Hi guys. I need some help setting up mining on my CPU for Litecoins. (Water cooled A8-3850) I can't seem to find a decent step-by-step guide on how to so I'm wondering if someone can help me. Not really sure as to what program to use for it either. (I use CudaMiner through GUIMiner scrypt for my GPUs.)

The LTC hardware guide says the Core 2 Duo T9500 does about 17KH/s I tried CPU mining on my laptop's T9400 (I think it's the same thing with a slightly lower clock speed) and I got like 6-7.. (Laptop GPU does 2)

Hi guys. I need some help setting up mining on my CPU for Litecoins. 

Don't CPU mine Litecoins. CPU mine a coin that can only be CPU mined, such as Primecoin. You'll make more from CPU mining Primecoin than you ever would CPU mining Litecoin.

 

It's easy to setup too. Just follow this thread and use this pool. (It really is the best Primecoin pool that I've come across.)
