CPU timers 0 and 1 are connected to PLLSYSCLK. Timer 2 is connected to PLLSYSCLK by default, but can also be connected to INTOSC1, INTOSC2, XTAL, FLC1/2 PUMPOSC or CRUDEOSC using the TMR2CLKCTL register. This register also provides a separate prescale divider for timer 2. If a source other than PLLSYSCLK is used, the frequency must be at least twice the source frequency to make sure of correct sampling. Each CPU has independent CPU timers and TMR2CLKCTL register.
The main reason to use a non-SYSCLK source is for internal frequency measurement. In most applications, timer 2 runs off of the SYSCLK.
