NZXT, a leader in PC gaming components, gear, and prebuilt gaming systems, is thrilled to announce the launch of the N9 Z890 and the N7 Z890 Intel ATX motherboards. Offering two new motherboards that are optimized to support the latest Intel Core Ultra desktop processors, each providing a robust feature set suited to give gamers the performance they desire while also sleekly fitting into any PC build.
The N9 Z890 is designed for enthusiast PC gamers looking to build a high-end Intel -based gaming PC and push its performance to the limit. It enables gamers to unlock their peak performance by providing the thermal headroom and tools needed to reliably achieve higher overclocks for the new Intel Core Ultra desktop processors and memory. Meanwhile, the N7 Z890 refreshes NZXT's existing N7 lineup with a well-balanced ATX motherboard, offering the power and stability required to run any Intel Core Ultra desktop processor, making it an ideal choice for most PC gamers.
Both motherboards support the latest high-speed connectivity standards, including PCIe 5.0, Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.4 and Bluetooth 5.3 for the N7 Z890, and Wi-Fi 7 for the N9 Z890 and Wi-Fi 6E for the N7 Z890, enabling gamers to take full advantage of their cutting-edge speeds and robust networking capabilities for a seamless and immersive gaming experience. Their newly designed metal covers, combined with newly integrated RGB lighting on the N9 Z890, provide a fresh new look to the iconic NZXT motherboard cover, allowing gamers to easily personalize their setup and achieve a cohesive aesthetic, especially when paired with an NZXT case.
"We've been thrilled by the impact our motherboards have had within the community, which inspired us to revamp our line for Intel's latest chipset, allowing us to continue pushing the boundaries of motherboard design and functionality." says Johnny Hou, Founder and CEO of NZXT. "By focusing on performance and introducing fresh new looks, we've created two motherboards that are ideal for gamers looking to build PCs that fully leverage the power of the latest Intel Core Ultra CPUs."
"Built for gamers and creators, the new Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors deliver phenomenal performance for the most demanding workloads and ground-breaking power efficiency, for cooler and quieter systems," says Roger Chandler, Intel vice president and general manager, Enthusiast PC and Workstation Solutions, Client Computing Group. "NZXT's freshly redesigned N7 Z890 and N9 Z890 motherboards unlock the full potential of our Intel Core Ultra desktop processors. Utilizing the iconic design NZXT's motherboards, PC builders can create a system capable of reliably conquering anything from intense gaming sessions to demanding multitasking workloads."
