My OC scores & further optimization advice

I built a new system with an 9950X3D / Zotac 5080 Amp Infinity / 32GB Corsair Vengeance 6000MT (basically the Microcenter 9950X3D bundle) / Lancool 217 / Corsair Nautilus RS AIO.

Tinkering with the Zotac, I got +350MHz core clock & +3000MHz memory, no change in voltage.

Clocks + temps show in the screenshot while Heaven is stress-testing. Up to 66C, settles around 61C, clock ~3200MhZ. Heaven hasn't triggered any hangs or artifacts after an hour of looping.

Speedway: 10.180 https://www.3dmark.com/sw/3667326
Timespy Extreme Graphics: 18.300 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/64417106
Steel Nomad: 9.700 https://www.3dmark.com/sn/14678731

I find these to be decent numbers and not worth pushing more. Any recommendations welcome.

A couple of questions:
-Given that I haven't pushed the voltage, could this be dailied or should I be dialing back for everyday use?
-How would I go about UV after these results? Totally separate profile with close to stock performance for much less power? Or can the UV and OC be combined (for a lower total OC ofc)?
-Anything else I should keep in mind?

Thanks!

Apologies in advance if this doesn't go here: I bought a 9950X3D a couple of months back and it came with a free Crimson Desert code. The deadline to claim is nearing, and I haven't got all my parts yet so I can't finish the build, let alone turn it on and claim. Is there another way I can claim the game? Not looking for anything irregular or illegal, just don't want to miss the freebie. thanks in advance
