ASUS Z890 AYW Gaming WiFi W ATX Z890 Motherboard

The ASUS Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W is an ATX motherboard that centers on the Intel Z890 chipset and welcomes Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors through its LGA1851 socket. It offers four DDR5 DIMM slots that can be tuned beyond 9066 MT/s, giving overclocking enthusiasts generous headroom for memory-intensive tasks.

For expansion, the board provides one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot ready for a flagship graphics card and three additional PCIe 4.0 slots for capture cards, storage controllers, or other high-bandwidth add-ins. Four M.2 connectors handle solid-state storage; one connects via PCIe 5.0 for next-generation NVMe drives, while the remaining three accept PCIe 4.0 or SATA-based modules. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports keep legacy drives in play, making it easy to blend new and existing storage.

Networking and external I/O arrive fully modern. Built-in Wi-Fi 6 delivers fast wireless throughput, Bluetooth 5.3 pairs quickly with peripherals, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supplies stable wired performance for competitive multiplayer gaming or heavy file transfers. A USB Type-C front-panel header supports 20 Gbps data rates and up to 30 W Power Delivery fast charging, handy for topping up phones or portable consoles while you build or work.

Builders will appreciate ASUS conveniences such as Q-Release for quick graphics-card removal, Q-Latch on every M.2 slot to eliminate tiny screws, and a pre-mounted rear I/O shield that simplifies installation. Realtek 7.1-channel audio with 24-bit/192 kHz playback keeps game soundtracks and media projects detailed and immersive.

Whether you are assembling a high-refresh gaming rig, a streaming setup with multiple capture devices, or a workstation that juggles large project files, this board supplies the bandwidth, expansion, and quality-of-life touches that make a modern PC build both powerful and straightforward.
