ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi

The Z890 Steel Legend WiFi brings ASRock's distinctive Steel Legend aesthetic to Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors, offering one of the highest single-DIMM memory overclock ratings in this batch alongside a strong 18-phase VRM.

Power delivery uses an 18+1+1+1+1 phase design with 80A SPS stages for VCore, GT, and SA rails, giving it comfortable headroom for Core Ultra 9 chips under sustained load. Four DDR5 DIMM slots run at a native 5600MHz, with overclocked speeds rated up to 9466+ MHz in single-DIMM configuration and a maximum total capacity of 256GB. Expansion includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot from the CPU, a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot at x4, and a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. Storage covers three M.2 slots: one PCIe 5.0 x4 "Blazing M.2" and two PCIe 4.0 x4 "Hyper M.2" slots, plus four SATA3 connectors. A 2.5 Gigabit LAN controller handles wired networking, paired with an 802.11be Wi-Fi 7 module and Bluetooth 5.4. Audio uses a Realtek ALC1220 codec with Nahimic audio processing. Against the ASUS ROG Strix Z890-F Gaming WiFi in this batch, the Z890 Steel Legend WiFi offers a higher single-DIMM memory OC rating (9466+ versus 9066+ MHz) at a typically lower price, making it a strong value pick for memory-focused overclockers.
