Okay, yeah some VRM controllers use external caps and/or resistors to set the frequency.

Lower frequencies will mean cooler MOSFETs and inductors, but more ripple and transients. Higher will mean more heat and a smoother output. But if your inductors get too hot, thermal runaway and everything dies.
