Intel's current enthusiast platform, done sensibly rather than extravagantly
Quick Specs
- Intel Z890 chipset on LGA1851 for Core Ultra Series 2 desktop processors
- Four DDR5 DIMM slots with Intel XMP and ASUS AEMP memory tuning
- PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot plus PCIe 5.0 M.2 storage
- Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4 Type-C on the rear panel
- ATX form factor with unlocked CPU and memory overclocking
A clean start on LGA1851
The TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WiFi is the board to pair with a Core Ultra 7 or Ultra 9 when you want the newest Intel platform without ROG pricing. Z890 brings a much wider USB and PCIe budget than the old Z790, so you can run a PCIe 5.0 graphics card, a PCIe 5.0 boot drive and still have lanes left for capture cards or fast networking. Thunderbolt 4 on the rear panel is genuinely useful for external storage and docks, and Wi-Fi 7 is worth having as South African fibre routers catch up. It is a long-life foundation.
Where it stops short
You are still paying for a mid-tier board, so expect a competent Realtek audio codec rather than an ESS DAC, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet rather than 10 Gigabit, and no on-board POST display, power button or diagnostic LED array beyond the basic Q-LEDs. The heatsinks handle a stock Ultra 9 comfortably but extreme sustained all-core overclocking is better served further up the range. Core Ultra Series 2 also trades some gaming performance for efficiency compared to the last generation, so if raw frames per rand is your only metric, an AM5 X3D build may suit you better.
FEATURES:
- Digital VRM with alloy chokes and enlarged heatsinks sized for Core Ultra 9 processors
- PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim and M.2 Q-Latch and Q-Slide for tool-free installs
- AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II and full Fan Xpert control on every header
- BIOS FlashBack and Q-LED diagnostic indicators
- TUF component certification with pre-mounted rear I/O shield

Questions
Before you buy
Which processors fit this board?
It takes LGA1851 processors on the Z890 chipset. Socket and chipset together decide what will run: the socket has to match physically, and the chipset decides which generations on that socket are supported. For a chip released after the board, check the manufacturer’s CPU support list to see whether a BIOS update is needed first.
Which cases will this board fit?
It is ATX. A case supports its own size and anything smaller - an ATX case takes ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards, a Micro-ATX case takes Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Each case we sell lists the board sizes it accepts under Specifications.
What memory does it take?
DDR5 across 4 slots, up to 256GB in total. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable - the notch in the module is in a different place, so the wrong type will not seat. Buy the memory as a matched kit rather than as single sticks wherever you can.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
