You may struggle to match that result with the same setup if it was recorded before Windows received multiple security updates for Intel CPU vulnerabilities. Still, your performance falls under a 2% variation, which fits within the acceptable error range for both your and their scores. This suggests your systems are handling the same OS, drivers, software, and hardware tweaks, plus the chance of random silicon variations.
If you're not concerned about the physical components, you might keep increasing the overclock until the system can no longer finish the task. You could also consider purchasing additional R3 3100 chips and swapping them out with more GPUs to test performance improvements. However, if the previous setup used different software, you'd already be at a disadvantage, and your machine might be faster but not outperform newer versions.
You can experiment with RAM timing, overclocking, and adjustments to the Infinity Fabric. You might have hit the maximum overclocking potential for your setup.
I have limited knowledge about RAM and timing. When you raise the frequency, adjust the timing settings accordingly and choose appropriate values based on your system requirements.
