Gpu overheating.

[LUIGI MALATESTA]

My new gpu is overheating and the vram is burning. Could it be an adapter i used for a 6 pin psu connector to a 16 pins connector on the gpu? Is my gpu scr*wed? im running out of troublshoot possibilities on my own, any well meant help is welcome. Like what in this game in particular is demanding for a gpu Tº wise?

I miss google too bro

It is demanding since it is in a new graphics engine, and it has many visual things, but it is not that it requires a top GPU to move the game.

How many pins does your GPU have? Obviously it has to be connected to whatever the input requires, from what I understand you have only 6 pins used but are there any left over?

GPU model ?

[LUIGI MALATESTA]

My tº reaches 75 Cº on a winter day here, at less than 10 Cº. My GPU is an intel Arc a580. Btw the resolution on cs2 is like 1366 x 768 x 60 hz. I use an adapter that divides the 6 pins output of the psu, into 16 connectors for the GPU

gpus have fail safes anyway and its capped at 89 degrees and idles at 50 degrees, its just what they do dont even stress

It took me 2 seconds to find info on google :

Being a dual-slot card, the Intel Arc A580 draws power from 2x 8-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 175 W maximum.
Does your PSU have 16 pins connector ?

Thanks.

I am not so certain about every GPU,mine if not used sits at about 40 degrees,in cs2 gets to 50 and in un-optimized games or heavier up to 53 degrees,failsafe is at 75.Gigabyte Gtx 1660 Ti 6GB.

Some dude posted video with your GPU and CS 2 .
And results are not good :
GPU - 66 C*
Vram - 78 C*
Also game is buggy while playing with freezing and weird colours at 130 FPS .
With other games works fine .

stop running unlocked framerate ...

i don't have any performance or overheating issues, that means i'm right and everyone who disagrees with me, are wrong.
i run cs2 with GTX 1080 in 1440p and i get solid 60fps, no stuttering, no lag, no overheating. my GPU usage is only 20-30% while playing and temp with hot weather is 45c or below while playing cs2.

running unlocked framerate is equivelant to driving your car in 1st gear only, revving engine to the max and using clutch only to regulate speed .. and then wondering why engine is overheating, clutch is smoking and wearing out so fast.
cars are not suppose to be driven like that, just like computers are not suppose to run games with unlocked framerate.
unlocked is for stress testing and/or benchmarking only, not for gaming.

but by all means, disregard my advice and keep frying computers. it's your PC, not mine.
even my 20+ year old laptop with win xp is still working flawlessly. it has only 40gb HDD, yet it still works fine. never reinstalled, never formatted, never changed any hardware. only thing i've done, is used electric air blower to clean out the dust.

At least the answers suggest that notihng is broken. My game is capped to 60 fps, so does it remind me every time i start cs2 since i got my new monitor.

What PSU do you have, those intel a GPU's burn a hole in your wallet when it comes to energy usage. And since you go from 1 6 pin to 2 x 8 pin connector, it's probably not much of a PSU and that's why you see bad performance and artifacting.

[LUIGI MALATESTA]

It was actually the games configuration.

Buy new GPU.
