Placing an order with newegg tomorrow, and i'm not sure if i should get the Hero or the Extreme! I like the fact that the Extreme comes with all the bells and whistles however honestly i won't probably even put the board to extreme use. What would you guys choose? Any other mobo's worth looking at?
Get the Hero VI. The bells and whisltes that come with extreme are 100% useless. The OC panel is completely useless and the only reason they put it there is to try and justify that the extreme is overpriced.
The only reason to consider the extreme is , if you are going to use more than 2 graphic cards. If you are using 2 or less than 2 graphic cards, there is NO reason to go for the extreme. The extreme board is mainly targetted toward LN2 users for insane OCs.
If you are looking for alternatives, the MSI gaming gd75 motherboard is also very good.
