GIGABYTE Motherboard Z890 UD WIFI6E s1851 Z890 4xDDR5 M.2 Wi-Fi DP ATX

Features

GIGABYTE Z890 UD WIFI6E is designed for building PCs based on Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. The LGA1851 socket and Intel Z890 chipset form a modern platform for productive desktop systems with support for current memory, fast storage and expanded interfaces.

The Digital Twin 12+1+2 phases VRM power design with 60A DrMOS, 2X Copper PCB, quality chokes and capacitors is aimed at stable CPU operation under load. Two 8-pin ATX 12V power connectors help provide the platform with the power reserve needed for productive configurations.

The board has 4 DDR5 DIMM slots with support for up to 256 GB of system memory. Frequencies up to 9200 MT/s in OC mode, dual-channel architecture, XMP profiles and CUDIMM support provide room for memory tuning for different scenarios - from workstation use to gaming PCs.

The main PCIe 5.0 x16 slot with EZ-Latch quick release is provided for a graphics card or compatible NVMe SSD. Additional PCIe 4.0 x4 and PCIe 4.0 x1 slots allow expansion cards, controllers, capture adapters, network cards or other hardware to be installed.

Storage can be organized through three M.2 connectors and four SATA 6Gb/s ports. One M.2 works through PCIe 5.0, another through PCIe 4.0, and the third supports SATA and PCIe 4.0, allowing a system to combine fast NVMe SSDs and classic SATA drives.

Networking includes 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E with 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands, as well as Bluetooth 5.3. The rear panel provides USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort, a separate DisplayPort, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 2.0, RJ-45, SMA antenna connectors and audio jacks for peripherals, displays and network connections.
