There are plenty of reviews for this board available from a brief Google search. I hope you find the below information useful.

Quote:
The FSB can be set from 200 MHz (default) to 400 MHz. CPU voltage can be set from 0.8v-1.4v or can be set to be up to 23.3% above the default core voltage. The K9A Platinum supports DDR2 400, 533, 667, 800 MHz. Memory voltage can be set from 1.8V to 2.3V.

Overclocking the K9A Platinum is a breeze and a joy. I was able to successfully overclock the board to a 310MHz HTT speed, and a 10% overclock on the CPU speed. 10% isn't much but is limited by the CPU, not the board. Memory overclocking was set to 1034 MHz, a nice increase over the 800 MHz default setting.
