Product overview

Announced in mid‑October 2024 and available from October 25, 2024 in some regions, the Z890 AORUS Elite WIFI7 is a Gigabyte ATX motherboard for Intel’s LGA1851/Core Ultra (Series 2, Arrow Lake‑S) platform. It’s built on the Z890 chipset, enabling CPU overclocking and next‑gen I/O including PCIe 5.0 and DDR5.

Positioned as a high_end Z‑series board, it exists to deliver most flagship features without halo pricing. It suits builds that want four NVMe drives (one PCIe 5.0), fast DDR5 (4 DIMMs/256 GB, XMP), Wi‑Fi 7 plus 2.5GbE, and plentiful PCIe expansion—ideal for storage‑heavy creator rigs or upgrade‑friendly gaming/work PCs. Notably, it integrates a rear Thunderbolt 4 (USB4) Type‑C port—rare at this tier. As of October 2026 it is not discontinued and continues receiving driver updates.
