ASUS SVID Behavior Settings

[cleric_warlock]

New to CPU overclocking and trying to figure out the related jargon. I know SVID refers to how the system controls the CPU's voltage-frequency curve, but I'm having a hard time finding a sufficiently detailed explanation of all of the options. My system is currently set to "Auto" by default and things have been fine – the real questions I have are what do "Auto", "Best-Case Scenario", "Typical Scenario", "Worst-Case Scenario", "Intel's Fail Safe", and "Trained" all specifically mean and which one is the best to have on for a manual CPU overclock that will be making use of adaptive voltages? Please respond with as much specificity as possible.

 

Update:

 

I really overcomplicated this setting in my head when I was first looking into it. Best case is generally an undervolted V/F profile unless you won the silicon lottery, typical is middle of the road, and worst case is usually overvolting unless you have bad silicon. My guess is that "trained" is an AI thing that automatically recalibrates the V/F curve accordingly if there are crashes.

 

Auto sets the V/F profile to worst case scenario. This is big. I really wish ASUS had called this out somewhere obvious. I got a bsod on best case, but my system worked fine on typical which ended up cutting 10C off my temps compared to the auto (worst case) default. If you have an ASUS motherboard it is crucial that you experiment with the SVID Behavior settings because your cpu may be overvolted by default and you may have much more overclocking headroom than you realize.
