    6% Cpu Usage in games

    I’m tryna run World of Warcraft on my pc and I was sitting at about 20-40 fps in battlegrounds(pvp mode) so I looked in task manager and realized the game is only running on 6-8% of my cpu (cpu based game). How do I make it use more of my cpu to improve performance? It seems counterproductive that you have 100% of a cpu to work with and even the load out but you only use 6-8%, purposefully hindering performance
    Specs:
    Ryzen 5 3600x CPU
    Rx 580 GPU (the game isn’t graphically intensive and I have graphics at the lowest setting)

    I FIXED IT! Let this serve as a guide to anyone in the same position. If you play low end games and hear your cpu fan blasting off or smell burning of dust in my case, clean off your motherboard, dust off your cpu, and clean up thermal pasting spill. Spent 10 hours trouble shooting ON my pc and not IN my pc until I smelled burning. If your CPU has too much dust on it, in order to keep itself from overheating it limits its own capabilities (like in my case, bringing my game CPU % to 3.9% and overall to 6%) Now after cleaning it, my overall CPU usage is at 25% and my game is using 16.9%! This increased my fps from 15 on the lower ends, to not dropping below 90.
