Consumer and workstation desktop motherboards with gold-plated PCIe slots, CPU socket pins, and RAM slots. The Gigabyte ATX AM5 DDR5 Gaming Board v6 contains approximately 732mg of gold per pound, 91mg of palladium per pound, and 9% copper by weight. At current August 2026 market rates, this translates to approximately $2.65 per pound in scrap value.
Gigabyte 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.
At ScrapMetalBuyers.com, we buy scrap circuit boards in bulk from data center decommissions, electronics recyclers, and ITAD companies. We focus on commercial-scale lots of 50 lbs or more. Sean handles every deal personally — no brokers, no middlemen, same-day payment.

The Gigabyte ATX AM5 DDR5 Gaming Board v6 Circuit Board Scrap Value (sixth production revision) is a specialized electronic assembly used across multiple high-value industrial and commercial sectors. 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.
AM5 socket supports AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors (Zen 4 architecture). The socket has 1,718 LGA-style contacts (AMD switched from PGA to LGA with AM5). AM5 boards support DDR5-6000+ memory, PCIe 5.0 x16 for GPU, PCIe 5.0 x4 for NVMe storage, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Gigabyte AORUS boards feature premium VRM designs and high-quality PCB construction.
Sixth-revision boards typically reflect mature production optimization with well-established component supply chains. These boards represent a stable, well-characterized precious metal content profile based on established manufacturing processes. These boards are typically 3–10 years old at current market conditions.
Consumer electronics recycling programs, gaming PC upgrade cycles, and PC gaming café hardware refreshes. AM5 is a current platform with growing scrap volumes as early adopters upgrade.
AM5 gaming boards are typically in good condition. These are current-generation boards that may have working value — evaluate for resale before scrapping.
We buy single boards and bulk lots. Free pickup for 50+ lbs. Same-day payment on approved lots.
