| Revew | Gigabyte Z890 GAMING X WiFi7 MotherboardThe Gigabyte Z890 GAMING X WIFI7 is an ATX motherboard for the LGA1851 socket, built for Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors. It is based on the Intel Z890 chipset and supports DDR5 memory in four slots, up to 256GB and up to 9200 MT/s (OC), including CUDIMM modules and XMP profiles. According to the manufacturer, the board uses a 16+1+2 digital VRM with 60A DrMOS. It offers a reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, four M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4), a USB4 port and a DisplayPort output for the integrated graphics, 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4. 
Key features- 16+1+2 phase VRM - A Twin digital VRM with 60A DrMOS, a 2X Copper PCB and two 8-pin CPU power connectors with solid pins. VRM Thermal Armor Advanced with a heatpipe and a 5 W/mK thermal pad.
- DDR5 with D5 Bionic Corsa - Four DDR5 slots take up to 256GB at up to 9200 MT/s (OC), with CUDIMM support. D5 Bionic Corsa improves memory performance, and AI Perfdrive offers BIOS preset profiles tailored to the user.
- PCIe 5.0 and storage - A PCIe 5.0 x16 UD Slot X, 10 times stronger according to the manufacturer, two PCIe 4.0 x4 slots and four M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4 with M.2 Thermal Guard. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports are also included.
- USB4 and displays - A USB4 Type-C port and a DisplayPort output, both DisplayPort 2.1 up to 3840x2160@144Hz. An internal HDMI port (Sensor Panel Link) drives an in-case info panel, for up to three displays in total.
- Fast networking - Realtek 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4 and a directional high-gain antenna that attaches quickly with WIFI EZ-Plug.
- Easy building - EZ-Latch Plus and EZ-Latch Click let you install and release the graphics card, M.2 drives and heatsinks without screws. The EZ-Debug Zone has debug LEDs, a power button and Multi-key, plus a Q-Flash Plus button for BIOS updates.
