ASUS Maximus VI Hero Z87 Motherboard Review

Oh my Hero!

The Z87 series keeps on trucking along and with this ASUS offers yet another ROG piece to the game with the newly released Maximus VI HERO. The Hero looks very much like a Formula from the Z77 line but without the WiFi or the Liquid cooled VRM and knowing now all of the different models available through the ROG line I am very interested in the innovations included in this board and where exactly it falls into the stack in terms of ROG Z87?s.

You know every time I see this name I think the motherboard is supposed to be MicroATX in size and carrying a sword while walking in winged shoes.  Imagine my surprise to find a full sized motherboard supporting the latest Haswell based processors.

But, only the K brand since if you buy a Hero you will want to champion games and benchmark scores for all time.
