I have the same laptop, GX703 and experiencing the same issue you mentioned.
Asus please fix this and remove the hard lock.

MasterC, it has been almost 2 weeks since I had reported the issue of the Zephyrus S17 power throttling at just 55 degrees on the CPU in manual mode due to the absurdly low PL1 at 65W, and I'm still awaiting a resolution from your side. It is strange to see how turbo mode allows free control of power limits over XTU, but manual mode just hard locks the power limit to 65W, and overrides any attempts to break free via XTU/Throttlestop. Youtuber GizmoSlipTech highlighted the same problem in his Zephyrus M16 video as well, and was really disappointed due to the inability to modify power limits through XTU in manual mode.
Kindly intimate on the course of action, as competing laptops from other brands at this price point offer limitless control through XTU/Throttlestop, and Zephyrus S17 shouldn't be an exception. Either don't have those power sliders for Intel laptops in manual mode, or don't 'hard lock' the power limit to 65W, that we just can't get over it. The purpose of manual mode is to give the user more granular control, and not limit the user in any way.

Whether you uninstall Armoury Crate or not, the result is about the same (Around 9K). You can try. Check results with the same graphics driver to do a fair comparison. You are up-to-date with driver version 471.96 and BIOS 308, if you find results of 11K online using this graphics driver version then please let me know. We will investigate whether the dynamic boost algorithm has errors, if so, the performance is capped by incorrect CPU wattage (this is something we'll request NVIDIA to resolve).
Do you actually have an issue with the Multiwheel? Not sure why you even have a driver (does not need a driver). Please send it to me to check if you are having issues.

Dear MasterC,
I noted a major issue wherein on Turbo mode while running Cinebench, the Zephyrus S17 hits 90W on the CPU with really good temperatures at just 77 degrees. But as soon as I use Manual mode in Armoury Crate, the PL1 drops to a mere 65W, which brings performance to underwhelming levels. Not only that, even if we try to control CPU power using Throttlestop or XTU does not work with manual mode, as the PL1 remains fixed at 65W.
I need to max out the fans to get even better cooling and performance, but manual is forcing an abruptly low 65W on the Zephyrus S17. The laptop itself has a very good thermal headroom to spare which is remarkable on a thin machine, so please look into this as soon as possible, and let the power limits be freely customisable through Throttlestop and Intel XTU, as my old Zephyrus S15 had no such problems with power limits, and I could set any value I wanted to.

Dear MasterC,
Requesting your kind attention to the issue raised in the post quoted below. Other competing laptops at similar price range offer full control over power limits, and ROG should be no different. Power limits are easily configurable through XTU in Turbo Mode, however manual mode hard locks the power limit on the CPU to 65W, and overrides any attempt to increase those power limits through XTU, which is like wasting the thermal headroom available on this machine, as with fans at maximum speed in manual, CPU runs at just 55 degrees at 65W. Hope you understand the view, that the intention of having something like manual mode is to allow for deeper levels of fine tuning, and not to limit us from doing the same. My suggestion for Intel based ROG laptops is to do away entirely with power limit sliders altogether, and allow the users to do so through Intel XTU/Throttlestop, should they desire to configure power limits. The Zephyrus S17 is a highly capable machine, has better cooling on the CPU than the competition thanks to liquid metal, so please look into the same at the earliest.

Hi just20sent,
From our internal testing, the CPU Score (you mentioned CPU score, not final score) should be between 9 to 10K.
I checked online and reviewers got similar results.
The Multiwheel does not require a driver, more info here:
https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1043747
You may direct other users here if they have BIOS issues, but in your case I assume it's not.
Please check instructions above for how to get Overdrive working again.
