The type with questionable pricing for the time being omits Thunderbolt, only cools an M.2 connector, and also takes a pragmatic approach to the VRM topic.

Biostar recently presented the Z890AX-E PRO named ATX motherboard, which comes with an Intel Z890 control bridge and a 12+1+1 phase, 60 ampere VRM.

At first glance, the model in question wants to prevail in the more cost-effective group of the category, since the voltage regulator circuits are only partially covered by aluminum fins, somewhat unusually among solutions equipped with an ominous chip. The board’s four DIMM slots can handle up to 192 GB of DDR5 memory ticking at an effective clock of 8000 MHz with tuning, while expansion cards are supported by a metal-reinforced, x16 PCI Express 5.0, an also “armored” x16 – but x4 wired for bandwidth – PCI Express 4.0 and two x1 PCI Express 3.0 rails are waiting for you.

The external storage can be connected to four M.2 2280 slots (one PCI Express 5.0 with rib, plus three PCI Express 4.0) and four SATA ports, while the network department has a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet powered by a Realtek RTL8125D controller. pulled himself together – if we want a cable-free connection, we have to populate the empty M.2 2230 Key E slot with a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module. The role of the audio chip is played by an eight-channel Realtek ALC1220 chip, and although it may seem at first glance that the I/O shield is fixed, in fact only the metal hangs over the interfaces.

On the back, a 1.2 DisplayPort, two HDMI outputs (one 2.1, one 1.4b version), two antenna sockets, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and seven USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, three 3.5 mm audio jack, the aforementioned RJ-45 connector, and a BIOS Update button. One USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and four USB 2.0 sockets can be connected to the front panel, while four rows of PWM spikes are available for our system cooling fans.
