Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!

Looks great, cool features, nice thermals

New LGA 1851 Lots of room for PCI 5 expansion Onboard BT and WiFi Tons of space for M.2 memory (gen 4 at least)

Somehow I bent the pins under the CPU of the 1st MB, don't know how I did that, after getting it back from from ASUS repair center, which it really didn't need because all they did is test startup 50 times & when I got it back the issue was resolved - so just a big waste of time I can't blame on any body else. So that's off my chest, the 2nd Z890-A is working perfectly. No complaints at all. It has plenty of USB's. Room for 2 HDD's, 4 2.5" SSD's & 5 M.2 SSD's. You don't need to be a gamer to get this MB, it will handle whatever you throw at it. I still haven't played with the Audio capabilities it has, or finished moving all my files over to the new PC. It's been a busy Summer. One hack I accidently discovered: I went with an Intel 265KF (no internal graphics), but was planning on getting a GPU any way. Do that and you can save a few bucks on the CPU.

- Very easy to install everything from components to a large air cooler - No bending at all with a Noctua NH-D15S - Everything booted up on the first try (265K w/ 64GB G Skill Royal Ram) - Clean, easy to use BIOS

Literally top of the line in everything I was looking for. PCIE 5, so you can pair it with the Samsung 9100. Latest intel processor (Which is also super fast). Wifi is also fast. The price was great for top of the line. I am super happy with it. The BIOS system is very intuitive/easy to use. And it looks great.

similar to the z790, which I currently have. Great look and amazing options.

I loved the motherboard design. It simplifies the screw process and also has a good BIOS design for customizing everything.

All the bells and whistles Looks really stunning Six NVMe slots Prepared to run on custom water loop but runs just fine on air (make sure you have proper airflow) As stable as it gets Lots of type-c ports and 2 thunderbolt (plus 2 type-c headers, 2 regular A headers, and 2 USB 2.0 headers) Got it on sale <3

- extremely sturdy - great built on heatsinks - solid state components in the TUF series

- With full functional user manual (provided by QR code), you can easily install all the hardware step by step. - Great support 24 hours from Mon. to Fri. - Multiple ports for fans, RGB and USB

Wi-Fi ready, Windows 11 capable, plenty of USB ports, has HDMI ports, and even speaker & mic ports to get you going.

7600mhz XMP working beautifully right out of the box. I am coming from the exact same mobo but Z490 10th gen. The old mobo had a sad I/O plate but this new rig is fully integrated and comparing the two makes me laugh, the old one looks so cheap. The wifi and Bluetooth are excellent, reaching across a big room to my DualShock controllers.

Wow! This board is solid, heavy, feels very well built and clearly with quality in mind. The architecture is attractive, and the layout is super practical. Very clean looking too.


Just what I am looking for in a motherboard that can be used in the future

high quality at a good price. lots of m2 and usb ports. supports high ram speeds

Looks cool, works smooth, bios is a dream.

It looks nice, has the right pin set, and is heat sinked

Compact, easy access, fast Ethernet, plenty of USBs, easy to navigate bios
