I have 5 dual xeon E5-2690 (2x 20MB so 40MB cache total) running Ubuntu and wanted to give mining a shot. (have free electricity)
I tried monero and get close to 1,000h/s from each server running 20 threads each for a total of 5,000h/s from all servers. Is that good?
Tried xmrig and stak-cpu with same results (large pages enabled)
Am i better off mining a different coin like zcash or Aeon?

Thank you for any suggestions

I think your best option would be to continue in XMR after all you got a very good mining power considering that CPU's are a little old

I tried mining XMR with an i7 3630QM and reached close to 80h / s with the 8 nucles

Laptops don't exactly have great cooling and your particular model of CPU isn't the most efficient either. Xeons and Opterons actually.mine pretty well for the price (you can find Opterons for sub $30 used but mobos are a little more), and so that's why most people don't buy more modern CPUs just for mining.
