FEEDTHEADDICTION Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Quick question: When something is set to auto in bios (say vtt for example, or vcore), is that another way of saying "I will adapt automatically to other voltages and frequency" or "I will automatically adjust to stock processor specs"?? Basically, If I only change memory and frequency and their ratios, will the auto settings in the voltages and memory timings change to support the values I input, or the values flashed in each component from the factory??? Will auto take VID or actual Vcore in account? If u change one volatage or 2, can the others keep up in auto, or must a complete manual adjustment be made?

Verran Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Auto=default. That's all. I've never heard of 'auto' settings being adaptive to other settings you use. I just don't think the BIOS is that smart. I've always just taken it to mean default. Also, everyone makes a huge deal about not using Auto settings, but I'm here to tell you from personal experience that it's not that bad. I do it all the time. I do recommend to use a hard setting whenever you know what it should be, but if you don't know what it should be, you can do just as much harm as good by switching off of Auto.

Praz Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I've never heard of 'auto' settings being adaptive to other settings you use. I just don't think the BIOS is that smart. Some Biostar boards adjust voltages when set to auto. The values are almost always excessive though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
