What does advanced clock calibration do in the bios?

Setting up an older AMD Phenom build for retro games and there's an ACC option in the bios. Should I enable it, or leave it on auto?

it's an old AMD feature from the Phenom era. it was meant to help those chips overclock a bit further, and on some boards it was also how people unlocked the disabled cores on Phenom II / Athlon II chips. on anything modern it does nothing useful, leave it on auto.
