Hey guys, I need a motherboard for my awesome gaming PC, and I was just wondering what you guys thought would be a better MOBO...
The Asus Maximus IV Formula
or the Asus Maximus IV Hero
 
Solution
Hero

The Formula has an extra PCI-E 3.0 slot in case you want triple SLI/CF, the Hero has only two.

The formula has has a couple extra USB ports and SATA ports, but the Hero has enough for most.

Also the Formula has RAM disc software, but you can get it free off the internet.

In short, look at what the Formula has extra and if you need it.

Thanks! I am going with the Hero, I thought I should get the Formula because of the extra SLI slot for the future, but when I would need to upgrade to another graphics card I would probably get all new graphics cards and a new CPU, so the Hero is good enough for me now, Thanks!
