Z890 Creator board with Core Ultra 5 245K

The ASUS ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI motherboard arrives paired with an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K processor in an LGA 1851 socket. The board uses the Z890 chipset and delivers 16+2+1+2 teamed power stages with ProCool II connectors. Four DDR5 slots support up to 192 GB at 8600 MT/s over dual-channel architecture.

Built for creative workstations.

Dual Thunderbolt 5 ports plus one Thunderbolt 4 port give 80 Gbps bandwidth for external storage and displays. Ten-gigabit and 2.5-gigabit Ethernet combine with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for fast network flexibility. Five M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0, four PCIe 4.0) and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports cover high-capacity project libraries. Gamers needing maximum single-thread frequency may prefer a different platform.

Thunderbolt 5 decides the fit

Two USB Type-C ports running Thunderbolt 5 provide the headline 80 Gbps connection speed for daisy-chained RAID arrays or 8K monitors. If your workflow relies on that bandwidth, this bundle matches it; if you only need USB 10 Gbps or Thunderbolt 3, a less expensive board will suffice.

Questions about this item

Will my DDR5 modules run at their rated speed on this board?

The board supports DDR5 up to 8600 MT/s when overclocked and works with XMP profiles; install up to four CUDIMM or unbuffered DIMMs for a maximum of 192 GB in dual-channel mode.

Can I use a PCIe 5.0 graphics card and still have room for fast storage?

Yes, the CPU provides two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots that run at x16 or x8/x8, and the chipset adds one PCIe 4.0 x16 slot at x4 plus four M.2 slots — one from the CPU at PCIe 5.0 x4 and three from the chipset at PCIe 4.0 x4.

What do I need to connect a Thunderbolt 5 display and 10 Gb Ethernet at the same time?

The rear I/O already includes two Thunderbolt 5 Type-C ports, one Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port, a Marvell 10 Gb Ethernet port and an Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet port, so no extra cards are required.
