ASUS TUF Gaming Z890 Pro Wifi DDR5 Intel Motherboard ( White )

The ASUS TUF Gaming Z890-Pro WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard built around Intel's Z890 chipset and designed specifically for Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) in the LGA1851 socket. It pairs a proven military-grade component selection with the connectivity demands of modern AI-ready and gaming workloads, delivering a stable, feature-rich platform without compromise. Power delivery is handled by a 16+1+2+1 phase VRM arrangement, with each stage rated at 80 A and built on DIGI+ VRM topology using DrMOS packages. Dual 8-pin CPU power connectors feed the array, while ProCool solid pins and overvoltage protection safeguard long-term reliability under sustained all-core loads. Memory support spans four DDR5 DIMM slots accommodating up to 192 GB in dual-channel configuration. Speeds reach DDR5-8600+ MT/s in overclocked mode, and the board recognises both Intel XMP and ASUS's own AEMP III profiles. CUDIMM (Clocked Unbuffered DIMM) is supported alongside standard unbuffered DDR5. Storage options are equally generous: four M.2 Key-M slots are available, with the primary CPU-connected slot supporting PCIe 5.0 x4 for next-generation NVMe drives, while the remaining three slots operate at PCIe 4.0 x4. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out the storage array. The primary PCIe slot for discrete graphics runs at PCIe 5.0 x16 from the CPU, with additional chipset-connected PCIe 4.0 slots for expansion cards. Connectivity is comprehensive. The rear panel provides two Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) ports, six USB 10 Gbps Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (4K@60Hz), and Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet with TUF LANGuard surge protection. Wireless is handled by an integrated Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) module supporting 2.4/5/6 GHz bands at up to 2.9 Gbps, accompanied by Bluetooth 5.4. Internal headers add a front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C connector with up to 30 W PD fast charging. Audio is delivered by a Realtek ALC1220P codec with 7.1 surround support, 120 dB SNR stereo playback, dedicated audio PCB layers, audio shielding, and a rear optical S/PDIF output. Three Addressable Gen 2 headers support Aura Sync RGB customisation. ASUS AI features — AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, and AI Networking II — provide one-click tuning and real-time thermal and bandwidth management. BIOS FlashBack allows firmware updates without a CPU or RAM installed.
