Just put together new build, and I'm seeing conflicting things about this.

ASUS Prime Z270-K
Windows 10 x64
i5 7600k
G.Skill TridentZ 3000mhz
GTX 1070

and if so, do people keep XMP enabled indefinitely? or should one disable and go back to "stock" 2400 or whatever it is every day or so?

I know topics similar to this are around, but I wanted to be very specific with my parts and speeds. Thanks

People keep XMP enable indefinitely. No need to turn it off, UNLESS the system gets unstable due to overclock.
In theory, you should be able to just turn on XMP and forget it, enjoying 3000 mhz speed for the rest of PC's life. In practice, as Blackbird already mentioned, it's not always so easy and sweet. XMP may fail, and then you have two options: try to overclock it manually; or send back ram you got and try with another piece (might even be same model but different unit will work).
