ASUS AI Advisor
ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimisation features like AI Overclocking and AI Cooling II, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS.
AI Overclocking
ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
AI Cooling II
Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds.
AI Networking II
Traffic Monitor
Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button* for improved network performance.
Fast Check
Armoury Crate’s Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength?.
Direction Finder
Armoury Crate’s Direction Finder* helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for achieving the best WiFi signal strength.
GameFirst
GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimises networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various application-customisable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA® GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest latency possible during intense game streaming cloud gaming sessions. To provide a better user’s experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate.
PCIe Slot Q-Release
With PCIe® Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.
M.2 Q-Release
The M.2 heatsink features a convenient switch* to quickly remove it, eliminating the need for tiny screws during SSD installation. Its strong locking mechanism also provides a snug contact surface, helping to ensure reliable heat dissipation for your SSD.
New M.2 Q-Latch
The new Q-Latch design allows for tool-free installation or removal of M.2 SSDs with just one press.
M.2 Q-Slide
This new sliding M.2 latch design supports sizes 2242, 2260, and 2280 for easy device installation.
Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle and more consistent performance.?
Seven Onboard M.2 Slots
The ROG Strix Z890-E features seven onboard M.2 slots, three of which are PCIe 5.0-ready to offer blistering 16 GB/s speeds, while the others offer still impressive 8 GB/s over PCIe 4.0 interfaces.
ROG M.2 PowerBoost
ROG M.2 PowerBoost is an exclusive ASUS motherboard feature that provides amperage exceeding industry standards, supporting up to seven M.2 devices to operate simultaneously at optimal performance. This advanced power setup helps ensure stability and data integrity even under high loads, while also helping to ensure the rated lifespan of an M.2 SSD.
PCIe 5.0 Expansion Slot
The first x16 expansion slot has the PCIe 5.0 treatment to offer incredible speeds up to 64 GB/s for compatible devices, with full support for next-gen graphics cards. To bear the brunt of massive graphics cards, it is also protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket and can be released easily thanks to the PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim.
Power Design
Power Architecture
The VRM features 18+1+2+2 power stages, each rated to handle up to 110 amps
Alloy Chokes & Durable Capacitors
Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
Dual ProCool Power II Connectors
ProCool II connectors are precision-built to ensure flush contact with PSU power lines. A metal sheath improves heat dissipation and lowers electrical impedance.?
Eight-Layer PCB
A 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.?
DDR5 Strength
ROG has a rich history of delivering top-tier memory performance, and DDR5 is no exception. Enhanced signal routing can push enthusiast-grade kits well beyond the 8 GT/s threshold on the Strix Z890-E, with even greater speeds on the horizon. For experienced users, the UEFI offers a wide range of options to fine-tune and push performance to its limits.
NitroPath DRAM Technology
NitroPath DRAM Technology reduces noise interference via shorter gold finger pins and optimised signal pathways within the motherboard.
Smoother signal transmission with less noise and reflection translates to an overall improved experience with high-end memory kits. The optimised layout ensures faster data transfers between your DRAM and CPU, maximising your system’s overall performance.
Cooler By Design
VRM Heatsink Array
Two thick heatsinks covering the power delivery section provide strategic airflow channels for increased heat dissipation while empowering high-performance Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2)
M.2 Combo Sink
This M.2 heatsink integrates a direct-contact U-shaped heat pipe to achieve optimal operating temperatures, and it has been upgraded with a larger surface area for even more cooling.
M.2 Backplate
An integrated backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives can deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
M.2 Heatsinks
Heatsinks cover every slot to help keep onboard NVME SSDs at optimal temperatures for consistent performance and reliability.
Comprehensive Networking
WIFI 7
The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM*. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
