Why is that when i start a game my gpu usage is 5% and my cpu usage is 100% or around 100

What CPU, GPU, and game are we talking about here?
Different games will have different requirements for both CPU and GPU

Cpu : i5 10400f Gpu: rtx 3060 12gb
Games are Roblox,Valorant

#

i get like 90 fps on roblox and 130 in val

#

And my fans are about to blow up when i'm in game

Open up HWiNFO in sensors-only mode, run any of those games, take screenshots of the HWiNFO window (specifically CPU and GPU sensors, but just screenshotting everything would be fine too)

Is this a prebuilt PC, or did you assemble it yourself?

There doesn't to be anything wrong per se, but you may want to consider opening up the computer and clean the heatsinks and repasted for the CPU

#

It's on the upper end of the thermal range, which may explain the fans being audible, if the fan ramping up is the CPU

#

Of course, stock fans are usually pretty loud in the first place when loaded...

Also you can check if it's the CPU or GPU this way:

#

Try running the Stability > CPU test with the default settings. Eventually the CPU fan will ramp. If you can hear it, you got the source.

#

If it doesn't, then try the 3D Adaptive test. See if you can hear the GPU fans ramp

#

Once you have determined the source of the fan noise, if you have already re-mounted the cooling after a repaste

#

I'd probably consider either: replacing the CPU cooler entirely (make sure it works with your likely specialised board), or replacing the video card

#

Depending on the source

Time to decide what to do with the CPU fan then
