Normal temperature ranges while gaming
| Component | Normal | Concerning |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 50-75°C | 85°C+ |
| GPU | 60-80°C | 85°C+ |
| SSD/NVMe | 30-50°C | 70°C+ |
Exact norms depend on the model and cooling, but exceeding the "concerning" values above almost always means thermal throttling — automatic frequency reduction to protect against overheating, which directly tanks your FPS.
Monitoring software
HWMonitor and HWInfo64 are free programs that show real-time temperatures for every component, including individual CPU cores. MSI Afterburner additionally lets you display a temperature overlay right in-game so you don't have to alt-tab to check.
Signs of throttling in CS2
If FPS drops immediately at launch regardless of session length, the cause is more likely settings or background processes than overheating.
What to do about high temperatures
Basic steps: clean dust out of the case and fans (every 6-12 months), check CPU thermal paste (every 2-3 years), improve case airflow (at least 1 intake + 1 exhaust fan). If that's not enough, you need a more powerful cooler or a case with better ventilation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are MACROSCS macros cheats?
No. MACROSCS macros run inside the mouse's own software (Logitech G HUB, Bloody LK-Libra, Razer Synapse). They never interact with CS2 game files and never modify process memory. It is the same as programming a mouse button to do something - completely legal and does not violate Valve's rules.
Is VAC Safe a guarantee?
VAC analyzes the game process, not the mouse driver. Since our scripts run at the mouse firmware level, VAC physically cannot see them. Across MACROSCS's entire history (1200+ clients) - 0 VAC bans.
Which mice do the macros work with?
Supported: Logitech G (G HUB), Bloody (LK-Libra / Oscar Editor), Razer (Synapse 3), and SteelSeries (GG Engine). A separate script file and instructions are provided for each platform.
Do the macros work on FACEIT?
FACEIT Anti-Cheat operates at the kernel level and checks game memory. Our macros run in the mouse software and never touch the CS2 process, so FACEIT has no way to detect them. Thousands of FACEIT players use MACROSCS daily.
How long does a macro keep working after a CS2 update?
Valve occasionally changes recoil patterns in patches. All MACROSCS clients get updated scripts for free within 24-48 hours of a patch release, via our Telegram channel.
Can I try a macro before buying?
Yes. Message us on Telegram @macroscs and we will provide a 30-minute demo version to test on your mouse and setup.
How much does it cost and how do I buy?
Price depends on the package: Basic (1 weapon) - $5, PRO (all CS2 weapons) - $15, Ultimate (CS2 + PUBG) - $25. Payment via crypto or card. Full details on Telegram @macroscs.
