Hi, your setup seems reasonable. With an i7-8750h having a 45W TDP, the turbo boost limits are around 70W and short power up to 90W. Since you're already experiencing high boosts at 90 degrees, reducing it significantly might help prevent overheating. It’s a good idea to lower the boost a bit rather than risking damage.
Intel advises matching the turbo boost long power max to the TDP, which is 45W for the 8750H and 9750H models. Many manufacturers overlook this guidance. Cutting power limits can lower CPU temps but also cuts peak performance. Is that your goal? Intel states any temperature below the 100°C thermal cutoff is safe to run. There’s no reason to restrict CPU limits. If Asus chose 70W for your laptop, they’re just as confident as Intel in setting the thermal threshold at 100°C.
