ASUS ProArt Z890-Creator WiFi Schematic
In terms of external connectivity, this board is well equipped with one Thunderbolt 4 and two Thunderbolt 5 connectors, which are Type C and can be used as USB ports as well, plus six more USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. For networking, a pair of 2.5 and 10Gbps LAN ports are available - as well as WiFi 7 and Bluetooth. Because this motherboard supports Thunderbolt, it includes a DisplayPort input on the I/O panel which allows pass-through from the video card to a TB-connected monitor. It also has an HDMI output for use with the Intel Xe-LPG graphics built into the CPU.
Internally this motherboard has four DDR5 memory slots, supporting up to 192GB of RAM. For storage, there are four SATA III ports plus five M.2 slots - one of which shares lanes with one of the PCI-Express slots. Speaking of PCI Express, there are three expansion slots available to handle a variety of expansion card configurations: two PCIe 5.0 slots (operating as one x16 or two x8 slots) and one PCIe 4.0 (only x4 mode).
