Model Z890I Nova WiFi

  • Supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors on LGA 1851 socket
  • 12+1+1+1+1 power phase design with 110A SPS for stable CPU delivery
  • Dual-channel DDR5 up to 9866+ MHz (OC) with XMP 3.0 support
  • PCIe 5.0 x16 slot plus three M.2 sockets including Gen5x4 and Gen4x4
  • Realtek ALC4082 7.1 CH HD Audio with Nahimic Audio and 5Gbps LAN

Compact Intel Z890 platform

The ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi fits an LGA 1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset into a Mini ITX board for Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It targets builders who need high-end features in a small chassis without sacrificing connectivity or power delivery. Two DDR5 slots and a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot keep the layout focused on essential performance.

Dual-channel DDR5 up to 128 GB

Two 288-pin slots run dual-channel DDR5 with native 6400 MT/s and XMP 3.0 profiles reaching 9866 MT/s when overclocked. The 128 GB ceiling gives headroom for heavy multitasking and content workloads, while the 1DPC 1R topology keeps signal integrity tight at extreme speeds. Beyond the validated XMP ceiling, stability depends on memory quality and cooling.

12+1+1+1+1 phase VRM with 20K capacitors

The 110 A per phase design and 1000 µF 20K black capacitors replace thinner power stages found on lesser ITX boards. The upgrade is worth it when pushing Core Ultra clocks past stock limits or sustaining all-core loads in a compact case. Integrated 5 GbE, dual Thunderbolt 4 and three M.2 slots — two Gen5 and one Gen4 — complete the I/O leap.

Questions about this item

Will the board run with my existing DDR5-6400 memory kit?

The board natively supports DDR5-6400 and can run higher speeds through XMP 3.0 profiles up to DDR5-9866+(OC).

How can I verify the 5 Gbps LAN and Thunderbolt 4 ports are active after build?

Check Device Manager for Realtek RTL8126CG 5GbE adapter and two Thunderbolt 4 controllers; run a 5 Gbps network test and connect a Thunderbolt device to confirm link speed.

What cables and accessories ship with the Z890I Nova WiFi?

The box includes 2 SATA cables, 2 M.2 screws, a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna kit and documentation.
