My 1070 is currently running with tape covering half of the PCIe pins so it works on x8 instead of x16.
One day it stopped working. During troubleshooting it would work only on a 10 year old PC I had lying around. The difference? Despite being full-size, the GPU slot on the old mobo was wired only for x8.
I reckon that the GPU die lost connection on some pins. Not worth fixing, x8 works fine.
