GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7
The GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 is an ATX motherboard for Intel Core Ultra processors using the LGA1851 socket. Its Intel Z890 Express chipset platform includes four DDR5 DIMM sockets and four M.2 connectors with a mix of PCIe 5.0, PCIe 4.0 and SATA support.
For expansion, the board has a CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and two chipset-connected PCIe 4.0 x4 slots. Networking includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and Realtek 2.5GbE LAN. Display outputs and some memory and display capabilities depend on the processor and installed configuration.
The motherboard also provides a rear Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C port, a separate DisplayPort 2.1 output and a front-panel HDMI 1.4 connection. Check processor, memory, case and device requirements when planning a build; the manufacturer notes that memory support and display functionality depend on the processor or configuration.
