| Revew | Gigabyte Z890 UD WIFI6E MotherboardThe Gigabyte Z890 UD WIFI6E is an Ultra Durable series 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. According to the manufacturer, the board uses a Twin 12+1+2 digital VRM with DrMOS, a one-piece MOSFET heatsink and three M.2 slots, one of them PCIe 5.0 x4. It offers a USB4 Type-C port at up to 40Gb/s with DisplayPort output, 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth. 
Key features- Ultra Durable power design - 12 VCORE phases with 60A DrMOS (6+6 parallel design), one 40A VCCGT phase and two 60A VCCSA phases, with 8+8-pin solid-pin power connectors.
- DDR5 and CUDIMM - Four dual-channel DDR5 slots take up to 256GB at up to 9200 MT/s (OC), with XMP profiles and CUDIMM support. The AI-driven HyperTune BIOS tunes memory parameters for stable performance.
- PCIe 5.0 storage - Three M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 (one also supports SATA), with an M.2 Thermal Guard heatsink. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are also supported.
- Comprehensive cooling - A one-piece MOSFET heatsink with up to 3 times the surface area, 5 W/mK pads and Smart Fan 6 with six fan and pump headers of up to 24W each, including fan stop at low load.
- Fast connectivity - A USB4 Type-C port at up to 40Gb/s with DisplayPort output, a DisplayPort output, 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E that also uses the 6GHz band. WIFI EZ-Plug combines the antenna plugs into one adapter.
- Easy building and updating - A reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 PCIe UD Slot with PCIe EZ-Latch quick release, an EZ-Debug zone with diagnostic LEDs, an onboard power button and a Q-Flash Plus button for BIOS updates.
