Asus Sabretooth Z87 or Asus MAXIMUS VI HERO ?

[litwicki22]

Which board to buy? I dont plan OC. And Asus Sabretooth Z87 is more expensive than Asus Maximus VI Hero. Should i pay more for Sabretooth Z87 or just take cheaper Maximus VI HERO? I have rams:

Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2x4GB 1600MHz, DDR3, CL(9-9-9-24), XMP White (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)

Can somebody check if they will be compatible with Asus Maximus VI HERO ?

I'd get the maximus. I own the sabertooth and the plastic shrouds make it a PITA to swap gear.

You can check the memory compatibility on the Asus website. Just look up the mobo and check the compatibility.

The Asus Maximus VI Hero will be fine, and with the chosen memory.

I'm a member at the Asus forums, many Heros in there with issue's. Not sure if it's do to overclocking or what. Hardly ever see Sabretooth with an issue, Good question though!! PS Sabretooth is a good Gaming motherboard!!

and costs less.
PS:I am currently on a Maximus 7 Gene.
I was warned away from the Hero.

That's all I can remember at the moment.
It's a nice board..really
