BIOS And Overclocking
One might expect the P6N-SLI to have similar overclocking to its "Platinum" sibling, and it certainly has all the same frequency and voltage options.

| BIOS Frequency and Voltage settings (for overclocking) | |
|---|---|
| FSB Frequency | 100 - 625 MHz (1 MHz) |
| Clock Multiplier Adjustment | Yes |
| DRAM Frequency | 400-1400 MHz Data Rate |
| PCIe Clock | 100-200 MHz (1 MHz) |
| CPU Vcore | Default - +0.3875 Volts (0.0125 Volts) |
| CPU FSB Voltage | Default, +2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 12%, 16%, 20% |
| Northbridge (SPP) | 1.20 - 1.35 - 1.50 Volts (0.025/0.05 Volts) |
| Southbridge (MCP) | 1.50 - 1.70 Volts (0.10 Volts) |
| DRAM Voltage | 1.800 - 2.800 Volts (0.05 Volts) |
| CAS Latency Range | |
| tCAS : 1-6 ; tRCD : 1-7 ; tRP : 1-7 ; tRAS : 1-31 ; Command Rate : 1T/2T |
While the P6N-SLI pushed the same 3460 MHz limit so often found on the tested E6700 at 1.50V, dropping the CPU multiplier to 6x only resulted in a maximum achievable bus speed of 375 MHz (FSB1500). Buyers with relatively high-multiplier processors probably won’t need a higher bus speed, but this low-cost board certainly wouldn’t drive most low-speed Core 2 Duos to their limits.

Once again we see a barely-there accessory kit similar to that of the ECS NF650iSLIT-A, but it seems appropriate since the P6N-SLI can be found for the same $115 online price.
