formula VIII OR HERO IX old high end or new mid?

[Kr00n]

hi there is better to go for high end old mobo or go for mid end of the new mobo hero IX?

i would like to overclock so im going for an expensive mobo is worth it to spend such a money or is a bad decision and cheaper mobo can do the job with same capabilities.

I´m trying to build a pc to play games with 1000-1200 pounds, i don´t mind about leds at all, my concerns are mobo, cpu and gpu future proof, optane tech, 16 gb ram, and monitor 144mhz (i will appreciate recommendation about it)

The MSI pro carbon seems to be the oc budget king. Plenty of power phases to provide stable power.

High end motherboards are often pointless, they offer silly little features and some fancy lighting, then hike up the price by $100+

Go for a strix z270e or a z270a prime.

The hero just had a couple of features that aren't necessary whatsoever.

Z270-A Prime, Z270 Ultra Gaming, Z270-UD3, Z270 TUF MARK 2, Z270X Gaming 3 and the Z270-H Strix, are all good boards.

Pick as the solution"

I´m completely agree but the formula have cooling system included, that is more than just few life for the stage or at least sound good to a rookie like me, is not need of this even if I´m decided to do OC?

I like this mobo you recommend me Stapler gun and Chugalug "Asus ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING" have almost the same connectors and sound drivers than the hero IX.

Forgot to Mention the Z270 Pro4.
What do you mean it has a cooling system included?
What are you talking about?
The Z270-E Gaming is the absolute highest I would go.

sorry i didnt explain myself properly, i mean the formula have the chance to be cool down with coling system is that worth it?

It may look cool, but it doesn't provide any more features, if you want clean RGB looks for a reasonable price, the Asus STRIX Z270-H is a good in between.
