Noticed on my 14700k with strix z790-h the power limit 2 is set to over 4000 so basically uncapped should I manually set it to 253w or whatever the default is, by doing this will I lose much performance?

I have my 14700K limited to 253W. Unless you bought your CPU only to run benchmarks 24/7 you won’t notice a difference in performance. It will use less power though which means less heat. When set to 253W my CPU will run at 5.5GHz in games on all cores so still a beast.
What motherboard do you have? And how did you set the PL to 253W? I have the same chip with a MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Max Wifi and currently running stock, except XMP profile enabled and FanCurve setup.
