Everything Z890 offers, on a board built for people who use all of it
Quick Specs
- Intel Z890 chipset, Socket LGA1851 for Core Ultra Series 2 processors
- ATX form factor with four DDR5 DIMM slots and full XMP overclocking
- PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot plus multiple M.2 sockets including PCIe 5.0
- Thunderbolt 4 Type-C connectivity
- Wi-Fi 7 and high-speed wired Ethernet onboard
The Core Ultra board for creators and overclockers
Z890 is the only Intel LGA1851 chipset with CPU multiplier overclocking, and the Strix Z890-E is where that matters most. The VRM here is sized for a Core Ultra 9 running an all-core load indefinitely, memory tuning support is deep enough that fast DDR5 kits behave rather than fight you, and the lane budget lets you fill four M.2 sockets without stripping the expansion slots. Add Thunderbolt 4 and this becomes a genuine content-creation machine as well as a gaming one, which is exactly what a lot of South African buyers need out of a single PC.
Who should not buy this
If you are running a non-K Core Ultra 5 or 7 for gaming with one GPU and one SSD, this board is a waste of several thousand rand. B860 delivers identical frame rates and the same PCIe 5.0 graphics slot. The Strix Z890-E is also a physically imposing board with tall heatsinks and dense headers that fights compact cases and large air coolers. There is no onboard 10 Gb Ethernet at this tier either, so if your storage lives on a fast NAS you will still be adding a NIC. Overclocking headroom on Core Ultra is modest compared with previous generations, so buy this for lanes and I/O rather than for record chasing.

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?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
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.
