AI-ready Intel Z890 platform

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z890 chipset and LGA 1851 socket for Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It targets builders who want a high-end foundation for AI workloads, gaming and content creation. The board delivers 18+2+1+2 power stages rated up to 110A each with ProCool II connectors, MicroFine alloy chokes and premium metallic capacitors. A C-shaped heatpipe links massive VRM heatsinks and an integrated I/O cover for thermal management.

Three PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots

Seven M.2 sockets accept 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 drives, all fitted with substantial heatsinks. The top three run at PCIe 5.0 x4 from the CPU, the remaining four at PCIe 4.0 x4 from the chipset. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports and Intel Rapid Storage Technology add RAID 0/1/5/10 across PCIe and SATA. Networking includes 5Gbps LAN, WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, while audio uses the ROG SupremeFX ALC4080 codec for 7.1 surround.

Suits AI-focused builders needing maximum M.2

Enthusiasts who want extensive Gen 5 storage, Thunderbolt 4 on the rear panel and AI-assisted overclocking, cooling and networking will benefit. The four DDR5 slots support up to 192GB at 8800+ MT/s with DIMM Fit, DIMM Flex and AEMP III. Users needing more than two full-size PCIe slots, legacy PCI or a smaller form factor should consider other models.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 heatsinks on the three PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0 slots need periodic cleaning or replacement?

The board uses massive heatsinks with integrated I/O cover, high-conductivity thermal pads and a C-shaped heatpipe. No moving parts are present, so only occasional dust removal is required.

Which component hits its thermal limit first when the 18+2+1+2 power stages run at full load continuously?

The VRM heatsink array with high-conductivity pads and C-shaped heatpipe is designed to absorb sustained output from the 110A, 90A and 80A stages. Fan Xpert 4 with AI Cooling II adjusts chassis fans to keep temperatures in check.

How loud do the chassis fans get when AI Cooling II manages a full-load system all day?

AI Cooling II monitors CPU and motherboard temperatures, then automatically tunes the five 4-pin chassis fan headers and the AIO pump header for the lowest noise that still maintains safe thermals.
