Model Z890 AORUS ELITE WF7 ICE

  • Supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors on LGA 1851 socket
  • 16+1+2 phase VRM with 80A smart power stages for stable delivery
  • Four M.2 slots including one PCIe 5.0 and three PCIe 4.0

LGA 1851 motherboard for Intel Core Ultra Series 2

The GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z890 chipset and the LGA 1851 socket. It targets enthusiasts assembling systems with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Four DDR5 slots and a 16+1+2 phase power design with 80A smart power stages provide a stable platform for high-performance computing.

DDR5 capacity up to 256 GB with XMP 3.0 headroom

Four 288-pin slots accept up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory running in dual-channel mode. Supported JEDEC speeds range from 5600 to 8400 MT/s while Intel XMP 3.0 profiles extend overclocked operation up to 9200 MT/s. The board comfortably handles mainstream and high-frequency kits; headroom diminishes as speeds approach the upper overclocked limits.

PCIe 5.0 and Thunderbolt 4 interface limits

The primary PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one CPU-attached M.2 connector operate at PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds. Two additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slots and three chipset M.2 connectors run at PCIe 4.0. Thunderbolt 4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports share upstream bandwidth, so simultaneous high-throughput devices can saturate the available lanes.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR5 memory kits run on the Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE at their rated speeds?

The board supports DDR5 modules from 5600 up to 9200 MT/s with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, so kits within that range will run at their rated speeds when the profile is enabled in BIOS.

How can I confirm the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and the CPU-attached M.2 slots are operating at full speed after assembly?

Check the BIOS PCIe configuration screen — it should show the primary x16 slot at Gen 5.0 and the M2A_CPU slot at Gen 5.0 x4; GPU-Z and the SSD vendor tool will also report the active link widths.

Does the box include the Wi-Fi 7 antenna and the M.2 mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?

The package ships with the Wi-Fi 7 antenna, M.2 screws and standoffs, SATA cables, and the I/O shield; no extra mounting hardware is required for installation.
