TH7II caught on fire!

My TH7II recently caught on fire!
The PCI 4 slot where I had my NIC card went up in flames.
Luckaly I unpluged the machine before it was destroyed, but it did leave that slot useless (toast) and the NIC melted.
Looks like the fire started somewhere in the third or fifth connector.
Very Weird but you guys have any clue why?

Wow that is freaky 🙁

at least u didnt loose anything else. I would look into RMAing that MB just to be safe

I would gladly RMA it but Abit doesn't take back merchindise with "physical damage". They said it could have easily been something else. Pssst, like what?!
