The Phase Lock Loop circuitry is part of the processor. The digital and analog supply voltages for the circuit are supplied from the board.
Normally increasing the PLL voltage only helps with the CPU FSB wall. Who knows why. Possibly an apparent reduction in jitter by increasing the voltage? But anyway what you will usually see is once PLL needs to be increased the processor has pretty much reached the end of the road as to much more of an increase of FSB can be tolerated.
