Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Elite WiFi7 Plus LGA1851 ATX Motherboard
The Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Elite WiFi7 Plus is an LGA1851 ATX motherboard built for Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2). It combines a 16+1+2 phase VRM, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and PCIe 5.0 storage support for builders seeking both performance and modern I/O standards.
Why this product
Wi-Fi 7 with directional antenna
This board includes Intel BE200NGW Wi-Fi 7 with ultra-high gain directional antenna for stronger signal reach and lower latency than Wi-Fi 6.
PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 storage options
One PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for the fastest NVMe drives, plus three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots and four SATA ports give you flexibility across storage generations.
16+1+2 phase VRM with 60A DrMOS
Digital twin power stages and premium chokes stabilise voltage delivery for overclocking and sustained CPU loads.
5GbE Ethernet and USB4
Realtek 5GbE LAN handles wired traffic; USB4 Type-C adds 40 Gbps connectivity and DisplayPort video support in a single port.
ALC1220 with audiophile capacitors
WIMA-grade capacitors and Realtek's premium codec deliver cleaner audio than standard implementations, backed by optical S/PDIF output.

Best for
- Intel Core Ultra Series 2 PC builders wanting modern connectivity
- Users prioritising Wi-Fi 7 and 5GbE for low-latency gaming and streaming
- Content creators and enthusiasts using multiple NVMe drives across generations
- Builders wanting headroom for CPU overclocking via robust 16+1+2 phase VRM
- Audio-focused builds that benefit from premium codec and capacitor quality
Trade-offs
- AMD platform users: This board is Intel LGA1851 only and does not support AMD Ryzen CPUs.
- Older CPU compatibility: Requires Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors; does not support older generations or non-Core Ultra chips.
- Budget builds on a tight constraint: The Z890 platform commands a premium for its feature set; entry-level B series boards cost less.
- Users needing PoE ports: This board has no Power-over-Ethernet capability on its 5GbE LAN port.
