Hey guys, a friend of mine recently built a new PC, and his 5070 TI sparked and started smoking on the first boot. I initially thought he might have plugged his GPU into one of the CPU ports on his PSU instead of a PCIe slot, but he has a PSU with interchangeable ports. The PC is now working fine with just integrated graphics and without the GPU installed. I've only built PCs with AMD GPUs, so I'm not too familiar with the new 12-pin connector. Do you have any ideas why his GPU decided to self-destruct?
