I have i7-7800X CPU @ 3.50GHz

Trying to see which CPU miner is best for lyra2z... anyone know...? I tried 4way and AES-avx2. they seem to get the same KH and KH/s.
For aes-sse42, it seems i get lower.

From personal test, it seems like aes-avx2 is way to go. can anyone confirm? also, what would be safe CPU temperature for CPU mining?

AVX2 is the way to go, 4 way does nothing for lyra2. You can also try reducing the number of threads, it might improve cache
performance. The cooler the CPU the better. Make sure the fan is at 100%, it's cheaper to replace a worn out fan than a burned out CPU.
