    u can overclock it remember its "k series" kinda like the 980"X" which is unlocked and kinda like the 875k

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    Yeah I know that, so what's the point of the non-K version?

    If somebody wants to actualy use the IGP in the chip, he'll need a H67 mobo. And those don't allow overclocking, as far as I heard. So might just as well save those 11$, if you are getting a cheaper board too.

    (If somebody has more accurate info on H67 OC please share, I heard there won't be any memory multpliers either - when it would make sense for the IGP?)
