Robust Power Design. Stable power delivery is crucial for maximizing Intel processor performance. This motherboard is engineered to meet the demands of high-core-count CPUs, featuring a 16(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stage configuration. Each stage integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs and drivers in packages rated for up to 80A, ensuring optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel processors.
AEMP III for Maximum DDR5 Performance. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware solution that unlocks unmatched memory performance with the latest CUDIMM modules. Using a two-phase tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver, then adjusts memory frequency, achieving the ideal balance between performance and stability even at cutting-edge DDR5-7600 speeds and beyond.
M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support. This motherboard features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for ultra-fast data transfer speeds of up to 128 Gbps. All M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations, enabling users to leverage the fastest available storage speeds.
Cooler Compatibility. ASUS AIO coolers deliver high performance, strong overclocking potential, bold aesthetics, and customizable functionality, perfectly matching the new motherboards to help you build your dream gaming rig.
Expanded Connectivity. This motherboard offers extensive connectivity options, including PCIe 5.0 slots, Thunderbolt 4 support, and front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C with fast charging.
WiFi 7. Next-generation WiFi 7 supports 160 MHz bandwidth in the 6 GHz band and 4096 QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) ensures stable connections with low latency, utilizing 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands to extend coverage and boost bandwidth.
20 Gbps USB Port with DP Alt Mode. The motherboard includes a front-panel 20 Gbps USB Type-C connector for high-speed data transfer up to 20 Gbps. Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology enables fast charging at up to 30W.
PCIe 5.0 for Graphics Cards. PCIe 5.0 data transfer speed is double that of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough for new data-intensive tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings electrical improvements for better signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards, and backward compatibility with earlier PCIe generations.
Thunderbolt 4 Support. Each port delivers bidirectional bandwidth of up to 40 Gbps for the latest ultra-fast devices and storage. Both ports support connecting up to two external 4K displays.
Personalization. TUF GAMING Z890-PLUS WIFI enhances user experience—from simplified BIOS setup to full RGB lighting control—enabling you to create a uniquely styled system.
Addressable Gen2 RGB Headers. Three addressable Gen2 RGB headers detect the number of LEDs on compatible devices and automatically adjust lighting effects accordingly.
Realtek 7.1 Channel Audio. This motherboard features the Realtek ALC1220P audio codec, developed in close collaboration with Realtek. It delivers an exceptional 120 dB SNR for line-out and 113 dB SNR for line-in, ensuring pristine audio quality. Impedance detection circuitry automatically adjusts gain to provide optimal volume range for your headphones.
DTS Audio Processing. DTS Audio Processing enhances sound from gaming headsets and speakers by reducing distortion and delivering deeper bass, so games, movies, and music sound better. It also allows customization of audio settings.
ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna. ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna provides 18% more reliable wireless signal reception compared to the previous generation.
