Socket LGA 1851 for Core Ultra Series 2

This motherboard targets builders who want a mid-size ATX platform for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. The Z890 chipset unlocks overclocking headroom for both the CPU and memory. It suits enthusiasts and content creators who need strong single-thread performance plus expandability.

DDR5 up to 256 GB with XMP 3.0

Four 288-pin slots accept DDR5 modules from 5600 up to 9200 MT/s when overclocked. Dual-channel architecture delivers high bandwidth for memory-intensive workloads. The 256 GB ceiling covers most professional applications, though extreme virtualisation or rendering farms may require more capacity.

PCIe 5.0 graphics and three M.2 slots

A single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides maximum throughput for current and next-generation GPUs. An additional PCIe 4.0 x16 slot supports secondary cards or high-speed add-in storage. Three M.2 connectors share the chipset and CPU lanes, so populating all three can reduce the second x16 slot to x4 speeds.
