Posted September 9, 2016 I'm biased towards the Asus, since I had the Hero Alpha, which I'm currently no longer using. So the Hero is my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 9, 2016 Well, it's a solid built board. Its not "alpha armored" asus, but it runs like a dream. Built a similar one for a friend when he saw mine. Just 1 1070 and 1 950Pro in his setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 1 1070 and 1 950Pro in his setup Some sites score it slightly lower in overall performance than the Hero, but nothing worrying. Granted it was an older review done in November of 2015. BIOS updates might have rectified those missing 2-3FPS. Shame they don't re-test. i7 6700K @ Stock (Yes I know) ~~~ Corsair H80i GT ~~~ GIGABYTE G1 Gaming Z170X Gaming 7 ~~~ G.

I personaly would go with the Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
