Consumer and workstation desktop motherboards with gold-plated PCIe slots, CPU socket pins, and RAM slots. The ASRock ATX LGA1151 DDR4 Board v2 contains approximately 1006mg of gold per pound, 43mg of palladium per pound, and 11% copper by weight. At current August 2026 market rates, this translates to approximately $1.93 per pound in scrap value.
ASRock is known for high-quality manufacturing standards, which often means higher precious metal content in their PCBs compared to generic alternatives. The gold plating on edge connectors, CPU socket pins, and high-speed signal traces is thicker and purer than consumer-grade boards, making them more valuable per pound at the refinery.

Understanding where these boards come from and how they were used is critical to accurately assessing their scrap value — boards from certain industries carry heavier gold plating, more complex BGA packages, and higher-value precious metal profiles than visually similar boards from other sectors.
ASRock LGA1151 boards support Intel 8th and 9th Gen Core i3/i5/i7/i9 processors. DDR4 DIMM slots support up to 64GB of memory. The boards include PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, M.2 NVMe support, and 1GbE LAN. ASRock is known for value-oriented designs with competitive feature sets at lower price points than ASUS and Gigabyte.
This is the second production revision, incorporating component substitutions and minor layout changes from the original design. Second-revision boards often reflect component sourcing changes that can slightly alter precious metal content — gold finger plating thickness may vary from the base model. These boards are typically 7–14 years old at current market conditions.
Consumer electronics recycling programs, office PC refresh cycles, and school computer lab upgrades. ASRock has significant market share in the budget segment, making these boards widely available in the scrap market.
Mainstream desktop boards from office and home environments are typically in good condition. High volumes are available from ITAD companies processing corporate PC refreshes.
We buy single boards and bulk lots. Free pickup for 50+ lbs. Same-day payment on approved lots.
