Weird PCI riser death

Now this isn't really a question but, I want to share a little issue I had before with a PCI riser I was using to vert mount a gpu. This one specifically.

What happened is that it was working fine for quite some time, but when I went to overclock the card the thing managed to fry itself. The current suspicion is that it was because of where the fans revved up to a higher load than they'd ever been at before and it shook the PCI riser and broke one the badly soldered connections. Now mounted right into the PCB it works fine, without it the machine won't even boot. 

I work as a contractor for everything from photo/video to broadcast and networking. 

I use an old HP Laptop forked up on top of a photography textbook. 

Right now this is what I use: Fuji X100T, Fuji X100, Fuji X-E1, XF 18 f2, XF 35 1.4, Nikon d7000, Nikkor 180 2,8 AFIS, Nikkor 60 1.8.

I've got more crap laying around for other jobs and hobbies, though a lot of that isn't applicable to the interests of this forum, so I'll keep myself back from adding it all to the list.

2/5 stars might explain it. 

Yeah. Just never expected that kinda thing to happen from something as simple as a flat cable. Though, I guess thats the issues you're going to get from a cheaply soldered Chinese made cable.
