With Thunderbolt™ 4, PCIe® 5.0, and Polymo lighting, the ROG Strix Z890-A delivers lightning-fast data transfers, exceptional connectivity, and a customizable aesthetic that can be subtle or bold. This motherboard delivers the power and speed essential for elite gaming and the demands of advanced AI PC applications.
ASUS AI INTELLIGENCE
- ASUS AI ADVISOR: Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.
- AI OVERCLOCKING: ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits.
- AI COOLING II: Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click.
- AI NETWORKING II: AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimize network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7*.
MEMORY
- DDR5 DOMINATION: Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 8 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-A.
- DIMM FIT: DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues.
- AEMP III: ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory.
ROG STRIX ULTIMATE POWER DESIGN
- 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) Power Stages
- DUAL PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTORS: ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.
- ALLOY CHOKES AND DURABLE CAPACITORS: Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
- EIGHT-LAYER PCB: A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
COOLING
- M.2 BACKPLATE: An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
- M.2 HEATSINKS: Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
- VRM HEATSINK ARRAY: Two thick heatsinks covering the power delivery section provide strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while empowering high-performance Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).
LEADING CONNECTIVITY
- WIFI 7: The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM*. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT.
- INTEL 2.5GB ETHERNET: Onboard Intel® 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
- PCIE 5.0: The Strix Z890-A offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support, and the topmost x16 expansion slot is protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. One onboard M.2 slot is rated for blistering read and write speeds up to 16 GB/s, while the remainder can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Every M.2 slot is covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen drives.
TWO THUNDERBOLT 4 TYPE-C® PORTS
Each port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
USB WATTAGE WATCHER
USB Wattage Watcher allows users to monitor the current wattage delivered to a device connected to the USB 10Gbps Type-C® rear I/O port. With USB Wattage Watcher, users can glance at their device's charging wattage in real-time and check on their device’s Fast-Charging status.
BIOS Q-DASHBOARD
