The Pinnacle of Performance
The Gigabyte Z890 AOURUS ELITE Wi-Fi 7 Ice is a premium motherboard engineered to deliver exceptional performance for gaming enthusiasts and professionals, with built-in Wi-Fi 7 functionality for super-fast networking, straight out of the box. Powered by Intel's Z890 chipset, it supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors, providing the platform for cutting-edge computing and gaming power. Featuring support for DDR5 overclocking with speeds up to 9200 MT/s, PCIe 5.0 and an advanced VRM design for reliable CPU overclocking; this board is fully featured and ready for anything. Gigabyte’s AORUS AI Snatch allows one-click optimisation of your PC components for even more of a boost to performance. Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable technology showcases their commitment to excellence by ensuring durability and reliability across all components of their motherboards. With a suite of helpful design elements and software enhancements, such as EZ Latch and Smart Fan 6, the AORUS ELITE is a fantastic choice for users seeking a premium motherboard that not only provides top performance, but also delivers wide compatibility and connectivity.
True AI. Infinite Performance
Powered by an AI engine, memory and overall system performance can be boosted with improved multi-tasking and system responsiveness. Users can overclock like an expert in an instant, through a simple interface that brings you smart, safe overclocking that won't put your components at risk. Your PC's AI processing is also accelerated for increased performance with better power efficiency.
Digital VRM Design
The Z890 AOURUS ELITE Wi-Fi 7 Ice uses a 16+1+2 Digital Twin Power Design which delivers consistent power to maintain system stability when overclocking your CPU. With 80A SPS modules, these fully digital controllers offer precision and reliability for the most important and energy-sensitive component in your PC, allowing enthusiasts to get the absolute maximum performance from Intel Core Ultra processors.
Thermal Armor Fin Array
Gigabyte have designed their VRM cooling solution to provide up to four times more surface area than traditional coolers, with a one-piece moulded heatsink design. Featuring more grooves and fins, it has an increased number of channels for air to flow over the heatsink, drawing heat away from capacitors and chokes. A dedicated heatpipe assists with efficient heat transfer and a 5W/mK themal pad increases thermal conductivity.
M.2 Thermal Guards
A dedicated heatsink with a small array of fins is provided for the main, PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, whilst the other M.2 slots are covered by a wider, one-piece heatsink. These help to prevent bottlenecking during intense workloads and large transfers, where your NVMe storage can throttle due to high temperatures from sustained, full-load usage.
The Zenith of Memory
AORUS gaming motherboards can boost DDR5 memory performance up to 9200MT/s, whilst offering top-notch compatibility. Advanced BIOS functionality provides optimisation with Intel XMP, custom SPD profiles and other management features, making it easier to get the most out of your memory. AORUS motherboards bring unmatched hardware excellence using shielded, daisy-chain memory routing optimised by AI in a multi-layer PCB made with premium materials.
Extensive USB Connections
The Z890 AOURUS ELITE Wi-Fi 7 Ice offers a versatile range of USB connections, including Thunderbolt 4, alongside a huge mix of 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and 3.2 Gen1 ports and headers that each facilitate fast transfers between drives, as well as connecting gaming accessories and office peripherals. Other connections include a DisplayPort, as well as two audio jacks and optical S/PDIF.
2.5 GbE LAN
The 2.5G LAN port provides up to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, opening the door to a whole new world of ultra-fast, lag-free gaming. This port is for gamers seeking the ultimate online gaming experience, who need the very best network support backed by premium components.
Wi-Fi 7
The AORUS ELITE offers faster speeds, lower latency, and improved efficiency over Wi-Fi 6 with its built-in networking. It supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and 4K-QAM, which combine multiple frequency bands into a single connection, and pack more data into each transmission. When combined, these features reduce congestion and boost bandwidth, for smoother gaming, faster downloads, and more stable streaming, all whilst maintaining strong connection in dense, crowded environments.
RGB FUSION
With more customisation than ever before, RGB Fusion allows you to adapt interior lighting to match the theme of your PC. With full RGB support and a redesigned application, you can have complete control over the overall look of your PC by controlling each LED surrounding your motherboard.
