ASRock Z890 Riptide WiFi Motherboard - DDR5, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5G LAN - ATX

ASRock Z890 Riptide WiFi Motherboard - DDR5, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5G LAN - ATX introduces a modern foundation for Intel’s latest platforms, built around the Intel Z890 chipset to support LGA 1851 (Socket V1) processors including Intel Core Ultra (Series 2).

This ATX motherboard supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots for up to 256 GB of non-ECC memory, with rated speeds up to 9466 MHz, giving enthusiasts and creators headroom for high-frequency RAM and memory-intensive workloads.

Storage and expansion are versatile with M.2 and SATA III interfaces, hardware RAID support (0, 1, 5, 10) and a mix of PCIe slots including a Gen5 x16 slot and an additional Gen4 x16 and Gen4 x1 slot for GPUs, NVMe add-in cards, and expansion cards.

Connectivity is comprehensive: dual Thunderbolt ports, multiple USB ports (two USB 2.0, four USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A and two USB 3.2 Gen2x2), a single HDMI output, front panel audio and S/PDIF out, plus plenty of fan and pump headers to support custom cooling loops.

Networking is future-proof with built-in Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4 plus a Killer E3100G 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controller for low-latency wired connections. A pair of Wi‑Fi antenna jacks and an onboard TPM connector add convenience for high-speed wireless and platform security.

Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC1220 delivering 7.1-channel output for immersive gaming and content creation. Power delivery includes dual 8‑pin EPS connectors and a standard 24‑pin ATX power connector to support demanding CPU configurations.

Typical use cases include high-end gaming rigs with PCIe Gen5 GPUs, workstation builds needing fast DDR5 memory and multi-drive RAID arrays, and content creators who benefit from Thunderbolt connectivity and robust networking. The Riptide WiFi balances advanced features and expandability in a full-size ATX package (305 x 244 mm).

Key selling points include top-tier DDR5 support to 9466 MHz, Wi‑Fi 7 and 2.5G LAN via Killer E3100G, PCIe Gen5 readiness, dual Thunderbolt ports, and extensive cooling and power headers—making the ASRock Z890 Riptide WiFi an excellent choice for future-focused PC builds.
