Can't lower Power Maximum below 84% // 150w on my new 5060Ti

OPEN

Heyo!

Just got my new 5060Ti 16GB upgraded from my 3060Ti 8GB card, but noticed unlike my 3060Ti i cant lower my Power Maximum // Powerlimit bellow 84%, or 150w. I dropped my power limit all the way down to 57-65%ish on my 3060Ti no issues o:

Was same on MSI afterburner and Asus Tweak software, some specific reasoning behind this and no workaround for this? Would prefer limiting it further than 84% to reduce fan noises a bit now when it inside my small cramped Mini-ITX case. If not I can still live with it, doesn't reach dangerous levels of hot during streetest, but definitly louder fans than my 3060Ti now that I could go further with my Power Limit on.
