Intel Core Ultra 5 245K on the ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi
On the ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K runs at 7 % of the board's 2104 W sustained power capacity, which puts the VRM at an estimated 43 °C and leaves clocks untouched.

Power delivery
There is real headroom here. The ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi is rated for roughly 2104 W of continuous core power and the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K draws 155 W once a ten-minute render settles, so the power stages spend their time well inside their comfortable range. An estimated 43 °C is the kind of VRM temperature that never appears in a log, and the board will not be the reason a benchmark run finishes slower than it started.
Counting only the stages that feed the core rail — 18 of them at 110 A, teamed in pairs off a shared controller channel — and derating for large finned blocks with real thermal mass, the ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi holds roughly 2104 W indefinitely. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K asks for 155 W of that, and at boost it can reach 159 W.
Buy it on the rest of the specification rather than on power delivery, because at 7 % of capacity the VRM has stopped being the interesting variable. Count the M.2 slots you need, check the rear ports against what you actually plug in, and let the ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Gaming WiFi's 18 stages get on with it.
