So I plan to be overclocking my build, and figured that I would like to get a OC panel. Asus is the only maker of oc panels to my knowledge, so I was looking at the asus maximus vi hero (everyones favorite it seems 😀). When I was looking at the Asus oc panel, I noticed that it did not fully support the hero. Any thoughts on
1. If I need to change from Hero for panel features (and if those missing features are worth it).
2. If there is another oc panel that I don't know about that I should get.
3. If there is anything that I should change to save money on my build 😀 (generic, i know, but always worth mentioning 😀)
My build:

The Hero has presets for OCing to 4.6 and chances are good the particular 4770K you get won't be able to go much if any higher than that. You can use the presets to see what all changes from stock to 4.2, to 4.4, to 4.6 (if your CPU can do 4.6) and use those changes made for guidance in trying to go higher - saw this add on in your other thread, but just figured you already had looked into it, think I'd just bypass it, don't really think worth $100
