ASRock Z890 Nova WiFi Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 7

ASRock Z890 Nova WiFi Motherboard - DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 7 arrives as a high-performance ATX platform designed for the latest Intel LGA 1851 processors and the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) family, delivering cutting-edge connectivity and expansion for modern PCs.

The ASRock Z890 Nova supports DDR5-SDRAM across four DIMM slots in a dual-channel configuration, letting you install up to 256 GB of unbuffered memory for demanding multitasking and content creation workloads. ECC is not supported, but the board targets gamers and creators who need maximum speed and capacity.

Storage options are abundant with six M.2 slots (all 2280 compatible) and ten total drive connections through PCIe 5.0, PCIe 4.0 and SATA III interfaces, plus full RAID support (0, 1, 5, 10) for performance and redundancy. The first M.2 supports PCIe 5.0 devices for next-generation NVMe speeds while the remaining M.2 slots provide PCIe 4.0 bandwidth.

Expansion and graphics are handled with both PCIe x16 Gen5 and PCIe x16 Gen4 slots, and the board supports up to 7680 x 4320 resolution with HDMI 2.1 output. Audio duties are performed by a Realtek ALC4082 codec with 7.1-channel output and S/PDIF out for surround sound systems.

Connectivity is a major highlight: dual Ethernet ports (2.5Gb and 5Gb) powered by Killer E3100G and Realtek RTL8126, dual Thunderbolt ports, and a flagship Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) wireless adapter with included antennas and Bluetooth 5.4. USB options include multiple Type-A and Type-C ports with USB 3.2 Gen2x2, Gen2 and Gen1 support, plus legacy USB 2.0.

Built for enthusiasts, the board includes robust power delivery with dual 8-pin EPS connectors, multiple fan and pump headers (2 CPU fan connectors, 4 chassis fan connectors, 1 water pump header), four RGB headers, TPM support, and a clear CMOS button. The UEFI AMI BIOS with 256 Mbit memory provides flexible tuning and stability for Windows 11 x64 systems.

Typical use cases include high-end gaming rigs that require PCIe 5.0 and Wi-Fi 7 for low-latency online play, creative workstations needing many fast NVMe drives and abundant memory, or small server builds using RAID arrays and dual 10/2.5GbE connectivity. The black ATX board (305 x 244 mm) ships with SATA cables, antenna, screws and M.2 standoffs for quick assembly.

If you want top-tier connectivity, future-proof storage and memory, and an enthusiast-grade feature set for Intel LGA 1851 CPUs, the ASRock Z890 Nova WiFi is an excellent foundation for a next-generation PC build.
