What happened to server board prices surely we are not including them in 2 socket mother boards. Just curious as ive been hoarding quite a bit might have to find a different outlet for those

I would imagine that the drop in gold prices had an impact on a lot of those items. I'm wondering if the refiners that are buying from boardsort are reporting a lower than expected recovery per board type and are not paying much more for a multi-socket board compared to a single socket.

Ya, they should at least give a heads up when they change up things like that. A good portion of my income comes from boards I sell them, and I pay for mine, so I'm negative 5 cents a pound on those metal socket boards. Glad I didn't have a build up of metal socket server boards, I'd be even more upset.

You can't predict what the markets are going to do with reasonable accuracy because of the number of variables that can change instantly that will affect the market prices. Remember that for gold, it's price is indexed to the US dollar, and if the dollar is strong, gold will go down. If the dollar is weak, gold will go up.

The change in the price of gold is fine. My concern is server boards have more gold that multi socket motherboards. Maybe there are exceptions but mostly server boards are more valuable. No biggie boardsort will get the rest of my boards just not server boards
