Important note: After flashing your BIOS or reinstalling your video card driver unzip the file below and right click it, Edit it using NotePad, change the '-pl 3**' to your max TDP on your card, Save As the file, choose 'All Files', not '.txt', save the powerlimit.bat file, than right click it and 'Run As Adminstrator'
.bat files for setting the power limit in the BestBiosCollection.zip file attached in this OP.
Note: Top display port will be disabled if you flash a BIOS on the FE other then one of the stock BIOS's.
I've found after flashing a BIOS or installing Nvidia drivers the max power limit is much lower than it should be and this is the fix.
You can find your max TDP in the official BIOS's link.
Link to XOC no power limit BIOS. You don't need to run the power limit .bat file with this BIOS.

BIOS's to flash.
Best BIOS Collection are the all the BIOS's I tested that give decent results. XOC is power limit free BIOS developed for L2N, still working on our FE's and other cards though.
Renamed by card they come from for clarification with power limit wattage of each one in the name.
Added the .bat files needed to run as Admin after each flash.

Important! Don't flash the HOF or MSI Lightning Z BIOS's or any BIOS that uses three power connectors.
They'll brick your card and unless you have a spare card or iGPU you won't be able to flash it back. Also two eight pin power connector Kingpin BIOS will brick your card.
