Asus Z87-Pro or Asus Maximus Hero

Bellaflica · Feb 21, 2014

Hey forum,
Looking for some opinions on which board is better and why. I'll be running a 4770k and a gtx 770 and mainly will be using the PC for gaming.
I know the hero has some additional features that are nice for gaming, but are these really noticeable?
I don't care for the wifi of the pro, but it is $50 cheaper than the hero.

The Asus Z87-PRO is all you'll need, the Hero just has ROG features, but both boards perform exactly the same with no noticeable difference, Spend the extra on something that has a noticeable difference, like a Graphics card.

Alright, thanks. Last thing, I could also get the GA Z87 UD4H for around $20 cheaper than the pro. I prefer the red color scheme of the UD4H, but don't know much else about it. Which one would you prefer and why?

Well I'd prefer the Gigabyte motherboard for several reasons, Just to list a few;

1) You don't have to play around with the bios to get your CPU working

2) It only supports 2-way SLI/Crossfire, whilst the Asus supports 4 way, so the money goes into other features.

3)I like the look of the UD4H better

4) For $20 less, and the features you spend more on for the Asus Z87 PRO, it isn't worth it unless you buy 3/4 cards.

I see, thank you for your time. I plan to run 1 video card now and likely 2 in the future, but no more than that, so it looks like I'll go with the gigabyte for better looks, price, and features.

thanks again!
