ASUS TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI takes all the essential elements of the latest Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) processors and combines them with game-ready features and proven durability. Engineered with military-grade components, an upgraded power solution and a comprehensive cooling system, this motherboard goes beyond expectations with rock-solid and stable performance for marathon gaming. TUF GAMING motherboards also undergo rigorous endurance testing to ensure that they can handle conditions where others may fail. This platform delivers the power and connectivity that advanced AI PC applications demand.

Complete AI Solution
ASUS AI Solutions – including AI Advisor, AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II for thermal control and AI Networking II for real-time bandwidth optimization – offer smart assistance, one click overclocking, efficient cooling and new levels of ultrafast connectivity.

NPU Boost
The integrated NPU in Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows – and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

UEFI BIOS
The UEFI interface delivers easy-to-use configuration options for PC beginners, and advanced features for veterans.

TurboV Core
TurboV Core is engineered for overclocking enthusiasts to elevate system capability with unprecedented simplicity. Accessed via ASUS DriverHub, TurboV Core provides intuitive configuration of CPU and DRAM parameters to unlock your computer’s potential. No need to enter the BIOS, you can seamlessly modify settings directly from the Windows interface, and apply them right away without restart interruptions.

Premium Power Design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel processors. The motherboard is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 16(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80A each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel processors.

DRAM Overclocking Performance
Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of TUF GAMING motherboards. With the motherboard, you can extract all the potential out of your DDR5 modulesx, whether they’re from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

M.2 PCIe 5.0 Support
This motherboard also features one PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots to enjoy the fastest data transfers of up to 128 Gbpsx, and all M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds.

PCIe 5.0 for Graphics Card
PCIe 5.0 offers twice the data transfer speed of PCIe 4.0, making it robust enough to handle new data-heavy tasks. PCIe 5.0 also brings other benefits, such as electrical changes to improve signal integrity, backward-compatible CEM connectors for add-in cards and backward compatibility with previous versions of the PCIe bus.

Thunderbolt 4 Support
Each port delivers up to 40Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays.

WiFi 7
WiFi 7 ensures stable connections and low latency.

Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet
On-board Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet kicks your LAN connection up a notch by improving bandwidth speeds up to 2.5X faster than 1Gb connections.
