Basically the topic title:)

Intel Extreme wouldn't run and suggested I turned off the win11 memory integrity feature.

Can I turn it back on after I have undervolted?

Is there a better way to undervolt? like does the asus z790-plus wifi, have a bios feature that is better to use?

If a program installs a driver incompatible with mem integrity (like Intel Extreme, apparently) this will require that feature to be disabled as long as the program is installed (and the incompatible driver loaded). A modern (UEFI) Bios on a higher end retail board that supports OC will have those features though.
I’m pretty sure it’s just whenever the program is running, not installed. I could be wrong, haven’t checked.

As to the original question, if you’re really concerned about security, you could use XTU to find a setting your PC is stable with, then apply it in BIOS and turn Mem Integrity back on.

I'm not familiar with Intel Extreme, but it may be the problem with it may be with CPU hardware virtualization which Memory Integrity needs enabled in order to work in Windows. So CPU virtualization may need to be disabled in BIOS, which will also disable Core Isolation along with Memory Integrity.
