Z890 micro-ATX motherboard with Core Ultra 7 265K

This bundle pairs the ASUS PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI board with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor. The LGA 1851 socket and Z890 chipset support the latest Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 256 GB of memory running at 8666 MT/s when overclocked. The micro-ATX form factor fits compact builds while keeping full connectivity.

Installation notes for the Z890 board

The CPU drops into the LGA 1851 socket without a cooler in the box, so a separate solution must be sourced before first boot. Memory installs in the four 288-pin DDR5 slots and the board supports XMP and AEMP III profiles for automatic tuning. One PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and three M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0, two PCIe 4.0) are keyed to prevent misalignment. ProCool power connectors and clearly labelled front-panel headers reduce wiring errors.

Sustained-load behaviour of the 125 W processor

The Core Ultra 7 265K runs at a 125 W base power with 30 MB L3 and 36 MB L2 cache to keep data close during long workloads. On the motherboard, 10+1+2+1 80 A DrMOS power stages feed the CPU through a six-layer PCB with alloy chokes and durable capacitors. Large VRM and PCH heatsinks, hybrid fan headers and Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II manage thermals over extended sessions. Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 Gbps LAN and a USB 20 Gbps Type-C port with DP Alt mode maintain throughput without throttling.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the AI Cooling II feature is active after building the system?

Enter the BIOS and open the Fan Xpert 4 utility where AI Cooling II runs a calibration cycle and then displays an active status badge once fan curves are optimised.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this combination?

The box contains the PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI motherboard and the Core Ultra 7 265K processor; a CPU cooler, DDR5 memory modules, storage drives, graphics card, power supply and chassis are not included.

Should I choose the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot or one of the PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots for the primary operating system drive?

Use the single PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for the OS drive to gain the highest sequential throughput; the two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots are ideal for additional game or data volumes.
