I know there are like a million other posts exactly like this and they all come to the conclusion that the Formula is a rip off, but I just can't shake the feeling that it must have at least a few more features than the Hero or be better than the Hero in some ways. Other than the water cooling support and the better aesthetics, are there no other selling points than those? It seems like $100+ extra is too much to ask for only that. Does it at least have a better BIOS or better I/O ports or something? My use case is overclcoking(with water cooling down the road) and gaming. I just want to make sure that I'm not missing out on anything too big by opting for the Hero.
Thanks in advance.

HERO. HERO will still give you very good overclocks like 4.7-5.0 with a good chip.

Personally I went with the VII Formula, and I have yet to look back, looks amazing, does everything every other board does, and did I mention looks amazing.
If you're comparing the two, odds are you're wanting the looks of the Formula at the cost of the hero...

DO NOT SETTLE YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY. I first ordered the hero, then returned the same day lol
Save up your cash and buy the formula
