Have I'm right understood that for b250 motherboard modding BIOS is not enought for i5-8500 and I have to mod cpu-pins as described here? Fixing PCI-Express for Coffee Lake CPUs on Sky/Kaby Lake non-Asrock(and some new Asrock) motherboards

Did anyone have any luck getting a four core coffee lake CPU like an i3-8100 to work on an ASRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac motherboard. I tried a modded bios however the computer would not stay on. The power light was on for about 1 second and then it went off. It still works with my Skylake cpu when I reinstalled it.

Hi, I passed via excel datasheets 1151-1 and 1151-2 and received such differences.

Yes @thewkong - you did! [OFFER] ASRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac BIOS Coffee Lake Mod (2)

cade link download MMTool v5.2.0.24 ?

Anyone here successfully modded a Gigabyte B150 Board or is it not worth to try?

It's (mmtool) on first page of a google search

I used this tool to clean the ME region of my current bios mod (image file) and then flashed the cleaned version by "resetting" ME first as earlier. Everything seems to work but now the ME fw version shown in UEFI setup utility is permanently 0.0.0.0. Does this mean that I can flash the ME region freely via the built-in Instant Flash from now on? Should I change the value of the variable (see #116) back to 0x00?

I noticed a lot of progress has been made but there are too many pages to this thread currently.
I have a Maximus VIII Formula z170, will I be able to boot and overclock a Core i7 8700k if I follow the steps to get it booting? Will the 16 PCI-e lanes work?

Power delivery on my board is similar to the IX which Asus confirmed could be compatible with Intel's support.

It would help if we could search within a thread by itself, instead of entire site only, maybe @Fernando can enable option from the ACP/Cpanel?

It gives good results, if you can find right thread. Too bad it can't be limited to single thread, thanks for letting us know.

I put "coffee lake cpus" inside quotes, along with asus and maximus outside quotes, in the search box. That gave results from this thread and another that included "coffee lake cpus" in the title. Maybe there are other threads, but not on the first page of results. Probably if you put the entire thread name in the quotes, it would give only that thread.
