Thanks for answering guys, After doing some discussion with local community miners on my country looks like it's still good to go with GPU, Really thanks for answering my question and sorry if i can't reply your post one by one, Thanks and Will lock this topic now.

It's easier to implement an ASIC for a GPU algo than a CPU algo.
It's usually only a matter of time and the algo's popularity.

A well designed CPU algo would be unprofitable or nearly technically
impossible to develop an ASIC.

Ethereum is unique, it's a GPU algo but has properties that make ASIC too expensive.

For GPUs i can say:

1. They can be dead on arrival
2. Dead after a short time or
3. Run nearly forever. (Not the Fans)

I have never had any failed CPU. But mine dont run hot. The AMD will be hot.

I would go for the CPU and add GPUs later.

Buying a 4GB might not be well for the future. Not flexible.

RX570 is 30MHs, not 20. So it's 120MHs for 4 cards.
And RYO on RX ? no from what I see

For CPU mining Monero is good and for GPU mining RYO is good.

My 120 gpus have been running for 3 years, only maintenance is fan and riser replacement.

With the new XMR Algorithm its been proven several times that mining on CPU is more profitable than GPU, if I were to go into mining monero fully and only I will build my rigs with CPU only, far more better than using GPU
No mate, I writed GPU For ethereum and not monero but i plan to mine Monero with CPU (Ryzen 5 3600), The main question was about life expetancy on each hardware that was more durable.

Hi guys, I have a question about mining some altcoin. So i planning to try some mine a coin but still confused which one it's more profitable especially for Life Expectancy for each hardware (GPU And CPU).

After Doing some searching and research before i confused to choose Between GPU And CPU. I want to mining ethereum with GPU (RX 570 4GB) 20mh/s++ and for CPU i want to mine monero (Ryzen 5 3600) 5,000 H/s++.

Here some details.
-My country electricity cost around $0,05/kWh
-My country have mid temperature around 20°-27°
-My budget was around $500++ for next month
-Which one more durable?

With assuming i can buy 4 RX 570 With $80 Each (I buy secondhand GPU, really hard to find the new one) and buying PSU, motherboard, cpu and ram later did you think it's good decision (With cost around $500-$600)? Already see some alternative too like radeon RX 5700 XT But it cost more on my country, around 1.5x-2x from other country price.
By mining it i can get around 80mh/s with profit around $0,50/day (Ethereum) from calculating on website below.

https://whattomine.com/coins/151-eth-ethash?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=80.0&p=600.0&fee=1.0&cost=0.05&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

And for buying Ryzen 5 3600 from my calculating before it's give more low profit, only $0,22/day (Monero) but costing less than GPU (Around $400-$500).

https://whattomine.com/coins/101-xmr-randomx?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=5000&p=150&fee=0.0&cost=0.05&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

An important point that I want to ask is to prioritize life expectations which one it's have more durable and profitable for a long term? I read the GPU Can easily broke while CPU not (By assuming use some good CPU Cooler from Noctua, Deepcool, etc) Already try to search this but didn't find good answer, Maybe you guys have experience with this?

Sorry for my bad english and Thanks!
