Hello!
I also had trouble with cpu hitting 95C and thermal protection which was cause of Apex Legends switching off.
After system startup I had something like 20%-30% constant CPU usage and now it is more like 0-5% with few 9% peaks.
Temps are now little bit better max 88 C but mostly 75-85 C.
My specs are
i5 4670k, 16gb ram, gtx1060 6gb. Most of the settings in game are low, or off. res is 1920x1080. I get 75+ fps while in transporter, but after I hit ground is more like 90-140 fps.
Simply go to windows taks manager and disable all unwanted aps while gaming in startup tab. Second disable all unwanted services that are singed by other than Microsoft. I had few app services that were opening at startup like adobe update, apple updater, autocad updater, spotify etc. after switching them off now CPU uses mostly 80-90% sometimes hitting 100% and after that my game is not switchin off by itself. Also I setup a custom fan curve on cpu and gpu.
Hope it helps for you aswell.
I have a gtx 980 and a i5 3570k which its the recommended cpu required and its almost all the time at 100% having all the game settings on low , depending on the zone it goes lower sometimes but always above 70%it really sucks. The only solution i found is to lower the hz of my monitor from 144 to 100 and activate v-sync on the game, with that the cpu suffer quite less moving around 60-80% but keep reaching 100% sometimes. Seems to be that my cpu(the recommended one) cant handle the 144 fps without going 100%.
i've said this before in other comments. You have a far to weak cpu for that gpu and will usually result in a 25% bottleneck. you should get at least a ryzen 5 2600 or an least an i7-4790k. I would also heavily recommend 8gb of ddr4 dual channel( 2-4gb sticks of ddr4).
