Any reason why my PL1 limit and PL2 limits are at 4090w at optimized defaults?

[Randomizer23]

On a Z390 Aorus Ultra and a 9700k. At stock it will draw around 110w in cinebench and won't ever go down to the 95w TDP that its rated for. I noticed my PL1 and PL2 limits are at 4090w and not 95w. Im on optimized defaults from the motherboard bios.

Since around Z370 mobo manufacturers have been setting power limits to max out of the box to make their boards look like they perform better than other manufacturers. You can fix this in the BIOS of you want to

That's kinda why you get a K chip, so it doesn't throttle down for no good reason after an arbitrary time limit...

Pretty sure it's 125W PL1 and 95W PL2, but don't quote me on that.
