Duel CPU/ Server and gaming pc combined

[Buddy312]

I currently have a AMD Ryzen 7 1800x cpu, with 64gb ram running at 3200mhz, a 1tb ssd, 12tb hard drive, and RTX 2070 Super gpu. I host servers for my friends in a number of games, and sometimes a number of those servers at a time. I use 40-50gb of ram at max but the problem is my cpu which can get maxed out when things are happening ingame. I was thinking of upgrading to a amd threadripper since the servers can use the cores, but I play modded Stellaris, which mainly uses only a single core. When i play that with friends, on the bigger standard star sizes my cpu will sit at around 30% but the game will lag and a single core will be at max. I also can not overclock this cpu, more then .1 GHz so i leave it unoverclocked. I would like to get the cores of threadripper and still have high GHz for single core gaming, so if i can use two cpus, or if a threadripper could work for this please let me know.

Threadripper and ryzen cpu's cannot be ran in dual cpu configurations only single. The ryzen 9 3950X could do really well for your use case, it has 16 cores and 32 threads and has a boost clock of up to 4.7ghz.

Generally dual CPU's are reserved for server boards. Not sure if EPIC can be ran multi CPU but Id guess it could, Xeon's can be ran multi CPU. Your best bet is dual systems.

Either a 3950x or a threadripper would do the trick more than well here. Not sure why you'd ever need to go over 64 cores then :p. But in your case a 3950x would probably do.
