Good description!
If you look into uhd/host/lib/usrp/dboard/dboard_ubx.cpp (I think), you
should find that the constructor looks through all the rates the
motherboard (X310 in your case) has to offer and picks the highest one
that works with your UBX. That'd be 25 MHz for the 0. revision of the
UBX, and 50 MHz for any after that (which you extremely likely have).
Best regards,
Marcus
