Msi MPG Edge AC or Msi mpg Gaming pro carbon? (z390)

[thisuseralreadyexists]

At my local microcenter they are selling the pro carbon for 199$ and the edge ac for 179. Which one should i get? From what i saw they are almost identical in terms of specs but the edge comes with the wifi adapter and its 20$ cheaper. I intend on Overclocking an 8700k on it.

just looked at them and don't see a hill of beans between them, i'd go with the Edge for the wireless capability

Thats what I'm thinking. The 20$ extra I guess is for the m.2 heatsink and flashier lighting right?

that heatsink, if it's the same as the one on mine, is not even a heatsink - it's made of stainless steel which doesn't transfer heat very well, and then to make sure it kept the heat captured about 50% of the "heatsink" is covered with about a 1/16" thick layer of polymer, part of the aesthetic design

I left mine off. But so you know, my MSI board is rock solid stable - absolute zero issues, and this is after having gone thru 2 gig boards with weak BIOS chips, and an asrock taichi that fried itself and my cpu when i flashed the latest BIOS
