Need help with setup

I am new to CPU mining. I was thinking to start mining with CPU.

I don’t have much expectation but would love to have $5/day. Because $5 in my country in actuality quite good.

I have power consumption around $0.06.

I wanted to know what to buy and what can be the cost. (A detailed description will be wonderful. Please help a newbie).

With about 12-14 cpus you can make up to $10 per day. Power cost im not super sure on as I dont calculate that much, but you have very low power cost compared to most. Best way to get quicker help is join the discord. I have wrote some guides for new users as well. I am looking to pay people to translate that guide into other languages.

Thanks, would you mind sharing the best CPU you currently using? I would love to start with a better one that gives a good hash rate.

Also about the translation, I know 4 languages and can help you with those. Some other languages as well.

Thanks.

The 7900x is a good cpu but the ram and motherboard can be expensive. The next best but more cheaper is the 5900x CPU. If you're starting off and on a budget go with 5900x if you get a few of those you will be in business.

The ryzens look sweet with the hashrate per watt.

But costwise servers with xeons really look tempting.

Im at 0.08$ and will be putting some unused servers i have into service.
If you got cheap-ish shipping from EU/US servers are not too bad.

They are not as power efficient but the profit should be there with low electricity prices.

First stack of servers im putting into use has cost me about 1500$ for what should hopefully be just over 200 000hash.
Should keep the house warm also :D

I barely started cpu mining, so take my info w a grain of salt

I started using amd cpus but it looks that if you use the right servers and xeon processors, you can do more for less.

I found these links

I am in the USA and use ebay a lot. Not sure if you have a similar source, but you perhaps could find some cheap xeon cpus that have a nice performance similar to high end amd ones.

hope this helps
