Recycle old CPU/mobo/ram?

[Rivendell]

My motherboard recently died (Asrock) H81M-HDS R2.0, but the CPU, RAM and HSF should still be fine:
Intel i5-4670
2x8GB DDR3 1600
Hyper 212 LED

I also have a 5 year old Seasonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze, that was still working fine until the mobo failed to POST. (edit: changed 550w to 520w)

I'm wondering if I just dump the whole motherboard with the cpu, ram and HSF still attached into the big ALBA electronics recycle box will it get recycled properly?


PS: If any bros here have a use for it, I'll be glad to give it to you, but have to meet in the vicinity of Boon Lay MRT.

UPDATE: I have given the parts to a fellow HWZ bro.

why not get a new mobo and build a NAS from this one? It will serve you for another 10 years.

I also have 2x Haswell processor with DDR3 rams as well. bought 2 itx motherboard based on H97 chips (less than $100 each) and repurposed as experimental NAS and soft router accordingly.

I have never tried building a router. Can share more details about your setup?

you read the basic step by steps installing OPNSense

if you are able to do NAS, the router should be also easy for you. a lot of YouTube available to guide you through.
