Alloy Chokes and Durable Capacitors - Hi-end chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, enabling performance that exceeds industry standards.
Ten-Layer PCB - A multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.

Cooling

M.2 and Chipset Heatsinks - To save space, both on-board M.2 slots and heatsinks are stacked together over the chipset. And to keep the thermals of installed high-performance drives in check, the entire array is cooled by an embedded fan.
VRM Heatsink - The VRM heatsink extends over the rear I/O to maximize surface area and include a VRM fan for active cooling to deftly handle the power thermals of the latest Intel processors, while leaving clearance for large CPU coolers.
High-Conductivity Thermal Pads - High-quality thermal pads are utilized between power stages and heatsinks, helping to improve heat transfer and reduce VRM operating temperatures.
CPU Fan Headers - A dedicated pair of PWM/DC fan headers provides easy access to CPU coolers.
AIO Pump Fan Header - A dedicated PWM/DC header connects self-contained water-cooling setups.
4-pin Fan Headers - The Strix Z890-I features five chassis fan headers, each supporting auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.
Fan Bracket - Introducing the versatile ROG Strix Z890-I Gaming Wifi Fan Bracket, designed to ensure high airflow for this motherboard’s dual M.2 slots or DRAM slots when you add a 30 mm or 40 mm fan. This addition to your compact gaming build combines functionality with signature ROG aesthetics, and it can accommodate a variety of cooling needs.

WiFi 7 - The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8X times faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 320 MHz channels on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
Asus WiFi Q-Antenna - Dual transceivers support the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands to enable faster throughput, with directional sensitivity to improve signal quality and cover greater distances.
Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet - Onboard Intel® 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
PCIe 5.0 - The Strix Z890-I offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support. The topmost x16 expansion slot is also protected with a SafeSlot retention bracket to bear the weight of the latest graphics cards. Each of the M.2 slots offers read and write speeds up to a blistering 16 GB/s, while the remaining slot can deliver still-impressive 8 GB/s transfers. Both M.2 slots are covered with substantial heatsinks to dispatch the heat of next-gen storage.
Two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C® Ports - Each port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Both ports can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.

EZ PC DIY

M.2 Q-Release Duo - M.2 Q-Release Duo creates space for two M.2 SSDs where only one would normally fit, and where a pair of PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives can operate at full speed. This solution deftly enhances cooling and helps ensure peak SSD performance. Its futuristic aesthetic also communicates high-tech capabilities, making it ideal for gaming rigs where form meets function. This design prepares your system for the future and offers a unique build experience, solidifying its place as a cutting-edge component in compact gaming setups.
PCIe® Slot Q-Release Slim - With PCIe® Slot Q-Release Slim, simply tilt the card toward the latching mechanism to automatically unlock it from the PCIe slot. This makes upgrades and maintenance easier than ever before. Users will no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.
Q-Antenna - With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.
BIOS FlashBack - BIOS FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update BIOS. Just drop the (UEFI) BIOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BIOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.
