Z890 mATX Motherboard with Core Ultra 9 285K

This combo pairs an ASUS PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI motherboard with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. The board uses the LGA 1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset in a micro-ATX layout. The CPU delivers 36MB L3 cache and 40MB L2 cache with a 125W base power rating. Integrated Intel Graphics handles display output without a discrete card.

Builders wanting AI-ready connectivity

The 10+1+2+1 80A DrMOS power stages, 6-layer PCB and large VRM heatsinks suit sustained heavy workloads. AI Cooling II and AI Networking II automate fan curves and traffic prioritisation. One PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots support fast storage. Users needing more than four DDR5 slots or a full-size ATX layout should consider other boards.

Sustained load behaviour with robust power delivery

The 80A power stages and alloy chokes maintain stable voltage during prolonged compute tasks. Large VRM and PCH heatsinks combined with hybrid fan headers managed by Fan Xpert 4 dissipate heat over long sessions. Dual-channel DDR5 support up to 8666 MT/s (OC) keeps memory bandwidth high. Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5Gb LAN maintain network throughput under continuous traffic.

Questions about this item

What DDR5 memory kit speed and capacity do I need to match the board's 8666+MT/s OC rating and 256GB maximum?

Install up to four DDR5 CUDIMM modules for a total of 256GB; the board supports dual-channel XMP and AEMP III profiles up to 8666+MT/s when overclocked.

Will my existing PCIe 4.0 graphics card and SATA SSDs work with the single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and six SATA 6Gb/s ports?

The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 graphics cards, and all six SATA 6Gb/s ports accept standard SATA SSDs or hard drives.

How can I confirm the CPU is boosting to its 125W base power and the Wi-Fi 7 link is active after first boot?

Check the BIOS hardware monitor for a 125W package power reading and verify the OS network adapter shows an 802.11be connection.
