H67 doesn't prevent you from using discrete video adapters. It does prevent you from full-range multiplier overclocking "K" processors however.

i can finally toss my hat into this ring since i have (most) of my parts. ill drop some pics when i have it all assembled and working
case: Raidmax Hummer (may take this back for the cheap darkfleet or something)
CPU: i5 2500k (once i get privvy to overclocking ill probably keep it oc'ed at 4.0)

Speakers: just some cheap speakers i found with a little subwoofer to stick under my desk
Mouse: Razer Naga
Keyboard: right now just a standard PoS keyboard i found at best buy when my laptop keyboard stopped working. aspiring to pick up a Logitech G510
pretty standard midrange pc with some enthusiast level parts. hopefully should last me a few years till i need to do some serious upgrades

The cpu performance is....amazing. So happy I didn't buy an i7-950 and waited till SB was out. Considering a future upgrade of 6950 CF and an SSD for WoW and Windows.
I'm also a reviewer at a Belgian Hardware site. Getting a Steelseries 7G next week. Can't wait to test my first mechanical keyboard
Only 4.0? Why not 4.8+?CPU: i5 2500k (once i get privvy to overclocking ill probably keep it oc'ed at 4.0)

Because of the Gods of overkill will smite you?
Edit: Or because 4.0 looks prettier than 4.8.
idk either work.

Around 10% of the chips are capable of reaching 5ghz+ on air, so overkill would be more like 5.5ghz. Hell there's even reports of a handful of chips running at 5.5ghz on air, I'm not kidding!
The really strange thing is, stuff like liquid nitrogen cooling has resulted in worse overclocks than liquid/air. The "ideal" working temperature seems to be around 0-20 degrees C (extremely strange since cooling a chip should reduce resistances and increase it's speed). Previous generations of CPU's could reach insane overclocks at -150 degrees under nitrogen. It's like the cooling mechanics work backwards on Sandy Bridge.
