Four M.2 ​​​​slots (up to 128Gbps)

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W offers a total of four M.2 slots, including one that supports data-transfer speeds of up to 128Gbps via PCIe 5.0, three that support 64Gbps via PCIe 4.0. This enables quicker boot-up and app load times with OS or application drives

AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher

DIMM Fit

DIMM Fit is an ASUS-exclusive BIOS feature that precisely analyzes individual memory modules to optimize performance and pinpoint potential issues. This offers peak efficiency, compatibility, and system stability. Whether you are an overclocker seeking ultimate performance, a competitor pursuing the most responsive gameplay, or a content creator prioritizing rock-solid stability, DIMM Fit provides optimizations tailored to your needs and your hardware configuration

USB 20Gbps Type-C

The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W comes loaded with two USB 20Gbps Type-C connectors for speedy data transfers up to 20 Gbps. One is a port on the rear I/O, this port can also supports external 4K DisplayPort video output; the other can be attached to the chassis front panel and it also features Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 technology to quickly charge devices up to 30W.

M.2 Q-Latch

The innovative ASUS Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools or screws. This design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly detach it with one tap.

Q-LED

The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components – CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices – are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed–even before booting.
