3 GTX 1070s, especially overclocked, should alone draw more than 400 watt under full load and that doesn't account for the CPU and rest of the system. Try removing one or two cards and see how much your wattage changes.

Well you can't overclock a GPU or CPU and then limit it's power draw. Maybe that's why it can't be overclocked past a certain point.

I dont think that is true multiple people say that you can. If you go to any cryptocurrency site or reddit people post there gpu overclocking configs and they have way higher overclocks with same amount of power

You have to consider every card is different. Nevertheless, does changing this option to 100% and above allow you to increase your overclock?

No only increase the watts that it comsumes
