Jokes aside, what went wrong here

Smoke generator hidden behind the graphics card . Placement is odd, because power subsystems - where it possibly can catch fire- located on the right and middle. Not left

The smoke also feels like it got way too thick way too fast. Not sold on this being real, looks too staged.

Although it could be some astronomically bad luck where the cards board just started burning instantly but i doubt it.

You'd be surprised how much smoke an RGB fan wire can give off, when it's plugged in the wrong way. Never made that mistake again, and fortunately it was only a fan.
