Compact Intel Z890 platform

The ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi fits an LGA 1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset into a Mini ITX board for Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It targets builders who need high-end features in a small chassis without sacrificing connectivity or power delivery. Two DDR5 slots and a single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot keep the layout focused on essential performance.

Dual-channel DDR5 up to 128 GB

Two 288-pin slots run dual-channel DDR5 with native 6400 MT/s and XMP 3.0 profiles reaching 9866 MT/s when overclocked. The 128 GB ceiling gives headroom for heavy multitasking and content workloads, while the 1DPC 1R topology keeps signal integrity tight at extreme speeds. Beyond the validated XMP ceiling, stability depends on memory quality and cooling.

12+1+1+1+1 phase VRM with 20K capacitors

The 110 A per phase design and 1000 µF 20K black capacitors replace thinner power stages found on lesser ITX boards. The upgrade is worth it when pushing Core Ultra clocks past stock limits or sustaining all-core loads in a compact case. Integrated 5 GbE, dual Thunderbolt 4 and three M.2 slots — two Gen5 and one Gen4 — complete the I/O leap.
