Intel LGA 1851 ATX motherboard

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-E GAMING WIFI is an ATX motherboard built for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) on the LGA 1851 socket. It uses the Intel Z890 chipset and targets enthusiasts who want advanced AI-ready features, extensive connectivity and robust power delivery in a full-size board. It supports DDR5 memory and includes integrated Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

18+2+1+2 power stages and DDR5 up to 8800 MT/s

The board delivers power through 18+2+1+2 stages rated at 110 A, 90 A, 90 A and 80 A with ProCool II connectors, alloy chokes and metallic capacitors. Four DDR5 slots support up to 256 GB and speeds up to 8800+ MT/s when overclocked, plus XMP 3.0, DIMM Flex and NitroPath DRAM technology for simplified tuning.

Suits AI-focused builders needing seven M.2 slots

This board fits builders who need three PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 5 Gbps LAN and SupremeFX 7.1 audio. Users with smaller cases or who only require a single M.2 drive and basic rear I/O should consider a more compact or entry-level Z890 model.

Questions about this item

What does the 18+2+1+2 power-stage design actually deliver for an Intel Core Ultra processor?

The board uses 18 stages rated at 110 A, two at 90 A, one at 90 A and two at 80 A, all fed through ProCool II connectors, MicroFine alloy chokes and premium metallic capacitors to keep voltage stable under heavy AI or gaming loads.

How fast can the Thunderbolt 4 ports move data and what charging do they support?

Each Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port runs at up to 40 Gbps and one of them provides up to 30 W Power Delivery for fast-charging phones or accessories.

Will a standard ATX case and CPU cooler clear the board's heatsink layout?

The motherboard follows the ATX form factor and uses a connected C-shaped heatpipe with massive heatsinks and an integrated I/O cover, so any ATX-compatible case and LGA 1851 cooler will fit.
