You don't need to run it continuously to maintain the changes, but it should be active for them to stay. The Bosch interface can't modify it directly since it's not a K chip.

Are you certain you're not altering voltage settings in the BIOS? It seems the absence of a non-K chip primarily affects the frequency multiplier.

If I can, I will double check.

No, I can't provide full context—it's an alienware aurora R7 and whatever motherboard or custom BIOS isn't allowing me to access overclocking features. It's not a major issue since I have a non-K chip, but their voltage is set too high at 1.5. Using an Intel XTU I lowered it to 1.13 and the chip ran much cooler. That's why I inquired whether I should keep it running to maintain those changes.

Employ a monitoring program to observe Vcore. This allows you to notice it returning to normal once you leave XTU and/or restart, or if it keeps the adjustments you applied.
