Below target temps with Aorus Engine 'auto overclocking,' am I doing it wrong?

I managed to pick up an RTX 3070 recently, which was a significant upgrade from my R9 390. I'm very happy with it, but wondering if I can't get a little more.

System Specs:

Processor	Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6 GHz 6-Core
Motherboard	MSI B360 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151
Cooling	Cooler Master Hyper 212X Dual Fan 82.9 CFM CPU Cooler / 5x Phanteks PH-F140SP 140mm Case Fans
Memory	G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory
Video Card (current)	Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card
Video Card (previous)	MSI R9 390 8 GB Video Card
Power Supply	EVGA SuperNOVA 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I played with Aorus engine and got a curve for my card that looks like a reasonably generous boost above the Gaming OC's 1815 MHz clock, but I'm not sure it's actually applying the top of the curve it assessed or using all the headroom available with my target temp.

Here's my profile:

Here's GPU-Z while running:

As you can see I'm handily below my already reasonable target temp by almost 10 degrees, though the clock is stepped up to 1965 MHz. Have I missed a step somewhere? Should I just cap my target temp to 88 degrees (the default max) and auto scan again? Or is playing with it manually the only option to squeeze more out of it?

Admittedly I like the security of the automation since I'm not experienced with overclocking at all, but I've looked into it enough that I'd be comfortable tinkering if it would make a significant difference.

I would undervolt that puppy. If you brick that card i highly doubt that the manufacturer will get you a new one.

Yeah, this is why I'd much prefer sticking to AORUS Engine's automated functions. Mostly just confused as to why my target temp isn't really being pushed at all.
