Asus ROG MAXIMUS Hero vs Code

[Alexskalski]

Hello, I am purchasing a new motherboard for a new I7 9700k and need some advice on the difference between either of the boards. If anyone has any experience with either, please share

If you don't know the differences then chances are you don't need the more expensive one that offers some more features. No point in paying more for things you don't know about.

I have the code and it offers many more USB ports on the i/o. I believe the hero has less USB ports but it does have a DP and ps2 port which the code does not. Plus they are aesthetically different.

don't get an asus mobo, shit vrms, bad quality components, get an msi, or gigabyte (avoid asrock for low to mid end, even their high tier ones are pretty meh)
