Expert Features

  • Intel Core Ultra Series 2 Ready : The LGA1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset are engineered for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2), including support for Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max 3.0 on compatible CPUs.
  • Extreme 22+1+2+2 Power Delivery : The heavy-duty VRM combines 22 × 110A VCCCORE, 1 × 90A VCCGT, 2 × 90A VCCSA, and 2 × 80A VNNAON stages with dual ProCool II connectors, MicroFine alloy chokes, and 10K black metallic capacitors—made for serious high-end CPU tuning, mesh lal decoration.
  • DDR5 Up To 9200+ MT/s OC : Four NitroPath DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB, dual-channel operation, XMP, CUDIMM, DIMM Flex, DIMM Fit, and AEMP III for properly savage memory tuning.
  • Six-M.2 Storage Arsenal : Install up to six M.2 SSDs, including three PCIe 5.0 x4 positions and three PCIe 4.0 x4 positions, with extensive heatsinks and four dedicated M.2 backplates to help control high-speed SSD thermals.
  • Important PCIe Lane-Sharing Alert : The main PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot runs at x8 when either M.2_3 or M.2_4 is enabled, so performance-focused builders can plan GPU and Gen 5 storage allocation intelligently before assembly.
  • WiFi 7 Plus Dual Ethernet : Get 2×2 WiFi 7 with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz support, Bluetooth 5.4, Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet, and Realtek 5Gb Ethernet—wired and wireless connectivity stacked like a proper flagship. Full WiFi 7 functionality requires Windows 11 24H2 or later.
  • Thunderbolt 4 Connectivity : Two rear Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports support high-speed peripherals and display output, including one 8K 60Hz display with DSC or two 4K 60Hz displays under the supported bandwidth configuration.
  • Massive USB Expansion : The rear panel provides 11 USB ports, while internal headers can supply up to 10 additional front-panel ports, including USB 20Gbps Type-C with up to 60W PD/QC4+ when the auxiliary 8-pin PCIe power connector is installed.
  • SupremeFX Flagship Audio : The ALC4082 codec, ESS ES9219 Quad DAC, 120dB playback SNR, 110dB recording SNR, premium capacitors, gold-plated jacks, and optical S/PDIF deliver high-grade onboard gaming and headphone audio.
  • AI-Assisted Tuning : AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, AI Networking II, NPU Boost, ASUS AI Advisor, Fan Xpert 4, and GameFirst help simplify processor tuning, fan optimization, networking, and system control.
  • Builder-Friendly Q-Design : Q-Release Slim, M.2 Q-Latch, Q-Slide, Q-Code, Q-LED, Q-Antenna, BIOS FlashBack, Clear CMOS, ReTry, and Start buttons reduce screwdriver drama and make troubleshooting faster.
  • Windows 11 Platform : Official operating-system support is Windows 11 version 22H2 or later, with platform behavior and WiFi capabilities depending on the installed CPU, OS version, memory configuration, and regional wireless regulations.
