H67 and i5 (non K), What can you do?

Hi,

I currently have an ASUS H67 board (P8H67-i) with a Sandy Bridge Pentium (G840) and HD 7750 GPU.

I'm considering upgrading to an i5, not a K as I don't have the power or cooling overhead to overclock as this is slimline htpc.

Can anyone tell if what changes to the CPU can be made on the H67 boards? Most of the threads I've found are from the launch period and full of speculation and contradiction. I would like to know if the turbo multiplier is adjustable up or down for the number of active cores on the non-k chips, and if the voltages can be changed?

I'm specifically looking at the i5 3570T but if the regular chips could be down clocked and under volted to 3570T speeds that might be a better solution as they are cheaper and available? The other option could be a used i5 3570K if they can be multiplier adjusted down on the H67.

Cheers :)

non k means its got a locked multi so no clocking im afraid but then h67 doesnt support clocking anyway. The standard turbo boost will work as will speedstep to declock when idle but thats about your lot
 
A tiny PSU, which is why I'm looking at 3570T (45W TDP) but they seem as rare as rocking horse poo. S I thought if the H67 allowed manipulation of turbo freq and voltages I could get a regular i5 down to 3570T speeds and near 3570T power consumption (I bet the 3570Ts are cherry picked dies). Failing that a used 3570K would probably do a better job as they are the better dies too, and cheaper being used :)
