Ready for Advanced AI PCs

The ASUS PRIME Z890-P WIFI motherboard paired with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU targets builders who want a platform prepared for demanding AI workloads. The LGA 1851 socket accepts Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) and the Z890 chipset unlocks the connectivity required for modern acceleration tasks. This combination delivers the compute headroom and I/O breadth that advanced AI applications demand from a desktop foundation.

PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 lane distribution

The processor provides one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one M.2 slot at PCIe 5.0 x4, while the chipset adds two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots running at x4, one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot at x1, and two further M.2 slots at PCIe 4.0 x4. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports remain available for traditional storage. Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C on the rear panel and a front-panel USB 10Gbps Type-C header extend high-speed peripheral options without saturating the primary GPU or storage lanes.

Robust power and thermal layout

Fourteen plus one plus one plus two 80A DrMOS power stages feed the CPU through ProCool connectors on a six-layer PCB with alloy chokes and durable capacitors. Large VRM heatsinks, dedicated M.2 and PCH heatsinks, and hybrid fan headers managed by Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II keep temperatures in check. Onboard Wi-Fi 7 with ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna, 2.5Gb Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.4 handle networking, while 7.1 surround audio with shielding covers output needs.

Questions about this item

Which memory speed should I pick for this DDR5 board?

The board supports up to 8666 MT/s when overclocked and runs dual-channel with four 288-pin slots, so choose a kit rated for the highest speed your budget allows.

What does the 125 W CPU rating mean for my cooler choice?

The Core Ultra 5 245K has a 125 W base power and no cooler in the box, so select a CPU cooler rated for at least 125 W TDP.

What bandwidth does the Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port provide?

The rear Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port provides high-speed data, video and charging over a single connection.
