ASRock Z890 Taichi AQUA — Flagship E-ATX Motherboard
Industry-first detachable VRM & M.2 water block, all-Type-C rear I/O and 28+1+2+1+1 power delivery for Intel Core Ultra Series 2.
Intel Z890 · LGA1851DDR5 up to 9600+ MHz OC2× Thunderbolt 4 / USB4Wi-Fi 7 + 10GbE LAN
The ASRock Z890 Taichi AQUA (part number 90-MXBPL0-A0UAYZ, EAN 4710483949661) is a flagship E-ATX motherboard for Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 processors on the LGA1851 socket, built on the Intel Z890 chipset for enthusiasts chasing extreme overclocking and next-generation connectivity. It introduces an industry-first hybrid cooling design with a detachable VRM and M.2 water block, plus an all-USB-Type-C rear I/O with dual Thunderbolt™ 4/USB4. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility: Supports only Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Arrow Lake) CPUs on the LGA1851 socket — not compatible with LGA1700 (12th–14th Gen) chips. Uses DDR5 memory only (no DDR4). This is an EATX board (30.5 × 27.4 cm), larger than standard ATX — confirm your case lists EATX support. The VRM/M.2 water block is part of a hybrid design: the board runs air-cooled out of the box and the block can later be plumbed into a custom liquid-cooling loop.
Best For
✓Extreme overclockers pushing Core Ultra Series 2 and DDR5
✓Custom water-cooling builds using the detachable VRM/M.2 block
✓Content creators needing 10GbE LAN and Thunderbolt 4
✓High-end gaming rigs with PCIe 5.0 graphics
✓Gen5 NVMe RAID storage arrays
✓AI/workstation loads leveraging the CPU NPU and fast I/O
Key Features
Industry-First Hybrid Water Cooling
A detachable VRM and M.2 water block lets you run the board air-cooled or integrate it into a custom loop for lower VRM and SSD temperatures under sustained load.
Extreme 110A Power Delivery
A 28+1+2+1+1 power phase with 110A Smart Power Stages and enlarged heatsink armor feeds stable current to overclocked Core Ultra Series 2 processors.
All-Type-C Rear I/O + Thunderbolt 4
Dual Thunderbolt™ 4/USB4 Type-C ports deliver 40 Gb/s and up to 8K display output, alongside a fully Type-C rear panel for modern peripherals.
Next-Gen Storage & Networking
Six M.2 sockets (two PCIe Gen5x4), 4× SATA3 with RAID, Marvell 10GbE + Realtek 5GbE dual LAN, and Killer Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The Taichi AQUA sits at the very top of ASRock's Z890 line, above the standard Taichi and the Nova WiFi. Its differentiators are the industry-first detachable VRM/M.2 water block and the all-Type-C rear I/O — built for custom-loop and hardcore overclocking rigs. If you are not planning a custom loop, the standard Z890 Taichi offers similar power delivery and connectivity for less. Either way, pair it with a fast DDR5 memory kit rated for XMP to unlock its overclocking headroom.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want the flagship Z890 with hybrid water-cooling, 10GbE, dual Thunderbolt 4 and Gen5 storage for an extreme Arrow Lake build.
Skip it if
You are on a budget or air-cooling only — a standard Taichi or Z890 Nova covers most needs for considerably less.
Also consider
ASRock Z890 Taichi for the same power/IO without the water block, or Z890 Nova WiFi as a lower-cost enthusiast option.
