Ever considered that it's Gigabyte (who has the worst bioses in the industry) who's playing with the stock settings?
Techpowerup who made their tests on MSI X470 M7 also got > 1800pts in Cinebench R15, meaning that PBO was definitely enabled.

Also these CPUs don't have any 105W limit.
The minimum limit is the 141.75W, even when you disable PBO manually.
Not something I considered due to few sources (two I found) which mention PSO settings and the power draw of the CPU.
The lack of information makes it appear that PSO being on or off is the reason for exceeding TDP.
Ignore that, tomshardware was using a MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC board with PSO disabled to get the 105W reading.
Gigabyte was being used by no one, I only mentioned the Gigabyte board because it was showing a warning to enable PSO.
So Gigabyte doesn't have PSO as default and MSI is not exceeding TDP with PSO disabled.
Both of them are not using the settings you mention so stock or PSO disabled apparently has different meaning depending on the brand you are using.
