ASUS Maximus IX Formula VS IX Hero

[Fumblemuck]

Hi there,

I'm in the midst of upgrading my system and planning on buying a motherboard when february comes. I've just seen that the new Maximus motherboards have been announced from ASUS, and was wondering what the difference is between these?

I have been comparing their exact specs on multiple sites, but cant see the big difference compared to the huge price difference.

EDIT: While we're at it, how do these compare to the "IX Code" motherboard? The price suggests that its in the middle of theo ther two, but again, I cant see the big differences.

It seems the formula has a water cooling cpu block. If you are planning to overlock or using water, maybe you want that one. If no, choose between the others. The hero seems to be a basic mother and the code (which is the one I'm going to buy) has a few minir improvements, and you can attach to it 2 led stripes. it's cool. Check if the hero has wifi or so. Code does. Good luck (sorry about my english xD I'm actually from argentina and almost nobody here (at least I meet) speaks in english xD)
