ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi Mini-ITX LGA1851 Motherboard
The ASRock Z890I Nova WiFi is a Mini-ITX motherboard built for compact high-performance systems using Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. It combines PCIe Gen5 storage support, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and robust power delivery in a space-constrained form factor. Designed for builders who need workstation or gaming capability without a full-size chassis.
Why this product
PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 for speed
Single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and dual DDR5 DIMM support up to 9866+ MHz (overclocked) deliver high bandwidth for graphics and memory-intensive tasks.
Wi-Fi 7 and dual Thunderbolt 4
802.11be Wi-Fi 7 and two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports (40 Gb/s each) handle fast networking and external connectivity without compromise.
Strong power delivery for overclocking
12+1+1+1+1 power phase with 110A SPS for VCore and enlarged heatsink armor support stable operation under load or tuning.
Three M.2 slots with mixed speeds
One PCIe Gen5 slot, two PCIe Gen4 slots (one supports SATA as fallback), plus two SATA3 ports cover a wide range of storage options.

- EAN4710483949739
- Fits Intel Core Ultra Processors Series 2 (LGA1851 socket) with BIOS update supporting Intel 200S Boost.
- Mini-ITX form factor suits small cases and compact builds.
- Supports DDR5 memory up to 9866+ MHz (overclocked) in dual-channel configuration.
- Two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports require compatible devices; standard USB-C peripherals may not use all bandwidth features.
- Single PCIe 5.0 x16 slot limits multi-GPU setups and expansion card count compared to ATX boards.
Best for
- Compact system builds and small-form-factor cases
- Builders prioritizing wireless connectivity and Thunderbolt 4 expansion
- Overclocking enthusiasts with strong power delivery and memory tuning headroom
- Content creators and workstation users needing multiple fast storage options
Trade-offs
- Multi-GPU systems: single PCIe x16 slot prevents dual graphics card configurations.
- Extensive expansion: Mini-ITX limits total slot count for add-in cards versus ATX or E-ATX layouts.
- Budget builds: Mini-ITX and high-end connectivity command a premium over standard form factors.

ASRock Z890 motherboards now support Intel® 200S Boost through a simple BIOS update. Users can effectively "upgrade" their existing Intel® Core Ultra processors and enjoy a significant performance boost.
This motherboard features onboard RGB headers and addressable RGB headers that allow motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strip, CPU fans, coolers, chassis and so on. Users may also synchronize RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects.
*The addressable RGB LED header supports WS2812B addressable RGB LED strip (5V/Data/GND), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), a max of 80 LEDs and length within 2 meters.
*The RGB LED header supports standard 5050 RGB LED strip (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum power rating of 3A (12V) and length within 2 meters.
SignalRGB unifies your RGB devices, offering seamless customization, game-reactive effects, macro automation, and system monitoring. The official partnership empowers ASRock motherboards with advanced lighting control, enhances compatibility with a diverse range of RGB devices, and provides greater customization flexibility.
