The P5N-E SLI supports a wide selection of frequencies far higher than any of the onboard components are actually capable of reaching. A broad-enough voltage range allows overclocking the majority of Core 2 and Pentium D processors to the limit while pushing most DRAM beyond its limit.

BIOS Frequency and Voltage settings (for overclocking)
Reaching 3450 MHz (345x10) at 1.50V on an E6700 typically capable of 3460 MHz sounds "close enough" to the limit, given that the P5N-E SLI has only three-phase CPU voltage regulation. Further testing at higher bus speeds using a lower multiplier wasn't possible because the multiplier control didn't work with this processor.

The P5N-E SLI includes only half the Ultra ATA and SATA cables supported by the board, but that's still enough for most builds. Asus supplements its light cable kit with a reasonably valuable added software pack, a case badge, and its Q-Connect easy front-panel cable connector kit.
The software includes Norton Internet Security Suites 2006 for Windows XP and 2007 for Windows Vista, Corel Snapfire 11SE, and assorted trial software and freeware.
The Asus P5N-E SLI retails for around $140 in online retail outlets.
