ATX board for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with 14+1+1+2 80A power stages, DDR5 to 8666 MT/s, PCIe 5.0 x16, four M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet
This ATX motherboard uses the LGA 1851 socket and Z890 chipset to support Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It targets builders who want a modern platform for AI workloads, high-speed storage and fast networking in a standard form factor.
Four 288-pin slots accept DDR5 from 4400 to 8666+ MT/s in dual-channel mode, with XMP 3.0 and AEMP III profiles. One M.2 slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x4 for 2280 or 22110 drives, while three additional M.2 slots provide PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports remain available for bulk drives.
The VRM uses 80A DrMOS stages, ProCool connectors, alloy chokes and durable capacitors on a six-layer PCB. Large VRM heatsinks, M.2 heatsinks and a PCH heatsink handle thermal load. Rear I/O includes a Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 7 with Q-Antenna, 2.5Gb Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.4. Realtek 7.1 audio reaches 24-bit/192kHz playback.

The board supports DDR5 speeds from 4400 up to 8666 MT/s through Intel XMP 3.0 profiles and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III, so most modern kits will run at their rated frequencies.
Yes, the single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is wired from the CPU and the four M.2 slots are positioned away from it, so a double-slot GPU does not block any M.2 slot.
The motherboard includes Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with an ASUS Q-Antenna and Bluetooth 5.4 for high-speed, low-latency wireless connectivity.
