No, it's the fact that you picked a H67 board and then went to a K-processor, and picked out the meant-for-X58-based-boards 12GB RAM pack...
H67 boards are crippled in o/cing, no OC capability.
K-series processors have unlocked multipliers, which means O/C is very easy to do with a P67 or Z68-based board.
12GB of RAM has no usefulness for a LGA1155 processor, because you have an odd number of modules - it actually disables dual channel for extra RAM which most people will not need. Tri-channel DDR is only on LGA1366 i7's and X58 boards. Get 8GB (2x4GB modules) instead. Dude, I can find 16GB for $100 flat. It's a better deal than the RAM u picked out.
