CryptoNight - is that algoritm for CPU's? Want to busy my r7 1700. Just for fun.

CryptoNight can be mined on GPU and CPU but specifically yes it is one of few algos where, although GPU will get you better hashrate, it is "ASIC resistant" and so GPU doesn't get a huge advantage. For example mining Monero I get 210 h/s on my CPU and 420 h/s on my GPU.

Use a program like cpu-z to check how much L3 cache you have on your cpu, the higher that is the better hashrate you'll probably get, CryptoNight requires lots of memory and that's how it remains ASIC resistant.

Thanks. I have 16 GB DDR4 and 30 GB free space, but my r7 3.7 did only ~435 H/s on monero instead of 500+, that shows http://monerobenchmarks.info/searchCPU.php . Before it was ~350, but i enabled daemon mode, closed chrome and CPU began to show ~435. Since that i have no idea how to rise H/s on my CPU. Undecided

Closing all background processes will help you get the most hashrate out of your cpu as you know by closing chrome. It could be something to do with which miner you're using but I don't think RAM installed in your pc affects mining rate (especially for CPU). Iirc CryptoNight uses 2mb scratchpad so on my i5-2500k which has 6mb of L3 cache I run 3 threads to get maximum hashes.

Do you use XMR-STAK-CPU? If you do try finding out what your L3 cache is on your processors and divide it by 2, the resulting number is the number of threads I'd suggest trying in the config. Also personally I get best results with no_prefetch set to false and affine_to_cpu also set to false.

Yes, xmr-stak-cpu. My L3 cache is 16 mb, i use 8 threads (0,2,4,...,14). I'll try no_prefetch false, but affline_to_cpu also false? I thought it's number of threads.
Settings, that i used.

Thanks for help.
