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%.

Robust Power Design

Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2). The PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI-CSM is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 10(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 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability, and performance for both current and future Intel® processors.

• Six-Layer PCB Design: The 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.
• ProCool Connectors: Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard’s link to the power supply with 8 + 4 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
• Power Saving: The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting, and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
• Digi+ VRM Control: The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency, and power-efficiency settings.

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

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. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

Four M.2 Slots (up to 128Gbps)

The PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI-CSM offers a total of four M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, and three that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

Cooler by Design

The PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI-CSM motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

ASUS Fan Xpert 4

ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software offers comprehensive control over fans and AIO coolers. Auto-Tuning mode configures settings with one click, while Extreme Quiet mode reduces fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks. Controls are also available via the UEFI BIOS.

Empowering Connections

The PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI-CSM motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6, the latest version of PCI Express, while an arsenal of USB ports includes Type-C connections that expand compatibility and bandwidth even further.

• USB 20Gbps Type-C®: The PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI-CSM comes loaded with two USB 20Gbps Type-C® connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O; this port can also support external 4K DisplayPort video output. The other can be attached to the chassis front panel and it also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30W.
• WiFi 6: The WiFi 6 module is compatible with the 802.11ax standard and pushes theoretical peak bandwidth up to an incredible 1.2Gbps. Perhaps more importantly for power users, it's optimized for more efficient operation on crowded networks with a lot of competing traffic. Pair your motherboard with ASUS WiFi 6 routers to fully experience the networking potential of WiFi 6.
