What do you mean by switching the CPU power limit? The CPU power limit cannot be changed.

In PredatorSense there is CPU Power Limit where available 3 options NORMAL -> High -> Max. I want to set Hotkey to switch between that values.

For example there is Hotkey "1" which switch GPU Overclocking value.

I think you can, but you have to edit the files of predator sense. I don't think it is very hard, but you need a bit of knowledge how to write the paths of normal, fast and turbo to appear on the key assignment. The easier solution is to set the CPU power limit(I don't know what exactly it actually does. I don't know if increases the PL1 beyond 45W or PL2 beyond 56.25W) to turbo. Having the PL set to turbo constantly won't hurt the CPU, as it will use the extra wattages or whatever it is, when it needs to sustain the max clock speeds.

You cant.
However in Game Sync you can manually add apps where you want the cpu tdp boost and overclock to automatically kick in.

If you want the cpu tdp to be higher all the time than 45W and if you want more than 56.250W, then you need an unlocked bios.
However in this case you need to uninstall PS or else it will overwrite the bios settings.
