Its advanced power design and AI solutions drive top-tier performance, while Thunderbolt™ 4, WiFi 7, and high-speed DDR5 slots offer cutting-edge connectivity. With the addition of the HIVE II and FPS card, this motherboard delivers the power and speed needed for elite gaming and demanding AI 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 STRENGTH: ROG has a rich history of delivering top-tier memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 8 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-I, with even greater speeds on the horizon. For experienced users, the UEFI offers a wide range of options to fine-tune and push performance to its limits.
• 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

• 10(110A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+1(80A) Power Stages
• 8-PIN PROCOOL II POWER CONNECTOR: A ProCool II connector is 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.
• TEN-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 AND CHIPSET HEATSINKS: To save space, both on-board M.2 slots and heatsinks are stacked together over the chipset. And to keep the thermals of installed high-performance drives in check, the entire array is cooled by an embedded fan.
• VRM HEATSINK: The VRM heatsink extends over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and include a VRM fan for active cooling to deftly handle the power thermals of the latest Intel processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.
• HIGH-CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL PADS: High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.

ROG STRIX HIVE II

The ROG Hive II is an exclusive accessory designed to deliver user-friendly access to hardware and software features.

ROG FPS CARD

The ROG FPS card groups I/O onto a vertically-mounted card, saving valuable motherboard space and tidying cable management. Connections can also be made before the card is installed, greatly simplifying installation in cramped quarters. It features two SATA ports, front panel headers, two USB 2.0 headers (for up to three USB 2.0 connections), a CPU_OV jumper for extreme overclocking, and a PCIe alteration mode switch.

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-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is also protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. Each of the M.2 slots offers read and write speeds up to a blistering 16 GB/s, while the remaining slot can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Both M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen storage.

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.
