Is anyone aware of any issues/downsides of running a Sandy Bridge i5 2500K on an H67 board?
Some info for context:
- I'm planning on building a dual monitor, quiet, development rig.
- I have no plans to do any overclocking.
- I have no plans to do any gaming on the rig ( if that changes I'll add a dedicated card)
The reason I'm looking at the K CPU is that it comes with the 3000 version of the integrated GPU, rather than the 2000 on the other i5s. This is important to me because I want to take advantage of the H67 chipsets ability to support dual monitors using the integrated GPU.
Some downsides that I am aware of:
- The 2500K is a great overclocking CPU but by pairing with an H67 chipset I lose the abilty to take advantage of that

Answering primarily for the benefit of future searchers.
It would appear there are no downsides known to the community other than those outlined in the question.
