Well… the asus maximus vii hero IS the best z97 motherboard but still isnt gd for SLI since the space between the cards will be very small wich will stop airflow… but you can still take care of that in multiple ways...

The MSI GD-65 w/ 4790k usually runs about $60 cheaper than the Hero VII in newegg combos ...but MoBo is $35 cheaper. Te Hero is a fine board, but it's not a fine $205 board .... it's a fine $175 board. Above $250, I use strictly Asus .... from $150 - $250, since Z77 series, MSI has had the better lineup. There are many great RoG Boards (M6F for example) that are worth their price, but having build with both, I don't see that ya just don't get anything extra for ya $35 other than the RoG logo.

-Same Feature List
-Same quality Components
-MSI is Mil Spec
-Asus has better BIOS
-MSI has lower Return rates

One important point.... if ya read the newegg reviews you will see that Hero VII owners are being afflicted by the same BIOS clock freeze big that hit all their Z87 boards. You can read about the problem in newegg reviews .... and on Asus Forums ..... See 1st post here:

There's good dozen threads on the subject. .... Hopefully they will soon release a BIOS fix .... one was announced on June 11 but hasn't been released yet.
