Z890 overclocking with Wi-Fi 7, CUDIMM memory support and four M.2 slots, for less than the AORUS boards.
Quick Specs
- Intel Z890 chipset, LGA1851 (Intel Core Ultra)
- 4 x DDR5 DIMM, up to 256GB, up to 9200 MT/s (O.C.), CUDIMM support
- PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, 4 x M.2 (1 x PCIe 5.0 x4, 3 x PCIe 4.0 x4)
- Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Realtek 2.5GbE, rear USB4
- ATX (30.5 x 24.4 cm), 6 fan headers
The middle of the Z890 range
The Z890 GAMING X WIFI7 sits between the Z890 EAGLE and the AORUS ELITE. Compared with the EAGLE, it adds Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4, CUDIMM support and memory profiles up to 9200 MT/s, plus a front HDMI connection and optical S/PDIF out. It keeps the same useful layout: a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 and three PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, four SATA ports and two chipset-fed PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. A rear USB4 Type-C port with DisplayPort handles fast external storage and displays. It is a good base for an overclocked Core Ultra 7 265K or Core Ultra 9 285K gaming PC.
Compared with the AORUS ELITE
The Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 adds a Thunderbolt 4 rear port and ALC1220 audio; the GAMING X has a USB4 port and a standard Realtek codec instead. Rear USB-A is the same modest mix of two USB 3.2 Gen 2, three Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports. The Thunderbolt add-in card connectors only support a Thunderbolt 5 card. Wi-Fi 7 needs a recent Windows 11 build and has no Windows 10 driver. If you do not overclock, a B860 board will cost less for similar everyday performance.
