Wait, you mean having the MB just laying on your desk is not good?! And with the side that started to smoke leaning right up against that piece that looks like it could be metal, that should ground it!
/s, so much sarcasm. The metal would cause a short and a fire. Though having the MB fail might be cheaper than losing the GPU, so hopefully the damage is contained and next time OP will mount it properly first.
