However, if the system boots with a power limit initially configured, then XTU versions other than 6.3.0.35 are not able to change the power limit. In this state, I was able to use XTU to set the power limit to 140 W and also to clear it again. In the default (factory reset) state, my ASUS X299-A (BIOS 0402) boots with the power limits disabled (set to 4 kW). However, regarding BIOS settings, I did find something of importance in reproducing this issue. I used the XTU 6.3.0.56 that you linked and did not see any difference. When I use the earlier XTU 6.3.0.35 from ASUS, the power consumption in LINPACK is observed to reach 170+ W, and the frequency remains at the maximum turbo frequency. However, when I run a stress test like Prime95 v28.10 ("Small FFT") or Intel Math Kernel Library Benchmark ("linpack/runme_xeon64.bat"), the package TDP in the XTU monitor never exceeds 140 W, and the frequency is reduced.
