CPU being maxed out at 100% in games

In most games that I play (Rainbow Six, Battlefield 1) my CPU (i5-4460) is being maxed out at 100% usage, while my GPU remains at around 70%. I have set the settings to ultra but it does not work. When I look in the task manager, and go to 'Details', the game only uses 20-30% and system idle processes uses the rest, but that's probably because the game is minimized. What can I look into that could be causing this?

a 4c/4t CPU will stay as busy as it can providing maximum framerates with almost any GPU you can install...; alas, you are not going to 'fix it' with changing a setting or tweak....

Once you are unhappy with framerates, then you can consider a complete overhaul to more cores/threads....
