ASUS PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI LGA 1851 M-ATX Motherboard

The ASUS PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI is a micro ATX motherboard that brings the performance of Intel Core Ultra series 2 processors to smaller builds without giving up expansion or speed.

Built around the LGA 1851 socket, the board accepts the latest Intel Core Ultra chips and pairs them with four DDR5 DIMM slots. You can install up to 192 GB of memory, giving creators, gamers, and professionals plenty of headroom for multitasking and large projects.

For graphics, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot stands ready for a modern GPU. Storage is handled by three M.2 sockets; one runs at PCIe 5.0 speeds for a primary drive, and the other two operate on PCIe 4.0 for additional capacity. This layout lets you boot quickly, load large game assets, or edit 4K footage directly from NVMe storage.

Networking options are equally forward looking. Integrated Wi-Fi 7 lets you connect wirelessly at multi-gigabit speeds when a cable is not convenient, while the 2.5G Ethernet port provides stable wired throughput for competitive gaming or large file transfers. A rear USB-C port delivers 20 Gb per second bandwidth and can carry a DisplayPort signal to a compatible monitor, simplifying cabling on a desk.

Realtek 7.1 surround sound support helps movies, music, and games come through with clarity. If you use high-resolution headphones or speakers, the audio stack can feed them without external gear.

ASUS includes AI assisted fan control and network optimization that adjust cooling curves and prioritize traffic in real time. BIOS FlashBack lets you update firmware with only a power supply and a USB stick, a helpful safeguard when installing a new CPU.

Whether you are building a space efficient gaming system, a content creation workstation for a dorm room, or a PC for a quiet home office, the PRIME Z890M-PLUS WIFI provides the connectivity, storage throughput, and upgrade path that keep a compact system feeling responsive for years.
