A Z890 board for overclocking Core Ultra K-series chips, with Thunderbolt 4, four M.2 slots and Wi-Fi 7.
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)
- Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 Type-C, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 2.5GbE
- ATX (30.5 x 24.4 cm), 6 fan headers
Why choose Z890
The Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 is for Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 9 285K owners who want to overclock, which B860 boards do not allow. It supports CUDIMM DDR5 modules and memory speeds up to 9200 MT/s. The CPU feeds a PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot, a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, and the chipset adds two more M.2 slots and two PCIe 4.0 x4 expansion slots, which is unusually flexible for add-in cards. A rear Thunderbolt 4 port handles 40Gbps docks, drives and displays, and Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2.5GbE cover networking.
Things to know
Rear USB-A is modest for the price, with two USB 3.2 Gen 2, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports, so heavy USB users may want a hub. Video outputs are a single DisplayPort 2.1 and the Thunderbolt port, plus a front HDMI connection limited to 1080p at 30Hz; there is no rear HDMI. Only one M.2 slot is PCIe 5.0. GIGABYTE lists Windows 11 64-bit only. If you run a non-K Core Ultra at stock, a B860 board will save money with little performance loss.
