Description

Gigabyte Z890 GAMING X WIFI7 Motherboard

This board is the definition of smart strength. Built around Intel’s Z890 chipset for LGA 1851, it supports Core Ultra Series 2 processors and is dripping with future-proof features. You’re looking at DDR5 memory that rockets past 8,800 MT/s with AI-enhanced tuning, PCIe 5.0 for next-gen GPUs, USB4 and USB-C, and Wi-Fi 7 for ultra-fast wireless. Four M.2 slots, including one PCIe 5.0, keep your storage expanding. Cooling is proactive with robust thermal armor and easy-swap M.2 latches. Build-focused elements like EZ-Latch slots, EZ-Plug Wi-Fi mounts, and Q-Flash Plus BIOS flashing reduce headaches. If you’re building to last without overspending on glare, this is the board.
