Resource monitor doesn't tell you maximum frequency, it tells you current frequency (as a percentage of maximum). In this case your CPU is currently running at 51% of its maximum frequency.

51 under full load?

It says 10% usage, 51% maximum frequency

The processor automatically clocks itself down when it's not doing much in order to save power. While you can disable this feature, there's no practical benefit in doing so.

 

So don't worry about it.

When I was running some games they started to lag and it stayed at 51% the entire time

Also this happens when rendering a animation

Alright, it would help to know what your computer specs are and if this is a prebuilt machine/laptop or no.

unless you are running a 120hz or 144z monitor it is very unlikely your CPU will hit 100% ever.
