Sandy Bridge 1155 H67 Overclock?

Was looking to put together a system with a 2500K series processor and an 1155 board with on board graphics.

Like this:
GA-H67A-UD3H

But looking at this thread it appears that the H67 chipset does not support 'performance tuning':

Does this mean no overclocking of a K series processor on this board or will Gigabyte have come up with some magic?

H67 is totally non overclockable, you can use a K version CPU but the only adavantage is the higher internal GPU clock.

Thanks.

Looks like a wait for the Z68 then if that ever sees the light of day.
