Hello everybody, i'm new on this forum.
I recently got gifted an Intel I7-8700K from relatives but also found out that it's not supported by the motherboard i currently own since it only supports 6th and 7th gen CPUs (see title).
Would it be possible to modify the BIOS in order to have the I7-8700K work on my Mobo?
I'm looking for suggestions to do it or not since i'm sort of new in these kind of arguments.
Thanks in advance

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
