Which is better for 9900k Maximus X formula or Maximus XI hero
Hello.
I wonder which of the two motherboards is better for running 9900k processor.
I am currently Running A maximus XI hero with full costum waterloop from ek and a monoblock from EK. That means that VRM and CPU are both watercooler.
I also have in my possetion a Maximus X formula which has a VRM watercooler build in and in that case I would use EK EVO supremacy block for CPU.
So basicly I have both Maximus X formula and Maximus XI hero boards at me. Both boards have vrms watercooled.
Which of the boards is a better choice to keep using for 9900k overclocked to 5Ghz. I know there is some differences in VRM of both boards and this is why I am asking couse boards are Z370 and Z390 but one was kinda higher placed than another. I wanna keep the better one and sold second one until they still hold some value to them.

Dont know if this would apply to all z370 and z390 ,but my previous board x code needed 1.34v for a stable 5 ghz all core 0 avx offset. My xi extreme need 1.29 v. If it the same case for you i would stick with the most recent board.
