MaxMyBuild scores
How we score →How well the ROG Strix Z890-I WiFi is equipped for gaming and for productivity, scored 0–100 from its specs. Scores are fit-for-purpose: a capable board can top the gaming score without being the most expensive. Each factor is judged against what LGA1851 processors can use, so the score compares this board with the others you could buy for the same chip.
Weighs CPU power delivery, memory speed support, the GPU PCIe slot, Wi-Fi version, and M.2 storage — the things that actually matter for a gaming build.
Rewards fast, plentiful M.2 storage and USB I/O, PCIe expansion, memory capacity and slots — what matters for content creation and heavy multitasking.
CPU power
552 W
Overbuilt · 2.2x
Wired for about 552 W, roughly 2.2x the 250 W that the top Core Ultra 9 chips pull, so nothing on this socket will run it short of power. The figure comes from its 10+1+2+1 power-stage (VRM) layout and 8+8 EPS connectors. It is a rating of what the board is built to deliver, not a measurement, so treat it as headroom rather than a guarantee.
