Asus ProArt Z890-Creator WiFi LGA1851 ATX Motherboard

Z890-Creator WiFi

The Asus ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI empowers creators of all levels by maximizing the performance of the latest Intel^® Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 2) processors with 16+1+2+2 team power stages, DDR5 slots, PCIe^® 5.0 and lightning-fast connectivity including dual Thunderbolt™ 5 ports, 10G and 2.5G Ethernet, and WiFi 7.

This motherboard manifests a professional, elegant and precise vision for content creators of all kinds, with a style elevated by tone-on-tone layers of black infused with metallic gold touches. A subtly designed I/O cover provides a sleek and sophisticated look while concealing the premium connectors within.

Thunderbolt™ Connectivity

Get immersed in your creations with two Thunderbolt™ 5 ports and one Thunderbolt™ 4 port for connecting to all your compatible content-creation gadgets, enjoying up to 120 Gbps bi-directional data transfers. To further push your creative work with one 8K or two 4K color-accurate monitors, you can connect your discrete graphics card to the onboard DisplayPort™ In port on the rear I/O panel and direct the video output via the Thunderbolt™ 5 port*.

Ultrafast Networking​

10 Gb & 2.5 Gb Ethernet

Dual Ethernet ports provide fast data transfers simultaneously for 2.5G internet streaming or uploading and 10G for local network-attached storage (NAS), allowing for improved data organization and security.

WiFi 7

The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to technology like 320 MHz channels on the 6 GHz 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.

ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna

Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.

The Core of Your Powerful Workstation

Robust Power Design

Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs, the ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI features 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for new Intel^® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).

Performance Boost

NPU Boost

The integrated Neural Processing Unit 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%*.

* Results were with an Intel^® Core™ Ultra 9 285K processor, ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme motherboard, GeForce RTX™ 4090 24GB graphics card, and XPG Lancer DDR5 memory modules (model AX5U6000C4016G). Individual results may vary.

Color Management​

One of the most important things for creators is color. The top right corner allows easy access to the Color Management feature. This includes the Screen Color Picker and Image Color Extractor that make it simple to get a detailed color analysis and color information, and you can use the Color Palette to build your personal color preferences. You will also find color trends and color palettes created by the professionals at the ASUS Design Center.
