The Difference ?

[Sgt.Noli]

What is the difference between the Asus Maximus VII Hero and Gene ?

And which one is ''better''?

Thanks for your answers:)

Size mainly, the Gene is Micro ATX.

 

If you have a full ATX case get the Hero IMO, more space around the PCIE slots is always a plus.

Hero is ATX whereas Gene is Micro ATX ie. Gene is smaller in size. You will find it easier to fit more than one Graphic Card in Hero. Otherwise both of them are pretty much same.

They have the same primary features, whereas the Gene is a smaller form factor being MATX, while the Hero is a regular ATX. You won't have as much space for adding as much expansion cards on the Gene as you will on the Hero due to the Gene having less PCIe slots.

Ok thanks

Maximus IIV Hero is more of an ATX board with one more PCE X16 (phisicly) Slot an being slightly larger

 

 

Maximus IIV Gene is more optimized for slightly small formfactor builds by being an mATX, slightly short and having on PCIe X1 Slot

 

 

 

other than that exactly the same
