What's the difference between "Auto" and "Enabled" in UEFI/BIOS settings?

[donalgodon]

Settings like Core performance boost have options like "Disabled" or "Auto" or "Enabled"

What's the difference between "Auto" and "Enabled" in UEFI/BIOS settings?

I don't know know...but I would guess auto can apply or not some setting...maybe dependent on other settings according to some rules...

Enabled or disabled will apply yes or no independent of other variables

In many cases auto and enabled would seem to be synonymous but I presume sometimes not...

OP what Arne said 😉 .

For example lets take Core Performance Boost, [Auto] without OC is [Enabled], when you OC it's [Disabled].

Note: CPB [Auto] will be [Enabled] if OC is using a Performance Enhancer Preset, as this type of OC is tinkering with PB/XFR "algorithm".

Disaabled=Self Explanatory.....if not turn back now and do not change any settings
Auto=Enabled with optimized values for regulation (exacctly who calls it optomized can be questionable at times)
Enablled=Enabled but you will find another setting that allows the user to define regulation values.

Auto does not default to enabled in all cases. MIskew auto = disabled.
