Hello! And thank you for the response! I believe I may have solved it? Even though the temp on the 29300ish run was 97 degrees, I thought perhaps it was throttling? So I lowered the temp in my room to 65F and ran it again. Not only did I raise the P cores to 5.5 I also lowered my CL to 13. It was good enough to get me a 29592! And #93 in the ranking. Definitely thought bringing it up to 5.5 would have raised my score more than it did (especially with lowering the CL at the same time) but it is what it is, I'm just having a lot of fun learning about everything!
If you see anything else I could improve here please let me know!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I never took a screenshot of the 29300 run because I didn't save it. So just added this run of the 29592.
