Gigabyte Z890 AORUS MASTER for the New Core Ultra

The Gigabyte Z890 AORUS MASTER arrives as a motherboard designed for the new generation of Intel Core Ultra processors. Its proposal focuses on efficient thermal management and extensive storage capacity, supporting up to five M.2 SSD units. It is a solid option for building a high-performance system without complications.

Next-generation thermal design and connectivity 🔥

This board integrates a 20+1+2 phase VRM with 110A, backed by a Fins-Array heatsink covering both the MOSFETs and the chipset. In terms of storage, it offers five M.2 slots, all with thermal heatsinks and one compatible with PCIe 5.0. Connectivity includes WiFi 7 and 10GbE Ethernet, along with USB4 Type-C ports on the rear panel. The 8-layer PCB design aims to reduce signal interference.

Five drives and a heatsink that sees it all 🥶

With five M.2 slots, you could fill the board with drives until you forget which files you saved on each one. The thermal heatsink is so large it seems ready to cool your morning coffee as well. If you install all SSDs, the case airflow will have to negotiate with this aluminum mass. At least, WiFi 7 will let you complain about internet speed while waiting for everything to cool down.
