I've been reading the excellent ROG guide to study up on Skylake extreme overclocking. I'm a bit unsure about the PLL termination voltage. Do you guys see any gains from increasing it significantly? More specifically, gains when trying to improve stability at lower temperatures. I don't really care about the BCLK overclocking capabilities.

    Where is the option I don't have Skylake/haven't tested it on cold yet? :D

     

    BTW,

    I heard it depends from CPU, some like 1.5, others 1.8 and so on :)

    both my cpu's seems to be happy with 1.5.

     

    in my case:

    hard wall at 5.9ghz. 1.4pll term. 1.0 standby voltage

    wall lifts 6.3ghz 1.55pll term 1.35 standby voltage

     

    like the guide says the balance seems to be the important part not the height of the volt itself. felt like it didn't do much
