I own an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor, 64GB RAM at 3200MHz, a 1TB SSD, a 12TB hard drive, and an RTX 2070 Super GPU. I run servers for friends in various games, sometimes multiple at once. At peak usage, I use 40-50GB of RAM but the CPU struggles under intense in-game demands. I’m considering switching to an AMD Threadripper because servers can leverage its cores, though I play modded Stellaris which mainly uses one core. During those sessions with friends, on standard star configurations my CPU stays around 30% utilization, but the game lags and a single core hits its limit. I also can’t overclock this CPU beyond 1.0GHz, so I keep it as-is. I’m curious about acquiring Threadripper cores while still maintaining high single-core performance, or whether a Threadripper setup would suit my needs.

Threadripper and Ryzen CPUs are not suitable for dual CPU setups; they work best individually. The Ryzen 9 3950X offers strong performance with 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock reaching up to 4.7GHz.

Usually dual CPUs are kept for server boards. It's unclear if EPIC supports running on multiple CPUs, but it seems possible. Xeon models can handle multiple CPUs too. The safest choice is a dual system setup.

You're considering either a 3950x or a Threadripper for this job. It's unclear why you'd need more than 64 cores, but a 3950x should likely suffice in your scenario.
