the end well done if they only taught you that at chemistry I would have paid more attention at school
You lost me at "distilled water".
I was kidding..lol...Man How do you know this stuff ??It is so complicated to do...and how does the gold just float in water???..I thought it would settle much faster...Your IQ must be through the roof !...Matt.
Massachusetts Matt. hey uhm. is it posible to just scrape off the gold when the gold is easy to scrape off of the ceramic?? and take out the plastic chunk out as you scrape the cold off.. after the bottom part is cleaned of course because cpu has both side with gold
daimon hellstrom yeah same here makes me want to start learning more of chemistry..
But my point was if its posible to slide off the (foil) state of the gold off of the plastic and get rid of most plastic but i dont know if that would be a good idea
daimon hellstrom ohh ok cool thanks for the info ^-^ and merry christmas cheers
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Comment-GOLD...
We cant see the face on the video, but somehow i think Walter White is behind this...
had same feeling XD
Why Is my name thrown into the mix? Lol
Awesome bloke. Love your work.
Look at the process just to get a glimpse of gold , well done
Dude knows his shit...
And his gas
verry nice but way too much work... 😭😕
No, the whole thing is actually very smart. Obviously not for making money, but for processing materials and reclaiming resources used in other things it's genius. You never know when these processes will be needed for something. Medicine would be impossible without this kind of knowledge.
If you had a way to do a large batch of them, and access to the reagents/chemicals why not?
cvamurfreesboro lol
this is actually a great video and very detailed in examples and explanations. i love it..i love shows about how things can be separated and extracted. once all these materials are bonded together to make a cpu, it almost seems impossible to separate them again. all these steps were discovered by human beings at some point. and all these steps can naturally happen in nature. were just cracking natures natural code slowly
Thank you, glad you liked the video Gary.
Nice vid! I must admit being a little tempted as I have 360 QC Xeon procs sitting on a shelf in the other room...
What do you do to safely dispose of the large amount of chemical waste you have produced?
Probably chuck it behind the fence of his house...
Every drop gets treated before disposal. Nothing is ever poured down the drain or on the ground.
Woodrow Monte
H
How do you dispose of or neutralize the chemicals? Are all the metals and chemicals inert upon disposal or maybe you use a service to dispose or have a massive bunker of plastic barrels containing crazy shit?
I put gold refining waste into my stock pot. There, trace amounts of precious metals "cement" out as a fine black powder on to pieces of copper (please see my stock pot videos) as the copper goes into solution. Then, the resulting acidic copper solution is transferred to my waste treatment bucket that's full of iron. Here, the copper "cements" out as harmless metallic copper powder and the iron goes into solution. The copper powder is disposed of. The acidic iron solution is siphoned off into a third bucket where it is treated with sodium hydroxide. The iron precipitates out as a metal hydroxide. These hydroxides are filtered out and dried, then disposed of. The caustic solution (filtrate) is then neutralized to pH7 with swimming pool pH down, and disposed. Nothing toxic is ever poured down the drain or in the dirt.
Awesome. I worked for a pharma research and development company and set up a pilot plant with them. I was new to the field and couldn't believe what we were dumping without treatment. I can say that the pipes leading to the main sewer line must have been very clean. I had a basic idea of what you were doing with it from your video, but a lot of that stuff is beyond my realm of knowledge so I was curious if you just kept the buckets or not. Thanks. Apparently a lot of people are interested in this stuff as you have a ton of views and comments from this one video.
Why not just pour it all down the bathroom sink?
Your wife allows for all of these chemicals laying around?
You are a kind-hearted and noble person, I respect you so much, and you deserve to raise my hat to you, O honor, honor.
The hard part is finding a place that has a funrance that gets to a high enough temperature to return it to it's natural state of gold.. . it comes out close to 24k. This is very real and does work to anyone watching . there is a proper name for this process but I forget what it is called
Shoulda added the "Ta DA" low res sound effect at the end of the video when you pull out the gold bead.
if those CPU works they're now worth more as a collectors item then the gold price.
grapsorz theyre 30$ on ebay
even if you find them that cheap. you lose money after the chemicals and time is deducted. you get 0.5g normally MAX 1g and 1g is like 36$ right?
Yep.
they're not valuable, fortunately. so you can build old pcs for cheap still
GraveUypo I would do like that one ncis where the guy had a old computer frame but with new tech inside it
Thanks for the explanation.
I imagine these processes will work well with ores; stripping out individual metals one at a time. Good video
how many expend in chemical materials for 1.5 Grs of gold ?
Way more than the gold is worth
That's important to understand, maybe in big volumes of matherials is more convenient......
Ok, so HCL and Peroxide. Thought from the title you were suggesting HCL and Chlorine bleach. You'd have cleared a fairly large segment of the uninformed diy population with that suggestion.
The experiment was to show that the gold can be recovered and refined without using nitric acid. Instead, I used bleach and HCl to dissolve and refine the gold.
You didn't watch the video did you?
It's a really educational video. Keep going.
Thank you!
He said right up front it wasn't worth the effort - he was proving a point - point taken.That gold is staying right where it is.
