Intel Core Ultra Series 2 platform

This ATX motherboard uses the Intel Z890 chipset and an LGA 1851 socket to support Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 256 GB of memory running at speeds from 5600 MT/s to 9200 MT/s with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles. It is built for creators and power users who need high core counts and fast memory bandwidth.

Sustained load thermal design

A 16+1+2 phase power delivery with 80 A smart power stages feeds the CPU under continuous heavy workloads. VRM Thermal Armour and M.2 Thermal Guards dissipate heat across the power circuitry and all five M.2 slots, keeping frequencies stable during long rendering or compile sessions.

PCIe 5.0 and Thunderbolt 4 limits

Two PCI Express 5.0 x16 slots and one PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot provide high-bandwidth lanes for graphics and add-in cards. Thunderbolt 4 on the rear I/O caps external throughput at 40 Gbps, while five M.2 sockets and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports share the chipset uplink, so simultaneous peak transfers on every drive are not possible.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the VRM get when the 16+1+2 80A power stages run all day?

The board uses a 16+1+2 phase design with 80A smart power stages covered by VRM Thermal Armor, so heat is spread across a large heatsink area and fan noise stays low under sustained loads.

Which DDR5 memory kit must I already own to populate the four 288-pin slots and reach 256GB?

You need four DDR5 DIMMs; the board supports speeds from 5600 up to 9200 MT/s with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles and a maximum capacity of 256GB in dual-channel mode.

Will my existing PCIe 4.0 graphics card and SATA SSDs work with the two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and four SATA 6Gb/s ports?

Yes, the two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots are backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 cards, and the four SATA 6Gb/s ports accept standard SATA SSDs or hard drives without any adapter.
