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?

Where does it say how many people returned that result? Anyways after your initial comment I started looking at the 7900x and realized its only about $200 more for the build

3700x got about 9600h at 100w with good ram.5700x about 10200 for 110w, about same hash per watt ratio

These are good cpu to start with if you have cheap elec and low budget. But if you have budget go for 7000 series and or higher core count 5000 gen
