Gigabyte GTX 1080 Micron weirdness

Hello!

K so, I'm mew to GPU-mining. I bought a BTC-T37, 1600w PSU and three 1060 6GB Asus cards and got it all working very good in hiveOS, more cards on the way.

Today I got a Gigabyte "GTX 1080 8 GB G1 Gaming" with  Micron GDDR5X memory. I watched the youtubes and searched the interwebs for where to start and all went well until I activated "the pill".

In t-rex I get a "can't find nonce" error before crash, in phoenixminer and MBminer I also get errors. The card says "rev 1.0" on it so I set the pill delay to -50 and just by a fluke I test some settings that some youtuber had (core 50, mem 500, PL 110, pill on) with NBminer and it started hashing at 30Mh+ Wonderful!, but... as soon as I try another miner, it crashes. As soon as I change any frequency or PL value, it crashes. The only way I have found to make it get going again is to turn off the pill, reboot the worker, let it get going on the above mentioned values in NBminer for a couple of minutes, and then turn on the pill. Been stable for 3 hours with 100% accepted shares now.

Any ideas?

My monitors broke and I only have laptops so I can't check bios settings until I get a monitor (on it's way). When it crashes, oftentimes any restarted miner can't find any GPU at all, that tells me it cam be a bios setting issue (like Gen 1, gen 2 etc), but I don't know...
