Dual channel RAM will help with "CPU" bottlenecks, what type of RAM are we talking about (DDR4/5 and what speed?). What kind of storage are you using? Is resizable BAR enabled in the BIOS? High framerates but weird long pauses can also be storage related if you are doing all of this on a slow SATA SSD/spinning drive depending on where your drives are installed? I also agree with the poster who indicated watch out for bloaty programs that peg system resources at inopportune times.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

It’s DDR4 at 2133MHz
Oof, yea I'd say looking at a dual channel kit of faster RAM would be worth your time, something like this 16 gb (8x2) PC3600/CL16 kit is just $50: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X8DVDZZ
have you tried putting energy settings to high performance, and in advanced min processor state up, to get constant max frequency?
would also help if we knew what game
No.
I have a 12400f with rx6800, it's working perfectly, it depends on the game but for example at 1080p in spiderman miles morales gpu utilization was 80-90%
I had stuttering with a 12400 and a 4070 that went away completely when I popped in a 12900K.
An average of 150fps with a 4060 at 1080p means you're not struggling, that card is being used pretty well, no your processor is not bottlenecking since a 4060 isn't even that powerful, it's a low-mid end card in 2023. The only issue here is your RAM being at 16GB since Windows takes like 25-40% of that depending on what motherboard and what stuff your Windows came with. I recommending getting 1 more stick of the same RAM.
The thing is that my GPU’s usage is about 25% in game, why ??
It entirely depends on your situation. If you're playing an AAA game at 1440p, your GPU will go up to 100% utilization meanwhile your processor might stay at about 40%. If you're playing something like a simulation game or say Minecraft, your processor will shot up to 100% meanwhile your GPU might stay at like 30% or 70%
Bottlenecks are on every computer, you just gotta tweak to balance everything out if you want to use everything at it's full capability. Otherwise just play how you want and forget about the bottlenecks with the current components you have. This is why I own a 13900k but a 4060 Ti, although I want a 4080 or a 4090 they are far too expensive currently, so I bought this graphics card at the moment just to substitute my old 1660 Ti.
And how can I get it more used in performance mode
