where can you buy gold plated pins compatible with ryzen cpus?

12345678

on mouser there are some that resemble those, but they are not exactly the same,

while googling for "pin grid array gold plated" , I'm not that sure of what I'm looking at, some pins do seem alright, but they are just photos, I don't exactly know if they're alright or not

and there is some sort of shielding, that I'm not sure if it can be easily removed or not

 

on ebay there are ads about scrap pins from cpus, but often they do come mixed, or not straight

But a dead for parts cpu off eBay that’s the same socket

or just rma the cpu

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

They are for DIY gold recyling.

 

LTT made a video about this:

 

They did it again in lukes pc build:

 

not what I was looking for

I was looking if for the components, not how to do that

 

aren't they some sort of standard pins? where are they avaible to be bought?

then do every cpu use the same pins, or there is any difference?

am4 cpus are usually more expensive than some random old cpu from amd

I doubt it.

But you can get dead cpus (or just like 10 pins) off eBay for pretty cheep

Probably a semi-custom part designed to work with the AM4 socket, which is also (as far as I know) a custom part that AMD developed in-house. 

 

You're not going to be able to do much with them anyway though. It's been a while since I've messed with these sockets, but aren't the pins welded (rather than soldered) to the CPU board?
