A few things I can think of off the top of my head...
1) Make sure you both have vSync on. This keeps the GPU from wasting power trying to push FPS faster than your monitor can display.
2) If you have 120-144hz displays, set the refresh to 60 instead.
3) If you are overclocked, go back to stock or even underclock. You will be amazed how little power a CPU actually needs to run stably when set just a few hundred MHz below stock.
4) Don't multitask, stream or download while gaming. Check for other background tasks that might be using CPU power.
