Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional AdS gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the conformal collider bounds, with unstable modes connected to boundary causality-violating modes by phase rotation of complex boundary momentum.

abstract
It was argued by Brigante et.al that the lower bound on the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density in strongly coupled plasma is translated into microcausality violation in the dual gravitational description. Since transport properties of the system characterize its infrared dynamics, while the causality of the theory is determined by its ultraviolet behavior, the viscosity bound/microcausality link should not be applicable to theories that undergo low temperature phase transitions. We present an explicit model of AdS/CFT correspondence that confirms this fact.

Instability of 5D Gauss-Bonnet black branes
Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional AdS gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the conformal collider bounds, with unstable modes connected to boundary causality-violating modes by phase rotation of complex boundary momentum.
