ASUS ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming WiFi Mini-ITX Motherboard

The ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming WiFi delivers flagship performance in a compact Mini-ITX form factor, engineered for Intel Core Ultra Processors (Series 2). This motherboard combines advanced power delivery, AI-driven optimization, and cutting-edge connectivity for elite gaming and demanding workloads.

Advanced Power Design

Built with a robust 10+1+2+1 power stage configuration, each stage rated for 110 amps, the Z890-I handles extreme overclocking with precision. The ProCool II 8-pin connector ensures flush contact with PSU power lines, while the ten-layer PCB design efficiently dissipates heat around voltage regulators. High-end alloy chokes and durable capacitors resist extreme temperatures, providing stability that exceeds industry standards.

Intelligent AI Features

ASUS AI technology transforms system optimization. AI Advisor interprets natural-language questions about motherboard features. AI Overclocking profiles your CPU and cooling to predict optimal configurations. AI Cooling II balances thermals and acoustics with one click, while AI Networking II continuously optimizes network performance for seamless WiFi 7 connectivity. NPU Boost overclocks the integrated NPU up to 24% with a single click.

DDR5 Memory Performance

Enhanced signal routing pushes DDR5 memory beyond 8 GT/s, supporting up to 128GB across two DIMM slots. DIMM Flex provides advanced overclocking control, while AEMP III optimizes cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. DIMM Fit analyzes individual modules to maximize performance and identify potential issues.

Next-Generation Connectivity

WiFi 7 delivers speeds up to 4.8X faster than WiFi 6, utilizing 320 MHz channels and 4K QAM technology. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports provide 40 Gbps bidirectional bandwidth, supporting dual 4K displays and 32 Gbps PCIe connectivity. Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet ensures fast wired connections for low-latency gaming and streaming.

PCIe 5.0 Storage and Expansion

Both M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 x4, delivering read/write speeds up to 16 GB/s. The M.2 Q-Release Duo stacks two drives with dedicated cooling via an embedded fan. The PCIe 5.0 x16 SafeSlot supports next-generation graphics cards with Q-Release Slim for tool-free removal.

Comprehensive Cooling Solution

The VRM heatsink extends over rear I/O with an integrated fan for active cooling. Stacked M.2 and chipset heatsinks with embedded fan cooling maintain optimal drive temperatures. Five chassis fan headers support PWM/DC auto-detection, plus dedicated CPU and AIO pump headers.

ROG Strix Hive II and FPS Card

The included Hive II accessory provides user-friendly hardware control with ESS SABRE9260Q DAC, ROG Hyper-Grounding Technology, and silver-plated audio jacks. The FPS Card vertically mounts I/O connections, saving motherboard space and simplifying cable management with additional USB 2.0 headers and SATA ports.

Simplified PC Building

Q-Antenna snaps into place without slow rotation. PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim tilts to unlock graphics cards automatically. BIOS FlashBack updates firmware via USB without CPU or memory installed. BIOS Q-Dashboard visualizes hardware connections for intuitive configuration.
