Gigabyte Z890 EAGLE WIFI7 PLUS — value Z890 ATX with Wi-Fi 7 and USB4
Intel Z890 · LGA1851DDR5 9466+ MT/s (OC) · CUDIMM2.5GbE · Wi-Fi 7USB4 · PCIe 5.0 M.2
The Gigabyte Z890 EAGLE WIFI7 PLUS (part number Z890 EAGLE WIFI7 P) is an ATX motherboard for Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors on LGA1851, using the Z890 chipset for CPU and memory overclocking — a value-focused entry into the Z890 platform for gaming and creator PCs.
A 14+1+2 twin digital VRM feeds the CPU, four DDR5 slots take up to 256GB with overclocked kits beyond 9466 MT/s (CUDIMM supported), and the PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics slot is joined by four M.2 slots — one PCIe 5.0 x4 (up to 25110) and three PCIe 4.0 x4, one of which also accepts SATA M.2 drives.
Networking combines Realtek 2.5GbE with Intel Wi-Fi 7 (BE202, 160 MHz) and Bluetooth 5.4, while the rear panel offers USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort output, two 10 Gbps USB-A ports, ALC1220 audio with optical S/PDIF, and headers for a Gigabyte Thunderbolt 5 add-in card.
Compatibility note: Rear video is limited to one DisplayPort 2.1 and the USB4 port — there is no HDMI. Wi-Fi 7 needs Windows 11 (no Windows 10 driver). The two x16-length chipset slots run PCIe 4.0 x4. Core Ultra F-series CPUs have no integrated graphics, so the rear display outputs will not work with them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Z890 EAGLE WIFI7 PLUS and the Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 PLUS?
The AORUS ELITE adds 5GbE instead of 2.5GbE, 320 MHz Wi-Fi 7 (BE200) and a stronger 16+1+2 VRM. Storage, USB4, memory support and expansion are otherwise the same.
What is the difference from the Z890 EAGLE PLUS?
The EAGLE PLUS drops the Wi-Fi 7 / Bluetooth module; the rest of the feature set is aimed at the same value Z890 builds.
Does it have HDMI?
No. Integrated graphics output is through one DisplayPort 2.1 and the USB4 Type-C port. Use a USB-C or DP to HDMI adapter if needed.
Does it support Windows 10?
Gigabyte lists Windows 11 64-bit only, and the Wi-Fi 7 module has no Windows 10 driver.
Singular Expert Insight
The EAGLE WIFI7 PLUS delivers the important Z890 features — a Gen5 M.2 slot, USB4, CUDIMM support and Wi-Fi 7 — at a lower price than AORUS models. Heavy overclockers and 5GbE users should step up to the AORUS ELITE WIFI7 PLUS. Pair it with DDR5 from our
DDR5 memory range.
✓ Buy it if you want an affordable Z890 ATX board with Wi-Fi 7, USB4 and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for a Core Ultra build.
✕ Skip it if you need HDMI on the rear, 5GbE or the strongest VRM for extreme overclocking.
→ Also consider the Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 PLUS for 5GbE and a stronger VRM, or the Z890 EAGLE PLUS without Wi-Fi.
