New PC Bios Tips?

Hello all! I built a new PC a few months back, and has all been running fine but as it was my first time, I'm curious as to if I have missed out on enabling anything in the BIOS. I know about XMP and have that enabled to run the  memory at full speed, but wondering if there's anything else, maybe CPU or GPU specific? Thanks for reading! 

My setup is a Ryzen 7 5700x, Gigabyte 3050 OC (don't get on at me for buying a 3050, I know), and a Aorus B550 Elite Mobo.

Stuff I usually pay attention to is Fastboot status, igpu disable if you don't need it, moderate memory overclocking (not the sub timings just the frequency). If you aren't worried about power draw, OC the CPU some. In Windows, OC the GPU as much as possible.

if you feel like you could use the extra power on your CPU, PBO is a thing

Never owned AMD Ryzen, just speaking in general.

Nothing much you can enable pbo, if your cpu is running hot you can lower the voltage a lil that's pretty much it I think
