The GIGABYTE Z890M AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE is a micro ATX motherboard for Intel's Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Despite its compact size, it offers a solid combination of features and I/O capability.

For external connectivity, the rear I/O panel has one USB4 Type C along with nine USB Type A ports of varying speeds. A 2.5Gbps network port is available, as well as WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Analog and digital audio connectors are present, along with a DisplayPort output for the Intel Xe-LPG graphics from the CPU.

Internally this motherboard has four DDR5 memory slots, supporting up to 192GB of RAM. For storage, there are three M.2 slots and four SATA III ports. One PCI Express 5.0 x16 slot is available for a graphics card, as well as a PCIe 4.0 slot (x16 size but only x4 speed) for another add-in card.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
This "ICE" variant has a white color scheme rather than the darker colors more commonly found on internal computer components. Because we don't use cases with windows, this is really only visible if you open up the system or look at the rear I/O panel (which is also white).
