Which is better for 9900k Maximus X formula or Maximus XI hero

Ajinta

Hello

I wonder which of the two motherboards is better for running 9900k processor.

 I am currently Running A maximus XI hero with full costum waterloop from ek and a monoblock from EK. That means that VRM and CPU are both watercooler.

I also have in my possetion a Maximus X formula which has a VRM watercooler build in and in that case I would use EK EVO supremacy block for CPU.

So basicly I have both Maximus X formula and Maximus XI hero boards at me. Both boards have vrms watercooled.

Which of the boards is a better choice to keep using for 9900k overclocked to 5Ghz. I know there is some differences in VRM of both boards and this is why I am asking couse boards are Z370 and Z390 but one was kinda higher placed than another. I wanna keep the better one and sold second one until they still hold some value to them.

M11 Hero is better, or rather less bad, than the M10 Formula. Note that even the cheapest X570 board from Asus, the X570-P. has the same VRM as the M11 Hero.
