Setup is now faster and smarter than ever. ASUS AI Overclocking analyzes the CPU and cooling system to predict the optimal configuration, pushing the system to its limits. Predicted values can be applied automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation.
One of the built-in M.2 slots provides an impressive read and write speed of up to 16 GB/s, while the others offer up to 8 GB/s. Each M.2 slot is equipped with powerful heatsinks to dissipate heat from next-generation storage devices.
The Strix Z890-F provides end-to-end support for PCIe 5.0, with the top x16 expansion slot protected by a SafeSlot bracket capable of handling the weight of the latest graphics cards.
AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies for continuous network performance optimization, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted connections while unlocking the full speed of WiFi 7.
Enhanced signal routing allows enthusiast kits to reach beyond the 8 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-F. For experienced users, UEFI offers a wide range of fine-tuning options to maximize performance.
VRM heatsinks on MOSFETs and chokes are connected by an integrated heat pipe to enhance heat dissipation when working with high-performance Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (Series 2).
