What's the current most optimized cpu miner for Aeon, I'm seeing about 600h/sec on an i7-7700 which seems low with the one i'm using right now.
That's about right, I get 580-630 on an i7 6700 at stock clocks (without locked pages enabled) using aeon-stak-cpu miner which is the best one out there imo. On the other hand my Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0 ghz hits 2150, but it's much better at mining in general.
I also find Ryzen to be very good, all my 1700's run 24/7 @ 3750Mhz/1,25V with stock cooler. Package temp ~65deg, core temp ~55-60deg, around 88 watts (hwmonitor). If all 16 threads are used the speed is constant 2250-2350H. Using all threads affect slightly to ETH mining speed (but not ZEC), thats why I currently use 14 threads with constant speed around 2150H. At 4Mhz the speed of 2150H sound a bit on the low side, it should push ~2400H if the cores do not throttle.
That's set to use 8 threads, with fixed affinity in aeon-stak-cpu miner. It offers the best temperatures and efficiency that way and allows me to use my PC for almost anything else I want at the same time as mining vs using more threads for reduced gains.
