With CPU cores you can be able to mine the cheap coins but those coins will be profitable because of that price value in the chart. You can mine using minergate to mine with the 4 or 8 cores but choose accordingly. It may be slow down computer's other tasks run in your task manager. Best mining with the computer is GPU mining only because it will give a decent profit if you mine it with the multiple GPU cards.
Mining with the windows platform might crashed in the time of power cut but linux will not be crashed at any time.
But GPU mining is noisy ... ;-(
Love the silent of CPU mining with the Verium wallet ! The best One-Click mining wallet , you can easily choose the number of mining CPU-Core .
( Many months without crash under windows 10 )
Enjoy
