Difference between core voltage and pll voltage?

Hi, I curentlly have my core voltage set to 1.248 but by PLL voltage is left on auto and it's up at 1.94.

Should I also be setting this manually?

good luck having that last any length of time then

yeah it's a 2500k, so will lowering it do anything negative, I mean there must be a reason why it goes so high right?

Always thought CPU PLL - Auto was 1.8v on all SB motherboards?
It was on both the Asus boards I've used.

I messed about with it a while ago to see if lowering it caused instability.
Had it set to 1.5v ever since without a single problem.

If you look at various places about Sandy Bridge overclocking it recommends never to go above 1.9v for CPU PLL
