Noted, there are subtle distinctions between these two motherboards. Which one offers better value? Intel i7 8700 (non K) with RTX 2060 at 2666MHz RAM.

Both options lack a VRM heat sink, making it reasonable to lower the clock speeds on a 6-core i7. Consider investing more in the motherboard.

They're often used for boosting performance, but not always necessary. Your setup might not require them for overclocking.

For consistent performance, you'll also need heat sinks to maintain stable power on high-demand CPUs. The 8700 model demands significant power, featuring a boost clock of 4.3 across all cores.

This link points to a product page on Amazon. It appears to be for an ASROCK Pro4 1151 DVI display.

Thanks to its generous heat sink and additional VRM stages, it already seems like a superior option.
