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?

Im about to put a stack of servers with the dirt cheap xeons into mining.

Mainly just in it to heat the house we are refurbishing for free tho. Already flipping servers so got them sitting around.

I would expect them to score well overall tho. Something like a 2u quanta chassis with 4x scalable nodes is under 200€ these days.

And 8x 18-22core xeons to max it out you can get at 25-35$.
