Gigabyte Z890 UD LGA1851 DDR5 ATX Motherboard

The Gigabyte Z890 UD is a premium ATX motherboard built with Gigabyte’s reputable Ultra Durable™ architecture. It supports the latest Intel LGA 1851 (Intel® Core™ Ultra) CPUs and blazing-fast DDR5 memory, making it ideal for enthusiasts and creators seeking a rock-solid, future-ready foundation.

Ultra Turbo Mode (BIOS-Level Performance Boost)

Gigabyte’s all-new Ultra Turbo Mode, introduced in June 2025, is a BIOS-level optimization exclusive to Z890 motherboards. It offers three performance profiles—LV1 (Intel 200S Boost), LV2 (aggressive tuning), and LV3 (maximum performance)—delivering up to 35% higher frame rates in gaming and 68% gains in memory performance (AIDA64 benchmarks). This powerful, user-selectable BIOS feature takes advantage of unlocked power limits and fine-tuned memory adjustments for true plug-and-play power boosts.

Advanced AI PCB & BIOS Optimization

The board features a triad of AI-enhanced technologies for best-in-class signal integrity and memory tuning:

• AI‑ViaFusion™: Uses AI to adjust via and pad layouts on the PCB, reducing signal reflection, impedance mismatches, and cross-talk.

• AI‑Trace™: Optimizes trace routing to combat fiber weave effect and ensure clean, high-speed signal paths

• AI‑Layer™: Customizes PCB stack-up and materials for enhanced performance—includes low-loss TCP (2× copper) layers on server-grade 8‑layer layout

• HyperTune BIOS: AI in BIOS fine-tunes Memory Reference Code (MRC), automatically optimizing memory stability and clock speeds with >95% efficiency

Rock-Solid Power & Thermal Architecture

• Digital‑Twin 12+1+2 VRM with all-DrMOS phases: 12 for Core (60A), 1 for iGPU (40A), 2 for SoC (60A each)—ensuring rocksteady voltages during peak loads

• Full-cover MOSFET heatsink, with one-piece metal design and 3× larger surface area than typical heatsinks—superior heat dissipation ensured

• Smart Fan 6 support: Each fan header can handle 24 W (12 V×2 A), with precise dual-curve control, stops, and auto tuning for optimized airflow

Enhanced DIY & Build-Friendly Features

• Use of EZ­­-Latch mechanisms across PCIe and M.2 slots for tool-free installs and removal.

• Built-in I/O shield, Q-Flash Plus BIOS update button, and EZ Debug LEDs support rapid troubleshooting and zero-risk BIOS updates.

• Support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) and header for Thunderbolt™ add-in cards, making it easier to add enterprise-grade security or high-speed peripherals

Enterprise-level Networking & Connectivity

• USB4 Type-C (40 Gbps + DisplayPort alt) ensures ultra-fast data transfer and support for high-res displays

• 2.5 GbE LAN for faster wired networking and low latency.

• (UD‑WiFi variant) Wi‑Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.3, offering multi‑Gbps wireless performance and stable connections in high-device-density environments

Storage & Expansion Unleashed

• PCIe 5.0 x16 full-length slot, AND PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots (CPU and chipset driven) for maximum flexibility and future readiness

• 4× M.2 slots:

  • 1× PCIe 5.0 x4

  • 1× PCIe 4.0 x4 (CPU)

  • 1× PCIe 4.0/SATA (chipset)—totaling excellent compatibility with high-end NVMe SSDs.

• 4× SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 support for advanced storage configurations

Ultra Durable Build Quality
