iGPU enabled / any advantages?

[p.b.]

Hello,
So i have a 7700k with onboard graphics. Is there any reason for having the iGPU enabled even without having an HDMI connected to it?

hardware encoding, but nearly any dedicated gpu will do it faster

So the system can use iGPU even if i am not using it (hdmi cable for monitor, etc)?


One more: What about temps? Will there be a noticeable difference between IGPU ON or OFF?

just keep it disabled in bios, any dedicated gpu will be stronger at everything

o - as the iGPU is not used, it will not produce any heat that you'll able to notice. You wont even notice a real heat improvement when you actually use it.
