Helios 300 PH315-53-77K0: GPU power doesn't seem to go up to advertised amount

I have had my Predator Helios 300 for about half a year now, pushing it to it's (predefined) limits to see how well it performs with modern games (including vr). To aide me, I have begun using various monotoring softwares to check on clock speeds and etc.
One curious thing I noticed during a benchmark however was that the GPU (a RTX 3070) was topping off at 100W, even tough the official specsheet from Acer details it can go up to 105W. These readings came from both the Nvidia GeForce overlay and Open Hardware Monitor.

Can anyone confirm if this has to do with a preprogrammed wattage (just lower than advertised), a limitation related to the clockspeeds or something else

For heat control in laptops, GPUs are usually limited to 80-90% of advertised nvidia (not Acer) max. Probably can be overridden but not advised if you're not having gaming or real world issues.
