Doing a friendly OC challenge with 15 friends on who can get the best score on Steel Nomad with the following parameters,

Must use a standard win10 or win11 install ( bloatware can be removed)
Any BIOS and Windows settings changes allowed

posting for tech help/tips/ is allowed and encouraged for best possible scores.
Our contest ends Sunday and i'm currently sitting in 2nd place trailing the first place guy by 32 points, im so close but yet so far away lol. I think i have taken this rig as far as i can with my knowledge (new to AMD).
Anyone have any extra tips or settings to try to pickup 32 points they wouldn't mind sharing. I am fixing one disadvantage that i will have fixed tomorrow, ( i don't know how much it has been costing me points, i figured it is to some degree) but im using a Gen4 riser on my GPU, i have a Gen5 arriving tomorrow to swap in to gain that small performance back, will it be 32 points worth? probably not. That's where you guys come in lol
CPU (waterblocked) is PBO +200, – 30 offset, scalar x10
GPU (waterblocked) is getting OC'd hard, i have maxed out the core and memory clocks, only way to gain more out of it as i see it is to blast the room with A/C to "freeze" the room for a few hours and bang out a quick run.
Ram is a 6000MHz kit that is OC'd further to 6400MHz
