some time ago a problem appeared, I use Windows 11 and Mac OS in these OS the video cards overheat in the task manager it does not show that the video card is loaded but in the program for the video card it shows 100% load on video card number 2, in Mac OS the video cards are also loaded. I do not know where to start looking for this problem, Windows is completely reinstalled. I will be very grateful if you write some advice
Got a tip for us?

MP 6,1 constant load on video cards and overheating

Is the GPU running a load, or just has an elevated temperature? Also, got anything interesting plugged in, like an 8K monitor?
Under macOS -> Activity Monitor -> Window -> GPU History (or Command-4)
This will show processing load for each GPU. I don't know how to do this under Windows.
If it's just elevated temps on GPU #2, with no corresponding load, then the heatsink grease probably needs redoing on GPU #2. If it is dried out grease, I'd redo it on both GPUs, and maybe even the CPU. Assuming it's the factory grease, all three are the same age.

Better track down whatever GPU task you set up. Or someone may be mining crypto on your MP.
Try checking under macOS too. My reasoning is it's unlikely you have an equivalent runaway process (or infection) under both OSes. So if it's present under both Win and MacOS, then it's a hardware issue, or something running at the OpenCore level.

In task manager GPU 1 is for the displays, GPU 0 is for special calculating or can be used with crossfire on Windows. In the AMD tool is GPU 1 main and GPU 2 secondary
100% is not normal on a simple desktop, what driver are you using?

Could not be translated directly, would be nice to write in English in a US forum. I'm from Germany, but I also write in English.
What do you mean with red light in a Connector?
yes sorry my mistake i always use translator this time there was a mistake
yes that's exactly what i mean, i tried reinstalling drivers and deleting the TOSlink digital-out device
none of that helped
