Build complete! Any thoughts on undervolting?

I recently posted this build before it was completed, now it's all done and running really great in my opinion.
Stays well under 90 deg when under full load/benchmarking.
I'd love to know if it's worth undervolting anything at this point or just general pointers or even potential overclocking ideas.

Thank you all for your time and assistance! :)

smthing wrong with your cpu/ bios config
my df score is around 23.5k
when I undervolt it (-120mv) got ~ 23.9k in CBR23

What do you recommend checking in BIOS?
I would let my bios run in df mode first to compare w the base score and tinkering from that point.
A mild uv -0.75mv as well.

There are tangible benefits to undervolting. Reduced temps being the biggest, reduced power usage is another. You'll have to tinker(naturally) to find the best voltage your system can run stable at. Remember to use offset voltage settings instead of absolute voltages as offsets scale better with clock speed changes.

Thanks! I've undervolted CPU core and cache and the temps dropped a bit under load. I logged playing COD from 8:00pm onwards to show the temps difference. Anything else worth adjusting? I'll go and try undervolting more till the limit tomorrow but wanted to get a start on it.
