you can "soft" tune the CPU using XTU, but not as a replacement for UEFI tuning. just another resource to contend with for troubleshooting and resource to eat into the other apps that might need those addresses. best to get the XTU stable and then transfer the adjustments to the UEFI so that on boot, the CPU is overclocked, not waiting for XTU to load and then apply overclock.
