full system spec? include make and model of the psu
what the gpu temp and usage?
ram/ssd/hdd usage?

what resolution? what game?

If the GPU is being used to its full extent, which is ~90% or more, then the CPU usage is not an issue. The GPU for most applications will run up to max usage, and the CPU stays somewhere lower. Your CPU, especially one that powerful, will not generally run at max usage for gaming. Those low temps are a result of the massive cooler you have installed.

If the GPU is not being used all the way, say 50-60%, then there might be an issue.

Another thing to check, look up gaming benchmarks for your GPU in games that you play. Compare the FPS these benchmarks get to a benchmark you run yourself. You might find that you are getting the proper, expected, FPS for that GPU. If that is the case, the CPU just does not have a reason to be run more aggressively.

i just updated the chip set and it is still the same and my cpu is over clocked to 5.1

depend on the game it might not use 100% of the cpu
run any cpu benchmark test?
