Coin/Algo: Alloy / cryptonight-alloy
How would I determine optimized settings? I guess I should see what I get on CN v7 to see if it's close to that 900 number. any suggestions of coins to try? Sumo?
Oh. Alloy is a harder variant of CN Heavy. You shouldn't mine CN-Heavy or CN-Alloy with CPUs, since their drop of hashrate in comparison to CN ist enormous, whereas GPUs aren't affected in the same way. CN-Heavy and CN-Alloy are tailormade for GPUs.

Consider to mine a CN-Lite coin with your CPUs. You may reach around 2700 H/s with CN-Lite (Aeon, Turtlecoin) or about 1300 H/s with CN-Fast (Masari).

If you want to mine CNv7, why not Monero?

Sumo is back to ASIC friendly original CN. It's absurd to mine an ASIC coin with CPUs.

I didn't know that about AMD FX Piledriver dies. Your response is very informative. Thank you for that.
No problem
