I am curious, I've searched this but haven't really found a straight answer - and asking someone is always better imo.  I have a GPU rig I put together, I'm extremely interested in CPU mining for Crypto night solely - how does it compare in electric against GPU? If you haven't mined GPU, I mean, or anyone who has knowledge on this, will I feel a steep hit in my electric from CPU mining? Does CPU require generally more wattage?  I'm pretty tech savvy, but do not know enough about the basics of how electricity works (in a detailed form, concerning CPUs & electronics in general), actually making me think I should read a book on such.

I guess in short - my question isn't if CPU mining is "worth it," cause according to many people right now GPU mining isn't "worth it," ( and i strongly disagree).  I guess in short my question is, if you believe in the long term value of coins that can be CPU mined such as Monero, is it any cheaper/more expensive/the same as GPU mining?

I guess I imagine I can a lot more easily find spare CPU chips then I can GPU cards ( although there's been a recent influx of GPU stock and availability probably due to declining prices) - but even such, I think it's way easier for me to find CPU parts I could easily put a rig together, but is it going to be more electric like per chip or something?  I also am having trouble fully understanding how to run multiple chips in one computer rig, but there's plenty of resources online on that, that's just me being a little lazy (or burned out haha)

Thanks in Advance

And thanks claymore for making wonderful miners - :-)
