ASUS PRIME Z890-P — minimalist aesthetics, correct wiring

PRIME Z890-P keeps the essentials: full Gen5 PEG, a CPU-Gen5 M.2 for OS/cache, and several Gen4 M.2 with sensible heatsinks. You trade away TB and some premium audio for price, but the electrical layout—the part that affects real performance—stays correct. If you’re funneling budget into GPU and NVMe, PRIME is a quiet enabler.
