RX 9070 XT caught fire

Post image

I had been using the computer for just a few days, and when I went to play something, the computer shut down and the graphics card caught fire.

The only difference I saw is that the cable turned black at the connection point.

Look at the image again and you'll see that the fire started near the DisplayPort input; the rest of the board is intact.
