ASUS PRIME Z890-P WIFI Performance Review

The ASUS PRIME Z890-P WIFI features a high-end VRM setup, supplying 80 A across 14 phases. It can power high-wattage CPUs and support moderate overclocking while maintaining good voltage regulation and thermal efficiency. This makes it an excellent option for gamers and professionals who need reliable high-end CPU performance.

This motherboard includes an entry-level audio chipset — Realtek ALC897 — which provides basic sound quality suitable for casual use. While it’s acceptable for everyday tasks such as web browsing, video playback, and light gaming, it may not meet the expectations of users with mid to high-end audio setups. Audiophiles and those seeking high-fidelity sound should consider using a dedicated sound card or external DAC.

This board delivers balanced value with a performance-per-price ratio of 53.8%, offering a solid blend of features, quality, and affordability.
