Maximus VI Formula worth $100 more than Hero?

jheiges · Aug 16, 2013

Asus ROG website states that, "there’s no mPCIe Combo II card with WiFi, Armor, CrossChill or OC Panel bundled." Is this really worth the extra $100 in price? If I wont be using WiFi then this is more or less just a $100 increase for aesthetics correct?

Is there anything else I am missing that is in the Formula that is not included with the Hero? I would love to hear some other peoples opinions.

Thanks in advance,
Heiges

The Formula just has all the bells and whistles, if they are things you won't use then get the cheaper board

Hi there.
Sorry I'm a little late to this post, but I think the extra $100 is for looks and those "extra tidbits." I am currently finalizing a build that has the VI Formula, but I'm sort of in a toss up between that and the VI Hero, which is nearly the same. If you ended up buying it, could you tell us how it worked out? Did you like it? Also, (this is a bit of a stretch) do you by chance have the Corsair 600t? I heard that the Formula's Armor makes it really difficult to fit the I/O Shield to the Corsair case. I only ask because this is the case I want, and it's a pretty popular case.
Thanks

Big item is the built in watercooling setup, I went with the Hero and don't regret it for a minute, the Hero has taken all I've thrown at it, which is a lot, I use it to test components for new builds, upgrades and possible bad components when doing repair wrk,,,great mobo, run mine at 4.6 24/7 with 32GB of 2666 Tridents
