[UD3R, Rev. 1.0] What is the setting for CPU PLL?
« on: September 25, 2010, 10:48:28 am »
Hi...

At the moment, the CPU PLL voltage in the BIOS F6 is set to 1.800V. Is this a normal voltage setting? You may find the specs of my system at my signature.

By the way, I found a new feature in F6, i.e. "USB3.0 Port Hi-Speed Route" [EHCI] or [XHCI]. Which option should I choose? At the moment I set it to "EHCI".

Thanks.

Hi onemilimeter
EHCI is the usual version for use with USB at the present but the new XHCI is the very latest out. I can't profess to know a lot about it but it might be better for the USB3 ports.
From what I have been able to dig out your PLL seems fine.  Intel recommends no more than 1.88V.  That doesn't necessarily mean that any more will damage your chip but that you won't see any benefit from going any higher.
