Overview
The ASUS TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WIFI is an ATX form-factor motherboard built on Intel's Z890 chipset and designed to work with Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) in the LGA1851 socket. It pairs a robust power delivery architecture — featuring DIGI+ VRM with DrMOS — alongside a comprehensive thermal solution that includes a VRM heatsink, M.2 heatsinks, and an M.2 heatsink backplate, keeping critical components cool during extended workloads or gaming sessions. Memory support is a clear highlight: four DDR5 DIMM slots accommodate up to 192 GB of non-ECC, unbuffered DDR5 RAM, with overclocked speeds reaching 8600+ MT/s via XMP or ASUS's own Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III). The DIMM Fit BIOS feature helps analyse individual memory modules for optimal compatibility and stability. For storage, the board provides four M.2 Key-M slots — the primary slot running at PCIe 5.0 x4 for up to 128 Gbps throughput — plus four SATA 6 Gb/s ports, supporting Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID configurations across both PCIe and SATA devices. Connectivity is comprehensive: a 2x2 Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) module covers 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with up to 2.9 Gbps transfer rate, complemented by Bluetooth 5.4 and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with TUF LANGuard protection. The rear I/O panel features a Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port, a USB 20 Gbps Type-C with DisplayPort Alt mode, three USB 10 Gbps Type-A ports, three USB 5 Gbps Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60Hz), and a BIOS FlashBack button for no-CPU BIOS updates. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC1220P codec delivering 7.1 surround sound with 120 dB SNR stereo playback, backed by audio shielding, premium capacitors, dedicated PCB layers, and a rear optical S/PDIF output. Expansion slots include one PCIe 5.0 x16 (from the CPU), one PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4 mode, chipset), one PCIe 4.0 x4, and two PCIe 4.0 x1 slots. Three Addressable Gen 2 headers support ARGB lighting via Aura Sync.
