Motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-E GAMING WIFI LGA1851

ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-E GAMING WIFI is a high-end ATX motherboard for LGA1851, aimed at serious gaming and enthusiast builds with Intel Core Ultra processors. It combines the new Intel Z890 chipset, support for high-frequency DDR5, and massive M.2 capacity for the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs. The built-in Wi-Fi 7, 5Gb LAN, and quality ROG SupremeFX audio codec make it a complete platform for a modern high-end computer. If you are aiming for maximum connectivity and space for fast NVMe storage, this board offers more than most systems will be able to fill.

What you get
With the LGA1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset, you get a base that is ready for Intel Core Ultra processors and all their extras. The four DDR5 slots supporting up to 192 GB RAM and frequencies up to 8800+ MT/s (OC) allow you to combine high capacities and serious overclocking for gaming, streaming, and heavy applications. A total of seven M.2 slots, including several with PCIe 5.0 x4, give you the ability to build a huge and entirely NVMe storage without relying on separate RAID controllers. Wi-Fi 7 and 5Gb Ethernet provide fast network connectivity whether you are wired or wireless, while the built-in 7.1 audio with ROG SupremeFX ALC4080 meets the requirements for both gaming and multimedia.

• Socket LGA 1851 and chipset Intel Z890 – a stable platform for the new generation of Intel Core Ultra processors focused on gaming and performance.
• DDR5 memory with up to 4 slots, maximum 192 GB, and speeds up to 8800+ MT/s (OC), providing serious resources for multitasking, rendering, and high-FPS gaming.
• Support for dual-channel memory to maximize bandwidth from your DDR5 modules.
• A total of 7 x M.2 slots, including several with PCIe 5.0 x4 and others with PCIe 4.0 x4, plus a slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 & SATA – flexibility for a mix of ultra-fast NVMe and more affordable SSDs.
• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0/1/5/10, suitable for additional hard drives and mass storage arrays.
• 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 slot (x16 or x8/x4/x4) and 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x4) – plenty of room for the main GPU and additional expansion cards.
• Built-in Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4, plus Realtek 5Gb Ethernet for high-speed networking without the need for separate cards.
• Audio subsystem ROG SupremeFX 7.1 Surround ALC4080 for clear sound in games, movies, and voice communication without an external audio interface.
• Power connectors 1 x 24-pin and 2 x 8-pin, providing stable power delivery to the CPU under load and overclocking.

Who it is suitable for
This board is for gamers and enthusiasts planning a powerful build with Intel Core Ultra, very fast DDR5 RAM, and several NVMe SSDs, including PCIe 5.0. It is suitable for high-end gaming at high refresh rates, streaming, video processing, and working on heavy projects where RAM and storage capacity matter. If you are aiming for a maximum budget build or only use one SSD and do not need Wi-Fi 7 and 5Gb LAN, part of its potential will simply remain unused.

The combination of LGA1851/Z890, brutal M.2 capacity, and modern networking options makes the ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-E GAMING WIFI a very solid foundation for a future build. You get a platform that you can easily expand for years to come without worrying about missing slots or connections.
