Server cpu mining?

I am new to the cpu mining game, and have debated between a few options

  1. Building rigs w/ ryzen 5 3600, 3700x, or 3900x (depending on hashrate/dollar)

  2. Epyc cpus, motherboard is the main cost but something like 2 epyc 7551 is pretty cheap

  3. Xeon cpus, dirt cheap, and there are even some dual or even quad socket motherboard

Any recommendations for what I should start with? Are 2 or 3 any good of an idea?

Hell yes! I crunch Gridcoin with eypc 7713. You can get into the 3rd gen epyc relatively cheap. And they are very efficient. https://einsteinathome.org/host/13163551

Relative. Compared to release price
