RX 6800 crashes, both randomly after a few days and within 10 minutes of playing CS2 (Debian Sid)

I've heard about the recent bug and the amdgpu.mcbp=0 fix, but that did nothing for me, and even switching from 6.5.0 to 6.6.1 did not fix anything either.

This is part of my /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_idle.max_cstate=0 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"  

The cstate thing was part of a fix of a different problem I was having where the gpu would crash when the computer went to sleep. Looking for answers to this problem, I heard that this problem has been fixed, but I'm not going to bother checking (unless disabling cstates causes part of the problem?)

The ppfeaturemask is for overclocking, which I disabled, and it didn't help, EXCEPT:

Lowering all the clocks down to the minimum made me get around 15-25% performance in CS2, but it did not crash. Turning the clocks to 75% gave me 75% performance (obviously) and it DELAYED but did not prevent the crash. Overclocking slightly increases the speed the crashes occur.

I know it's not a power supply issue, as my entire system apparently only draws 300W while playing (??) and giving the GPU a separate known working 510W PSU did not help the problem at all.

NOTE: IT IS NOT CS2 THAT'S THE ISSUE! It crashes with only Steam open as well! It seems that anything that uses the GPU in any way is at risk of causing the crash.

Tell me where to look for logs on these crashes and give me ideas for fixes.
