ROG STRIX Z890-E Gaming WIFI Motherboard is the latest in a great line of motherboards, but it leaves you flat when you are looking for PCI-e slots for peripherals - only has 2. One is PCI-e 5.0 x 16, and the other is PCI-e 4.0x16, leaving you to figure out how to add anything else outside of the NVME SDDs they give you 7 slots for. 3 for 5.0 x 4, and 4 for 4.0 x 4 NVME SDDs. The problem here is 2 of the 5.0 slots are sharing resources with the PCI-e 5.0 x 16 meant for a high-end video card, so you end up having to throttle back your video to use the latest SDDs or use a lesser set of SDDs on the other 4 slots. I should have read the fine print before purchasing this one, but I have it now, and outside of throttling my new video card, it is a nice motherboard. It has the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, and has ample room for DDR-5 RAM, but you really have to pay attention to the manufacturer, type and speed of the RAM before you plunk down some cash on this. It states up to 256 Gigabytes of RAM, but the QVL list only has a few options at the 96 Gigabyte level. One with Corsair with 4- 24 Gigabyte sticks, and the rest require one or two slots only. Yes there are plenty of vendors and RAM speeds available in the QVL list, but when you look for an option, there are few available to be purchased. I went with 2 G Skill sticks of 48 Gigabyte RAM at 6400 MT/s, thinking that maybe they will add this particular set for upgrading in a later BIOS update to allow me to up the ante to 192 Gigabytes by filling the other 2 slots left on the motherboard. With AI being the main reason for getting this latest iteration with an Intel i-9 Ultra (2nd Gen) 65 Watt CPU, I also had to pay attention to what RAM can be used with this CPU, a first for me to have to worry about, and I am sure any of you amateur computer builders out there like me will read the fine print on that one. So, no I could not get the highest speed RAM, nor is the new STRIX Z890-E able to actually use 256 Gigabytes of RAM based on the limitations set by both their own BIOS limitations as well as the latest Intel CPUs when comparison shopping for compatible RAM. All in all, it is a pretty good motherboard barring all the limitations noted above. Maybe a ROG Hero would be a better option?

Upgraded from Strix z370 e-gaming. The motherboard is of excellent quality as expected from Asus. I have an Intel core ultra 265K with G.Skill 6800 O.C memory and it is completely stable. The motherboard has tons of features and all the overclocking and tweaking options ever needed in the BIOS, improved aesthetics from my previous build. It has ample USB and M2 ports and I like that it has an HDMI and DisplayPort connection along with 2 thunderbolt 4s. With support for the latest technologies like DDR5, Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt™ 4 and an advanced cooling system, this board will give you maximum performance and stability. If you’re building your first p.c or upgrading an existing one, Strix Z890-E gaming will meet all your needs. Highly recommend this board for stability, features, reliability and aesthetics.
