I have been thinking of underclocking it to see if the power usage drops more than the hash rate but its my daughters gaming pc and she hates when I mess with it, but one day I will.

I've played for some time with 12 and 16 core Opterons. You will be in for a disappointment. They behave very strangely indeed. Not much performance difference between 12 or 16 core CPU with similar speeds. The problems are the same as you describe for your AMDs - the shared cache. Also there's the same issue with even/odd cores performance difference that you reported. They also start to eat up power if they heat up - just going from 40 to 50 C you'll see a difference. Go over 55C or 60C and power consumption turns exponential. Intel seems to be really far ahead in power management.
here are 2 benchamrks
i7 4770k stock settings with locked memory 250h using 60 watts 260H
i7 6700k Oced to 46 clock and cash to 45 using 50 watss 300 -330H
my question is are all those benchmark without locked memory?
and witch CPu do you recommend for desktop usage and mining ? (so no xeons)

I thought Stak is now configurable to 0 if you wanted?
I'd also like to know after a day or 3 of mining what the total is at the pool.
What's reported in mine and what the pool is logging are not always the same. That's something I'm concerned more with using closed sourced miners
Just hit around 3900H/s on the 2P EPYC 7601 machine by switching to xmrig. Will try dual 7551's in it hopefully next week. xmrig Monero Dwarfpool Image Testing
@brainbudt - dwarfpool for a long time now.
If you have a smaller pool and a lower hashrate it varies more.
My current hashrate is "Current approx.speed 29.89 khs"
Dwarfpool is 18268KH/s
Monero network is 260765KH/s
You have to remember a few things when looking at miner speed and pool speed:

- Miner dev fee

- Invalid/ rejected shares
As a newbie to all of this ... I have a older LGA1366 box that's my VM/storage machine and a couple X5680 (with AES-NI). It's a 4U SM846, double 1k PS and a bunch of PCI slots. Maybe do something CPU-based alongside something GPU based? This isn't going to compete anywhere near the new stuff, obviously, but is it worth mining on it or just a complete waste of cash/time/effort?
Thanks!
Thanks!
@moxford It all depends how you define worth. If you are looking at mining for fun and to learn a few things, then go for it. If you intend to mine for profit however, the fact you already have hardware is good, but free electricity would be better. If you want to do more than cover your costs, then the value of the cryptocurrency you mine will need to increase in value over time. This is debatable.
Not sure if your X5680 is comparable to the X5675 above, but if so, you are looking at 680H/s from your four CPUs. Punch that number into the dwarfpool profit calculator which you can find here and see...

How much is your power cost KWH ?
When you are mining, power draw would reach close to peak power usage.
Unless it is free power or really cheap like less than 10cent per KWH, there is no or very little profit today.
You are lucky to break even.

I gave up on the xeon phi I was considering purchasng on ebay, so I purchased an AMD Vega 56 gpu and followed Any word on amd vega hash rates? and I'm getting over 1800 H/s and 190W at the wall. Has anyone else tried this? I'd like to reduce the power usage so I can add more Vega 56's.
I did a retest, and now I'm gettin 158w draw. Some are claiming as low as 100w, but I'll continue testing.
