hi

is there a motherboard that can use both on board and graphics card.

So that the card is only used for games and onboard for general windows, or sommin like this?

in order to save energy, lower heat and sound emmision from the computer?

is there a product like this?

Yes. Hybrid SLi. The Nvidia 7000 (not 700i) chipset uses this. Unfortunately its Micro-ATX only.

I don't think there is anything like this for intel. I would also not recomend this setup because i dont know alot of info about this. However this is the best setup you will get using a phenom and a 780g chipset.
