Performance | AI Solutions
ASUS AI Solutions include AI Advisor as your technical expert with expertise in PC performance, AI Cooling II for automated temperature control.
AI Advisor
ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.
AI Cooling II
Optimized thermals and reduced noise via dynamic adjustment of fan speeds, based on CPU temperatures.
Performance | NPU Boost
The integrated NPU in Intel®Core™Ultra Processors (Series 2) efficiently accelerates AI workflows - and NPU Boost lets you do more with it. This BIOS feature overclocks the NPU with just one click, increasing performance by up to 24%.
Performance | Robust power design
Stable power is crucial for maximizing the performance of Intel®Core™Ultra Processors (Series 2). The Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W is designed to meet the needs of high-core-count CPUs. It features 12(80A) + 1(80A) + 2(80A) + 1(80A) power stages that integrate high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into packages rated for up to 80 amperes each. This configuration ensures optimal power delivery, efficiency, stability and performance for both current and future Intel®processors.

The multi-layered printed circuit board design quickly dissipates heat around the voltage regulators to improve overall system stability and provide the CPU with more overclocking headroom.
Proprietary connectors augment the motherboard's link to the power supply with 8 + 8 pin connectors that pass 12 volts of power directly to the processor. Each connector features solid pins that can handle more current than hollow-pin connectors.
The Power Saving function contains several settings to easily optimize power consumption and maximize energy savings. You can enable a CPU power limit, darken Aura lighting and set the fan profile to a Power Saving mode. You can also toggle the Power Saver plan that is built into Microsoft Windows.
The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings.
Enhanced Memory & Storage Performance | AEMP III for Ultimate DDR5 Performance
ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) is an advanced firmware feature that empowers users to achieve unparalleled memory performance with cutting-edge CUDIMM memory. Through a two-phase comprehensive tuning process, AEMP III first optimizes the clock driver and then the memory frequency. This results in the best balance between performance and stability, even at cutting-edge speeds of DDR5-8000 or higher.
