msi afterburner Why doesn't my MSI Afterburner allow 110% Power limit?

[CometX]

Hey I was just wondering why My MSI Afterburner reach the 110% power limit, despite my card, the Colorful RTX 3060 Ti BattleAx NB-V, having a Maximum Power Limit of 220watts (110%) ?
I tried to undervolt it and use tools like HWinfo to check the power consumption and it reaches around 197-198 Watts before it gets power-throtled

 

And another note, Im trying to find another source of it "being able to use 220 watts"

The listed TDP of that card is 200 W, so you're power draw is as expected. It can get 150 W from the single 8-pin plus 75 W from the PCIe slot, so it has a total of 225 W available to it, which is close to the 200 W it's currently drawing. A 110% power limit would push it to 220 W which i sp robably too close for comfort to the maximum 225 W that can be provided. My guess is that's the reason it's fixed to 100% in the BIOS or something.

Maybe your bios is limited to 200W. If you want more, try to flash another bios that has a higher power limit.

if the card has 1 8-pin connector then it probably shouldn't draw 220w anyway as that would mean the slot is doing 60-70w, also that memory oc is chipping at the power limit and might not be optimal, even if stable.

Yeah it seems like it too, Thank you for the help!
