Reworking TDP?

OK so I have an A15 5800H RTX 3070.
I forget what my CPU TDP is, but I know my GPU is capped at 95w I believe.

If my reading serves me correctly all 3070 chips are equal (within reason) and the TDP is what actually limits it's capabilities as say if there's a max draw of 200w the other 105w is spoken for. I have found during gaming my CPU goes a bit nuts, gets hot, yet doesn't actually use all it has to offer.
I read somewhere Ryzen controller can allow you to rework TDPs of these things, if that is the case, if I dropped 5-10w from my CPU to lower temps could I raise the TPD of the GPU to allow higher stable clocks?

I understand if I do that the GPU will get hotter, but I'm already on the move with updated thermal solutions there. I have seen a few things going on about flashing different BIOS settings but there's no guarantee it would work safely as the mother board was likely designed around a max of 200w. That and the BIOS would need to be compatible blah blah...

Is this actually possible?

Man, I wish I could get another 10W or so out of my GPU. My power block is 200w, and I have seen a 240w version too.

Thermally, I've overhauled my laptop massively and it's due a repaste because ASUS suck... anyway, my thermals are now much better. If my mobo and VRMs could deal with a 110w draw the extra 15w of power sould be a nice gain on the A15. Not surprised OC dropped it from their line up the FA506QR is a **** show.
Im going to make another thread on here about my journey so people can read and maybe take something from it.
