3570k - PLL

Hey guys,

 

my PC sometimes randomly crashes (loud sound error, freeze) and today it even totally shut down while being under load.

I think the Vcore on my 3570k is stable/enough, but I dropped the PLL down to 1.55V (from 1.8V). So my question now is what the PLL really does and what benefit you get by under-/overvolting the PLL. I've heard it's responsible for the block frequency or something?!

 

Thanks already and regards from Germany, Heizoel_Walther

Undervolting the PLL increases the lifespan, but higher voltages may be necessary when overclocking to the limits of your board
