Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Builders who want a high-core-count CPU and a feature-rich Z890 platform for AI workloads, gaming and content creation will benefit from the NPU Boost and AI Overclocking tools. Users needing a smaller form factor or a lower power envelope should consider other options.

Capacity and Headroom

Four DDR5 slots support up to 256 GB of memory with DIMM Flex and AEMP III for easier tuning. Three M.2 slots from the CPU and four from the chipset provide extensive fast storage. The 18 plus 2 plus 1 plus 2 power stage design with 110 A, 90 A and 80 A ratings handles the 125 W processor comfortably.

Questions about this item

What DDR5 memory speed does the board support out of the box?

The board supports DDR5 up to 8800 MT/s when overclocked and uses AEMP III to optimise compatible modules automatically.

Can I keep my PCIe 4.0 graphics card and M.2 drives with this motherboard?

Yes — the CPU provides one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot that also runs PCIe 4.0 cards, and the chipset adds a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot plus two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots.

How do I confirm the NPU Boost feature is active after building the system?

Enter the UEFI BIOS, open the AI Overclocking section and verify that NPU Boost shows as enabled; the AI Advisor utility in Windows will also report NPU acceleration status.
