The Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite Wifi7 Plus is a solid, budget-conscious gateway into Intel’s latest platform. You get blazing-fast networking, native Arrow Lake refresh support, and ample storage options. But a single Type-C port and a last-gen audio codec keep it from being the hands-down option compared to its peers.

Pros

+5 GbE and Wi-Fi 7 (320 MHz)

+Power/reset buttons on rear IO

+Ultra Turbo modes
