ASUS - ROG STRIX Z890-I GAMING WIFI - Intel Z890

ASUS ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming WiFi brings Intel Z890 performance to a compact mini-ITX board designed for high-end small-form-factor builds.

This mini-ITX motherboard supports the LGA 1851 (Socket V1) and is compatible with Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors, delivering modern CPU performance for gaming and content creation. The board uses the Intel Z890 chipset and is optimized for Windows 11.

Memory support includes two DIMM slots for DDR5-SDRAM in dual-channel configuration, supporting up to 96 GB of unbuffered, non-ECC memory to give you fast system responsiveness and ample headroom for demanding applications.

Storage options are versatile with two M.2 slots and two SATA III ports, allowing up to four drives (HDD & SSD). The board also offers RAID support (levels 0 and 1) for performance or redundancy depending on your needs.

Connectivity is rich for its size: a single PCIe x16 Gen5 slot, one HDMI port, two Thunderbolt ports, and a full complement of USB including USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A (x3), USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, and two USB 2.0 ports.

The compact dimensions are 170 x 170 mm, finished in black to match modern builds.

This board fits creators and gamers who need top-tier connectivity, next-gen CPU support, and modern wireless standards in a mini-ITX footprint. Typical use cases include compact high-performance gaming PCs, portable streaming rigs, and space-efficient workstations where Thunderbolt, PCIe Gen5 and Wi‑Fi 7 matter.
