Consumer and workstation desktop motherboards with gold-plated PCIe slots, CPU socket pins, and RAM slots. The ASRock ATX LGA1151 DDR4 Board v6 contains approximately 1391mg of gold per pound, 70mg of palladium per pound, and 14% copper by weight. At current August 2026 market rates, this translates to approximately $1.63 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.
