ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI

The ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI empowers creators of all levels by maximizing the performance of the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor (Series 2) processors with 16+1+2+2 team power stages, DDR5 slots, PCIe® 5.0 and lightning-fast connectivity including dual Thunderbolt™ 5 ports, 10G and 2.5G Ethernet, and WiFi 7.

This motherboard manifests a professional, elegant and precise vision for content creators of all kinds, with a style elevated by tone-on-tone layers of black infused with metallic gold touches. A subtly designed I/O cover provides a sleek and sophisticated look while concealing the premium connectors within.

Get immersed in your creations with two Thunderbolt™ 5 ports and one Thunderbolt™ 4 port for connecting to all your compatible content-creation gadgets, enjoying up to 120 Gbps bi-directional data transfers. To further push your creative work with one 8K or two 4K color-accurate monitors, you can connect your discrete graphics card to the onboard DisplayPort™ In port on the rear I/O panel and direct the video output via the Thunderbolt™ 5 port.

Designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs, the ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI features 16(90A)+1(90A)+2(90A)+2(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 90 amps each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for new Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2).

The integrated Neural Processing Unit in Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows — and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.

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 no longer need to fiddle with a tricky latch or even press a button to release their graphics card from the slot.

A spark of inspiration can breathe life into a concept that leads to a masterpiece. ProArt is a comprehensive ecosystem providing professional creators with a stable foundation for your inspiration. These custom workstations feature award-winning ProArt motherboards, graphics cards, CPU coolers and chassis, pairing with ProArt displays to accelerate your creative workflow and bring the boldest visions and ideas to life.
