This is an image of Gigabyte Eagle 5070Ti, I have the Windforce model but couldnt find a picture with its cooler off, however Eagle has the same exact design, tdp limit, cooler, and price is also very similar, so I assume they are the same gpu basically and the only difference is a RGB strip on Eagle.
Can somebody experienced in electronics tell me how high TDP (Power in Watts) could this gpu handle? Windforce/Eagle models are limited to 300W, but I have the option to flash different bioses on it with up to 400W TDP. Do you think this board could handle 350W or even 400W?
I upgraded to 3x pcie 8-pin -> 12+4-pin nvidia gpu adapter from the stock 2x pcie so it should provide the power without issues, and I improved cooling with additional fans and running all fans at 100%, so power delivery and cooling shouldnt be an issue, but what about the gpu itself? I dont plan to run the gpu at 300+W longterm, i much prefer undervolted curves (especially with summer coming up), so please dont waste your time with comments like "it is pointless" and "why risk it", I am curious and want to run some benchmarks, compare performance at higher power limits and see for myself how the 5070Ti behaves with more power, so i am looking for a professional opinion on how this pcb is designed and if it is able to provide more power to the core.

Can this Gigabyte Eagle 5070TI handle higher TDP, and how high?

pretty sure it’s less about wattage and more about your ability to cool the GPU. also silicon lottery because less voltage is better. if you have a fancy custom water cooler, you might be able to get away with some ridiculous power pulls.
Power stage seems exactly like the 5080 Gaming OC that can do 450W.

That said, the die is probably gonna be unstable (core/voltage) on a 5070ti before ever needing 450w. You’ll probably see 350-400w max power consumption at most.
