AI Advisor
ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.

 

AI Cooling II
Optimized thermals and reduced noise via dynamic adjustment of fan speeds, based on CPU temperatures.

 

Performance - NPU Boost

The integrated NPU in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows - and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

Performance - Robust power design

Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2). The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel® processors.

- 12 VCCCORE power (80A, DrMOS)
- 1 VCCGT power (80A, DrMOS)
- 2 VCCSA power (80A, DrMOS)
- 1 VNNAON power (80A, DrMOS)

 

Six-layer PCB design - Enhanced stability and overclocking.

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

 

ProCool connectors - Proprietary 8 + 8 pin connectors improve PSU connection.

Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the power supply with 8 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.

 

Power Saving - Optimize power with CPU, lighting, and fan settings.

The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.

 

Digi+ VRM control - Real-time voltage control.

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.

 

Enhanced Memory & Storage Performance - AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.

 

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration.

 

Four M.2 slots (up to 128Gbps)

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W offers a total of four M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, three that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

 

Cooling - Cooler by design

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads
The massive VRM heatsinks and essential thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

 

4-Pin PWM/DC fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

 

AIO pump header
A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.

 

Multiple temperature sources
Each header can dynamically reference four thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 lets you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

 

M.2 heatsink
Three M.2 heatsinks take care of the four M.2 slots, preventing throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during extended transfers.

 

Passive chipset heatsink
An aluminum passive chipset heatsink ensures optimal cooling and stable performance. It is more durable and longer-lasting than heatsinks with fans, which can be vulnerable to the buildup of dust and debris.

 

Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and excess current.

 

ASUS Fan Xpert 4

ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software offers comprehensive control over fans and AIO coolers. Auto-Tuning mode configures settings with one click, while Extreme Quiet mode reduces fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks. Controls are also available via the UEFI BIOS.

 

Cooler compatibility

ASUS AIO coolers offer robust performance, high overclocking potential, bold aesthetics and customizable functionality for new motherboards, empowering you to build your dream gaming rig.

 

Flexibility - Empowering connections

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W motherboard offers a versatile range of connectivity, including support for WiFi 6, the latest version of PCI Express, while an arsenal of USB ports includes Type-C connections which expands compatibility and bandwidth even further.

- WiFi 6

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W offers a total of four M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, three that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives.

 

Cooling - Cooler by design

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W motherboard is engineered with multiple onboard heatsinks and an array of hybrid fan headers to help ensure your rig stays cool and stable under intense workloads.

VRM heatsinks and thermal pads
The massive VRM heatsinks and essential thermal pads improve heat transfer from the MOSFETs and chokes for better cooling performance.

 

4-Pin PWM/DC fan
Each onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

 

AIO pump header
A dedicated PWM/DC header supports self-contained water-cooling setups.

 

Multiple temperature sources
Each header can dynamically reference four thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 4 lets you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.

 

M.2 heatsink
Three M.2 heatsinks take care of the four M.2 slots, preventing throttling that can occur with M.2 storage during extended transfers.

 

Passive chipset heatsink
An aluminum passive chipset heatsink ensures optimal cooling and stable performance. It is more durable and longer-lasting than heatsinks with fans, which can be vulnerable to the buildup of dust and debris.

 

Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and excess current.

 

ASUS Fan Xpert 4

ASUS Fan Xpert 4 software offers comprehensive control over fans and AIO coolers. Auto-Tuning mode configures settings with one click, while Extreme Quiet mode reduces fan speeds for silent operation during light tasks. Controls are also available via the UEFI BIOS.
