I plan on getting an i5 6600k with a NH-D15 to cool it and use overclocking as a way to extend the usable life of it. I can get them at basically the same price so with is better? I have read all of the specs on the site but they both seem to fit my needs just fine (sata ports PCI-E lanes etc) but if anyone has some more in depth knowledge that'd be great.

Hero have 1 more M.2 socket, Better Audio Chpset, more usb 3 header, better VRM phase (10 'hero' vs 8 'pro'). But the pro have higher memory speed support, this isnt very useful, so hero better
