To get the "most" from your Intel Core 2 series processor and DDR2 memory, the MSI P35 Platinum offers a reasonably-high 600 MHz maximum front-side-bus clock (FSB 2400). It also features the chipset's full set of FSB to DRAM memory ratios, and an extremely wide range of voltage settings at fine increments.

An early-stepping Core 2 Duo E6700 processor capable of speeds up to 3.46 GHz reached a reasonably-close 3.44 GHz on the P35 Platinum, but dropping its multiplier to 6x only allowed the board to reach a stable 390 MHz. This is far less than the class-leading overclock of its DDR3 sibling MSI P35 Diamond.
