Everything you need for maximum productivity
The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI offers comprehensive connectivity with a Thunderbolt connection and full PCIe 5.0 support, providing unlimited bandwidth for the fastest available SSDs and graphics cards. The motherboard is equipped with five integrated M.2 slots – one PCIe 5.0 M.2 and four PCIe 4.0 M.2 – enabling data transfers at speeds of up to 128Gb/s. All M.2 slots support NVMe RAID configurations to take advantage of the latest available speeds. Both x16 expansion slots are PCIe 5.0 and offer speeds of up to 64GB/s on compatible devices. They are protected by SafeSlot retainers, and the top slot can be easily released with the Q-Release Slim button.
Maximum connectivity with Thunderbolt technology
Immerse yourself in your creations with two Thunderbolt 5 ports and one USB4 / Thunderbolt port, which can connect to all your content creation devices and enable bidirectional data transfer speeds of up to 80Gb/s and up to 120Gb/s with the Bandwidth Boost feature. Expand your creative work by connecting a separate graphics card to the integrated DisplayPort In port on the rear I/O panel and route the video output through the Thunderbolt 5 port. This gives you DisplayPort 2.1 support, which lets you connect a single 8K monitor or two 4K monitors with accurate colours, while you can daisy-chain up to five devices. A revolutionary feature is Thunderbolt Share – an ultra-fast solution that lets you easily share screens, keyboards, mice, storage, and files between two computers, including functions for controlling the other computer, file synchronisation, drag-and-drop, and data transfer to a new computer.
Ultra-fast network connection
The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI offers two ethernet ports for fast simultaneous data transfers – 2.5Gb for streaming or uploading from the internet, and 10Gb for local network attached storage (NAS), allowing for better data organisation and security. The revolutionary WiFi 7 is up to 4.8 times faster than standard WiFi 6, thanks to technologies like 320MHz channels in the 6GHz band and 4K QAM. Meanwhile, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, opening up unprecedented possibilities in gaming, streaming, and industrial IoT. The motherboard is equipped with an ASUS WiFi Q-Antenna with dual transceivers supporting the 2.4, 5, and 6GHz bands, which ensure faster throughput and directional sensitivity with up to 18% better wireless signal reception on 5/2.4GHz and up to 6% on 6GHz compared to the previous generation antenna.
The foundation of your powerful workstation
Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count processors, the ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI board is equipped with robust 16 (80A) + 1 (90A) + 2 (80A) + 2 (80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into units rated for up to 90 amps, ensuring optimal power, efficiency, stability, and performance for current Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. The eight-layer PCB design accelerates heat dissipation around the voltage regulators for improved overclocking stability, while ProCool II connectors, built to strict specifications, ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines. The resulting lower impedance helps prevent hotspots and connector failures. Superior chokes and capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures and provide a higher level of performance than the industry standard. The ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) Control, one of the best in the industry, is optimised for ultra-smooth power delivery to the processor.
Advanced AI technologies and performance optimisation
The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI offers a comprehensive suite of AI technologies, including AI Overclocking, which maximises CPU performance and predicts the ideal processor and cooling settings. The predicted values can be applied automatically or used as a starting point for further experimentation. AI Cooling II balances the thermal and acoustic properties of any PC build with a single click, eliminating unnecessary noise and dynamically adjusting fans to optimal speeds. The NPU Boost feature overclocks the integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) in Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors with a single click, increasing performance by up to 24%, which effectively speeds up AI-driven workflows. ASUS AI Advisor uses artificial intelligence to understand questions in natural language, providing beginners with clear explanations of optimisation features and offering experienced users a guide to current ASUS features.
Memory
The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI boosts DDR5 performance by providing overclocking options that would otherwise be locked, whether for high-speed or entry-level memory modules. The exclusive DIMM Fit feature in the ASUS BIOS accurately analyses individual memory modules to optimise performance and uncover potential issues, while DIMM Fit Pro provides advanced PC builders with enhanced customisation options, letting you control up to twenty overclocking parameters, set testing ranges, and prioritise stability or performance. This ensures a more flexible and detailed approach to memory optimisation. ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that lets you achieve superior memory performance with high-end CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase, comprehensive tuning process, it first optimises the clock driver and then the memory frequency, achieving the optimal balance between performance and stability, even at top speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.
Easy PC builds with DIY features
The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI introduces revolutionary DIY features that significantly simplify the installation and maintenance of components. The PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim lets you release a graphics card from its slot simply by tilting it towards the latch mechanism, without having to fiddle with a complex latch. The new M.2 heatsink with the M.2 Q-Release feature has a convenient switch for quick removal, eliminating the need for tiny screws when installing an SSD, while its strong locking mechanism ensures reliable heat dissipation. The innovative ASUS M.2 Q-Latch system makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without any special tools, using a simple single-click locking mechanism. The new M.2 Q-Slide solution with its sliding latch supports 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes for easy device installation. The Q-Antenna further simplifies connecting a Wi-Fi antenna to your PC by simply snapping it into place, which means less hassle and more consistent performance.
Everything you need to optimise your workflow
The ProArt Creator Hub is your personal portal for monitoring your PC's status, customising settings, or optimising your workflow. It features an intuitive overview dashboard with quickly switchable fan profiles and performance modes. The colour Management feature provides easy access to the Screen colour Picker and Image colour Extractor tools, letting you easily get detailed colour analysis and information. You can use the colour palette to create your personal colour preferences, and you will also find colour trends and colour palettes created by professionals at the ASUS Design Center. WorkSmart streamlines your workflows by letting you select up to 8 applications to launch simultaneously from a desktop shortcut.
Security control, remote management and enhanced user experience
The advanced security management features from ASUS Control Center Express protect your PC and confidential data. Manage USB ports by enabling, disabling or setting them to read-only mode, use the software blacklist to prevent high-risk applications from running, and remotely disable the Registry Editor to prevent unauthorised changes to your system configuration. The BIOS Q-Dashboard simplifies motherboard configuration with an intuitive visual display of hardware connections and corresponding BIOS settings, while ASUS DriverHub automatically detects the latest driver versions and shows available updates to keep your hardware up-to-date. The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI motherboard has undergone 168 hours of endurance testing at temperatures up to 45°C and 80% relative humidity to ensure 24/7 reliability and long-term support for your creativity.

Choosing a motherboard
When choosing a motherboard (or mainboard), it's important to pay close attention to the motherboard's socket type, form factor and chipset. These parameters are among the most crucial and ensure the board's compatibility with the processor, expansion cards and other components. The specific socket determines your choice of processor, while the other connectors will dictate which other components you need for your future computer.Specifications
