ASUSProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI Z890 LGA 1851 ATX Motherboard, Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor Series 2 Ready, 16+2+1+2 stages, PCIe® 5.0, DDR5, Thunderbolt™ 5 Type-C®, 10+2.5 Gb LAN, WiFi 7, 5x M.2, AI OC

Perfect board for my pc

Neat and has a lot of options for connection. 10Gbps Lan is great, I haven’t used the Thunderbolt ports but it’s great to have it built in.BIOS was confusing for me since I’m used to asus motherboard bios from 15 years ago. Old motherboard bios was easier for me to figure out especially the boot sequence setup. I got it running eventually.

Still waiting on other components to test it. But the build quality and design are crazy impressive.

Really nice board! Love the advanced parts like pcie, lots of drive slots, old amountmof ram. The only thing I don't like is that most of the slots are under a slid shield that the video card rests into so you have to remove video card in order to install or,change drives, so,had to detract 1 and 1/2 stars for that so review should be 3 1/2 stars. The who,e thing though does look great. The sheild does do,it's job of cooling the drives. Love that it has thunderbolt 5 ports, as well as plenty of USB 3 and 4 ports. Would buy again, but it is expensive.

Bad mistake to buy Asus Z890 ProArt Creator HiFi. Many confusing similar little programs offered by Asus "to support" the board. You don't know which you need, which is newer, which works and which doesn't. Tried to upgrade the BIOS and the ME Firmware. It updated the BIOS, not the Firmware. Asus was saying it will update both. Tried to update the Firmware using the "ME Firmware Update Tool". It didn't work. Wasted a lot of time explaining the problem to a technician, using chat. He didn't have an explanation or a solution. He escalated my problem/request/complain to a ticket with their technical support. Received from technical support an email describing... "how to clear the CMOS"!Come on: this is an almost $500 motherboard! CAN SOMEONE AT ASUS WRITE ONE PAGE OR LESS AND CLEARLY EXPLAIN WHICH LITTLE PROGRAM IS ABLE TO SCAN YOUR SYSTEM AND UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS WITHOUT PROBLEMS?! Is that too much to ask for? Is that too complicated in 2025? This is the fifth computer I have built. For the first four I used Gigabyte motherboards for less than half of the price of this one: absolutely no problem with all four Gigabyte boards. With Asus I wasted a lot of money, a lot of time and I'm still waiting for a solution. Isn't it great?
