The low power consumption is great.
But the mining generate very high peaks in power% here (not infrequently 125%, with official ccminer and nVidia cards).
My rigs just shutdown/reset quite often even if I set low core clock and use curve for setting it (and I not set it higher than the factory settings over 900mV).
Also tried with lower mem clock but nothing, my rigs often shutdown.
I using lots of algo and there is no problem with them, but now I'm clueless and don't know how to mine GRLC safely, but efficiently.

Any idea?

I have exactly the same problem on rig 1080ti, rig 1060 are fine.

It resets my PC even if I lower TDP 55, mem -500, CORE 0

For other algo, everything is ok. TDP 80 CORE +115 mem -500 / + 500 all stable



Also 1080 Ti and 1070 Ti rigs here. I think it's not a power supply problem.
E.g.: With 8 1080 Ti the power consumption with max TDP is ~300W * 8 = 2.4 kW.
I'm using 2.4 kW server PSU's (little oversized at "normal" usage) what I tested with 2.8 kW (peak) power and there was no problem.
+ with GRLC, the peaks don't come on every card at the same time. For me the allium algo is a silent killer.
Silent because low power consumption and killer because of the extreme high peaks.
