ASUS Maximus VII Hero Or ASUS Maximus VI Formula

[Anonemesis]

The formula VI is only $5 more refurbished is it worth it or is the VII hero better?

And the Formula is really overpriced, for...what exactly?

Go for the Maximus Hero VII!

The Formula is good if you plan on heavy water cooling, (mobo, CPU and other), for the price differential go the Hero, I've got both the Z87 and Z97 and as far as OCing, do better than many using custom loops with mine both air cooled. Have basics of both in sig

Well the difference in this case is $5...so is the hero better just based on price or performance?

I think this includes your situation.

If you sink a lot of money into a custom loop, you might get better performance out of the Formula, question is, is it worth the extra big bucks for a minimal gain?

Great mobos get that, the Z87 was the first model for the Hero and turned out to be the best selling and best rated - the Z97 is even much improved
