Can you overclock a 2600K and still use the integrated igp?

Well theoretically yes... but the motherboards that allow overclocking (P67) don't use the IGP, and the boards that use the IGP (H67) don't allow overclocking.
 
Wait im confused. I mean can I just buy a 2600K and mobo, overclock the 2600K cpu to say 4.5 GHZ plus like anyone else, but just use the igp built in as my videocard until I get another discrete one with no problems? I dont mean overclock the igp.

The P67 chipset doesn't support the use of the IGP, so P67 boards do not have a video output.

Z68 is LGA 2011 though I'm pretty sure... gonna have to wait until second half of 2011 for those.

Nope :).

There is a third member of the 6-series family that will begin shipping in Q2: Z68. Take P67, add processor graphics support and you’ve got Z68. It’s as simple as that. Z68 is also slated to support something called SSD Caching, which Intel hasn’t said anything to us about yet. With version 10.5 of Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology drivers, Z68 will support SSD caching. This sounds like the holy grail of SSD/HDD setups, where you have a single drive letter and the driver manages what goes on your SSD vs. HDD. Whether SSD Caching is indeed a DIY hybrid hard drive technology remains to be seen. It’s also unclear whether or not P67/H67 will get SSD Caching once 10.5 ships.

You can use it, just not while overclocking. I guess the idea is that people who want the best integrated graphics (the 2600K has a better IGP than the other SKUs) don't care about overclocking, and the people who overclock aren't going to use integrated graphics.

Whats the point of including the igp if you can't use it when you buy the 2600K?

the 2600k is to run stock on a H67, then you can use the igp.

The 2600 (non k) can be put on the P67 to be OC'd.

Intel just made a confusing as all hell naming structure.

Most of what I've read is a 2-6MHz overclock on the base clock. At best that's going to be 3.6GHz for a 3.4GHz 2600K.

I'm not talking about working the base clock, I am talking multis :)

I am looking for the link now

Edit: NM, I was incorrect, this was the link I glanced over a few days back: Link. I had already purchased a P67 board, so I didn't pay the closest attention to it.

Interesting if someone found some workaround... I wasn't aware of any way to adjust the multi on an H67 board as of yet. I'd love to see the link if you can find it :).

EDIT to respond to edit above: Ahhh, no worries... would have been nice though!

So let me get this straight. There are going to be a total of three chipsets for LGA1155?

H67 - Has IGP but no overclocking.

P67 - No IGP but allows overclocking.

Z68 - Has both IGP and overclocking (via FSB, rather than just multiplier??)

Also, if Z68 is due soon...how come we have heard so little about it/nothing was shown at CES?

Wrong.

P67 chipsets can OC but have no IGP support at all.

H67 can't but has IGP support.

Z68 chipset (due soon) will have IGP and allow overclocking.

I have heard somewhere that you might be able to OC on an H67 a little later as bios releases will add multiplier tweaking a little bit.

Okay now I am getting confused. There has been NO info about this Z chipset???

I am about to drop a dime on a maximus IV and then there is speak of a X58 like Z northbridge??

C'mon share it folks haha

No, there's a Z68 which enables oc'ing AND IGP on one chipset. I posted the link to info 3 times already in this thread...

So if you're not interested in IGP (i.e. you only ever plan to use a discrete graphics card/cards) then there's no benefit to waiting for the Z68?
