ASUS Z87 Motherboards - Overview, Guides and Official Support

With how I test, noise and interference as well as interchannel leakage is about 100x better(literally) on the HERO vs EX6, and HERO is better at audio reproduction, too. The EX6 is a few dB louder.

I haven't used the HERO too much, honestly, just while doing the review, so a couple of weeks. I definitely notice the difference between the two, but I'm kinda picky about sound..not in an audiophile way, but as a musician. So what's good to me, might not exactly be what you are looking for...but I can say that the noise difference(one of the main things I noticed) is HUGE.
