Model Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W

CPU +Ultra 5 245K

  • Ready for advanced AI workloads with Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU
  • Stable power from 12+1+2+1 80A DrMOS stages and 6-layer PCB
  • DDR5 memory up to 9066 MT/s over four slots with 256 GB max
  • PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot plus three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots all cooled
  • Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 Gbps LAN, rear USB 20 Gbps Type-C and front 30 W fast-charge

Socket LGA 1851 platform

This bundle pairs an ASUS Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K processor. The board uses the Intel Z890 chipset and fits the LGA 1851 socket. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 256 GB and offers PCIe 5.0 graphics and storage lanes. The CPU delivers 24 MB L3 cache and 26 MB L2 cache on a 125 W base power profile.

AI-ready builders versus budget seekers

The combination targets enthusiasts building advanced AI PCs who need Thunderbolt 4 headers, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 Gb LAN and four M.2 slots with heatsinks. The robust 12+1+2+1 80 A DrMOS power stage design suits heavy multi-threaded workloads. Users who only need basic office or light gaming performance should consider a lower-tier chipset and a less expensive processor.

DDR5 9066 MT/s ceiling

The memory controller tops out at 9066 MT/s when overclocked, which determines the fastest DDR5 kits the system can run stably. Four 288-pin slots allow up to 256 GB total capacity in dual-channel mode. Builders planning high-frequency memory must verify kit compatibility with the board QVL to reach this limit.

Questions about this item

How warm and loud does the 12+1+2+1 80A DrMOS power stage run under an all-day 125 W load?

The 12+1+2+1 80A DrMOS stages on a 6-layer PCB feed the 125 W Core Ultra 5 245K efficiently; large VRM heatsinks plus Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II keep temperatures and fan noise low during sustained workloads.

Which DDR5 memory kit and CPU cooler must I already own to install the Core Ultra 5 245K?

You need a DDR5 kit up to 9066 MT/s (OC) in the 288-pin slots and an LGA 1851-compatible cooler because the processor ships without one.

Will my PCIe 4.0 graphics card and SATA SSDs work at full speed in the second x16 slot and the four 6 Gb/s ports?

Yes — the chipset provides two PCIe 4.0 x16 slots wired at x4 and x1 plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, so older GPUs and SATA drives run at their rated bandwidth.
