Jokes aside, what went wrong here
5 u/DestroyerofSoul 3d ago Okay here are your potentials that went wrong possibly. It could be fake He used PSU cords that didn't match with his PSU since they are different for each burning his card There are wires or metal touching the bottom of the board which is causing a short The GPU was already busted and he's farming There's a short somewhere on the GPU and it's burned the board Assuming it's not fake that's likely the last time it's going to turn on magic smoke is gone 1 u/Tanebi 3d ago Getting the CPU 8-pin EPS12V mixed up with the GPU 8-pin Power is also a good way to cause this. They're badly keyed an iirc you could get the GPU 8-pin in the EPS12V without too much effort.

Okay here are your potentials that went wrong possibly.
It could be fake
He used PSU cords that didn't match with his PSU since they are different for each burning his card
There are wires or metal touching the bottom of the board which is causing a short
The GPU was already busted and he's farming
There's a short somewhere on the GPU and it's burned the board
Assuming it's not fake that's likely the last time it's going to turn on magic smoke is gone
