The short version

The Z890 Eagle WiFi7 is Gigabyte's entry Z890 ATX board, with a 14+1+2 digital VRM using 60A stages, four DDR5 slots, four M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0), Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE and a rear USB4 Type-C port. It suits non-extreme Core Ultra builds on a budget; the power delivery is modest for Core Ultra 9 overclocking.

Pros

  • USB4 Type-C port with DisplayPort output
  • Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.4
  • One PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot
  • Q-Flash Plus BIOS button

Cons

  • 60A power stages are the lightest of the Z890 tier
  • Only one DisplayPort output and no HDMI on the rear
  • Two chipset slots only run at x4

Best for

  • Mainstream Core Ultra builds
  • Budget-minded Z890 buyers
