Socket LGA 1851 ATX board

This Z890 motherboard fits Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors and uses four DDR5 slots. It targets builders who want a stable platform for gaming or AI workloads without exotic cooling. The 16-phase Duet Rail power system with 90A stages feeds the CPU through dual 8-pin connectors.

EZ DIY installation features

EZ PCIe Release, EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II, EZ M.2 Clip II and an EZ Antenna simplify assembly. The M.2 shield uses 7W/mK thermal pads and extra choke pads for heat transfer. Frozr Sync headers let you connect CPU, pump and system fans in one place.

256 GB DDR5 headroom

Dual-channel memory runs up to 9200 MT/s with XMP 3.0 profiles on 288-pin modules. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports handle bulk storage while the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and Lightning Gen 5 x4 M.2 serve the fastest GPUs and drives. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G LAN and Thunderbolt 4 cover networking.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the board is running at DDR5 9200 MT/s after enabling XMP 3.0?

Enter the BIOS, load the Intel XMP 3.0 profile, save and restart, then verify the memory frequency reads 9200 MT/s on the POST screen or in the BIOS memory information page.

Which components are included and which must be purchased separately?

The motherboard, I/O shield, EZ Antenna, SATA cables, M.2 screws and documentation are in the box; the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processor, DDR5 memory modules, graphics card, storage drives and CPU cooler are not included.

Which version of this motherboard should I choose for a build that needs Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 7?

The single Z890 TOMAHAWK WIFI II model already provides Thunderbolt 4, Intel Killer 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4, so no alternative version is required for those features.
