ASUS TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WiFi (LGA1851)

ASUS TUF Gaming Z890-Plus WiFi (LGA1851)

A pro-tier ATX Z890 board for Core Ultra 200S with WiFi 7, Thunderbolt 4, and four M.2 slots — among the top motherboards here. It's a well-rounded LGA1851 platform with overclocking-capable Z890 silicon and strong I/O. It's Intel-only, naturally, and overkill for budget Intel builds where a B860 board costs less while gaming the same.

Compatibility

Built around ATX, DDR5, Intel LGA1851, PCIe 5.0. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →

Upgrade path

A top-tier motherboard — there's little to upgrade to within the category.
