Curious about the maximus VI hero.

I've been reading up on this motherboard and I'm super interested. It seems like the perfect motherboard for me, but I was wondering, will you be able to attach the ROG armor to it? That stuff looks so nice.

ROG Armor is only for the Formula, not for the Hero.

We're getting Hero now, and Formula 3 weeks later, right?

P.S. Hope Asus had step up program, so I can grab Hero now then upgrade to Formula later.

Is it the new name to replace maximus gene series ?

Nope, the Gene still exists 🙂

That's a shame. I'd spend the extra cash and get the formula but my case (600t) doesn't have the mounting holes for eatx board. I could probably fit it but it'd be hanging a little. Thank you.

I'm 99% sure you are right. As a matter of fact, I seem to remember seeing somewhere that even the Extreme is ATX form factor now instead of E-ATX. Could be wrong there though.
