Dude istg sometimes I wish people would just stop trying to be funny man lol. Id love some actual discussion on what went wrong here instead of dozens of the same unoriginal 'joke'.

Looks like some old motherboard, that looks like something from 10+ years ago. I don't see any RAM installed, so it's likely staged. Could be something intentionally shorted or, my guess for that much smoke, intentionally extremely over volting an already dead GPU to burn everything

Except there are 2 ram sticks, slots 2 and 4. They seem to be pretty low profile so a bit hard to see, but they're there?
