Hi,

Can mini-itx H67 mainboard namely Gigabyte ones can they overclock using the multiplier?

No

No H67 board can overclock using the multiplier.

What does one do if he wants mini-itx and overclocking?

Ignore.

Use the P67 or Z68-based motherboards instead.

P67 if you use discrete graphics.

Z68 if you want integrated.

I can't find any Mini-itx P67 mainboards, can you give me a model number?

No idea.
Intel messed up imo.
You can't overclock the duals because there's no K series.
And you can't use mitx to overclock as it's h67.

Article below did mention the possibility of a P67 from Gigabyte, but not seen anything yet:

Fortunately, Gigabyte has more than one Mini-ITX motherboard in the works for Sandy Bridge. A P67-based model is on the way that will drop the display outputs in favor of CPU overclocking support. Naturally, you'll need to run a discrete graphics card with that particular model. We don't have much in the way of additional details on the P67 offering, but the H67 version should be ready by the end of the month.

I think they figured that not many people would want to overclock a mini-ITX system, and I think they're probably right.

The same thing seems to apply to micro-ATX boards - the vast majority of them are H67 as they obviously think more people will want the integrated graphics than the overclocking ability.

Pretty sure there will be itx offerings in the Z68 chipset.

Well, here's hoping there's some official announcements on May 8th then

A 125W TDP CPU will be pushing any of the currently available AM3 mini ITX motherboards AFAIK as most are rated at 95W. If you are going the mini-ITX route I would be looking at lower TDP processors TBH!
