hi all...
ive been messing around with cpu mining on a couple pieces of junk for about a year now...
for now, ive been just looking for things that are brand new, so my junk has a chance in the first week or so...
I have a chance to pick up a couple of old servers for about 250$ total...
1. Dell Poweredge 2950 (2U Server)
Dual (2x4) Quad core Intel E5410 Xeon processors (8 cores total)
8GB DDR2 Ram (Max 64GB Ram)
Dual 150GB SATA hard drives (system supports SAS or SATA drives)
and
2. Dell Poweredge R610 (1U Server)
Dual (2x4) Quad core Intel E5504 Xeon processors (8 cores total)
8GB DDR3 Ram (Max 192GB)
Dual 160GB SAS hard drives (system supports 2.5" SAS and 2.5" SATA drives)
Dual Redundant Power supplies
ive done some fairly extensive research and cant find shit for answers...
my question, what kind of hash rate could I expect out of these two for say, monero, aeon or other cpu coin?
would it be worth it at the end of the day?
thanks
These CPUs would be probably slower than my Xeon X3440 @ 3,2 GHz.
I don't remember hashrate for Monero on my PC, but I did a calculations few months ago and it wasn't able to mine 1 Monero in a year... So you can try only if you have electricity for free.
You can try cpuminer-opt 3.7.x and try to mine some new coins, which use CPU-favour algos.
