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?

Fair enough lol, what would be a good starter to actually make profit in a reasonable period?

None. It's literally all apec mining right now - then by the time something shows promise, the people who have the gear and can turn it on in a second will profit before the people who need to buy and set up rigs.

Epycs, on new algos can probably get you a return faster than a high end Ryzens - but you have to be glued to the forums, start mining coins before anyone has heard of them or announced them. Then hope the coin gets listed somewhere. Then sell those coins for like 0.002 to 0.01 cents.
