Hello, people,
I have an Asus Prime Z270-P and an i3-9100 (B0). Everything went very quickly and with full success. Thank you for this great software.

I have a Dell Optiplex 7060. It uses a 300 series intel chipset. I bought a i7 9700 non k cpu however Dell did not update the bios to run 9 series CPUs. I’m currently running an i5 8500. Will this mod work with 300 series boards?

I have a Gigabyte Ga-z270XP-SLI motherboard currently running a G3930 Processor. I am thinking about the I5-9600K processor for an upgrade. I see little discussion about Gigabyte motherboards and almost none about this board. Is this combination likely enough to work to justify buying the I5-9600K, or am I likely to end up with an unworkable combination?

GBT 100/200 series were less popular and in general GB requieres more pin reworking than other brands, so they are few people who could try and even fewer who are trying and I do not know of anyone working with Z270XP-SLI. However I also neither know anyone who ever failed when trying to mod GBT. (Though svarmod can tell a story of blown VRMs. But that was an attempt before it was known which pins need to be isolated on GBT.)

Upgraded my CPU microcode to C6 using UBU and now my 9900K runs at the overclocked speed without an AVX offset using my Maximus VIII Formula with bios 2202.

@thewkong
no.

Almost GIGA 200 series MB isolate two pin same as MSI.

For my GA-Z270XP-SLI, I have just acquired an I7-8700K used processor, so I am going gung ho on this project. The "isolate two pins" comment differs from a pic suggesting otherwise mentioned previously, see below, and wonder which is correct. This pic suggests a bunch of pins to isolate, and suggests no need for the 2 pins connected.

I just ran through the CoffeeLakeModTool process, and am wondering if it just supplies the new processor codes I specify, or if it adds them to what is already in the BIOS it starts with. It was OK with adding the codes for the 8700K, but when I tried to add the codes for the current processor, it flagged a space error.

I would appreciate opinions on either question. Many thanks.

note recomend mainboard use except gigabyte 100 series. guess that means my h170 is out, can it be modded at all?

EDIT: what about i3 8100T?

You can use some copper or aluminum foil with conductive adhesive to connect the 2 pins.

On my Ga-Z270XP-SLI, I used the F7 bios in the allinone tool, which seemed to work, but I could not figure out how to get it to replace CPU codes. I followed by using the UEFItool to replace two of the CPU codes with Coffee lake codes for my 8700K. The result worked fine for my G3930 processor, but will not boot with my 8700K in it. With 2 RAMs in, it flashes the CPU, the Mem LED over and over. With only 1 RAM, it goes through CPU, MEM, and then the VGA LED goes on for while, and the PC shuts down. Nothing of the BIOS ever shows on either the internal Video or a external Geforce 8800 video card, tested separately. Same results with either.

I ohmed out the CPU socket, which seemed to show no need for insulators, but I did them all with kapton tape just to be safe. Copper tape for the soc_occ.

Any suggestions or references for debugging this?

@SeattleBob
Sorry, there was a bug in 7Cpu-Patch, replace with this one.

Thanks for the update, I was very glad to see it this morning. I ran through the process again, and saw it did indeed put in the single cpuid I need to add. IT does seem to ask for the processor choice early and late in the process, and it is not clear how to tell it which to keep and which to add. Unfortunately, The end result this time did not run at all, even with the Celeron G3930 processor. The way the memory is affected, I suspect that there may be problems with the memory timing. It just flashed the cpu LED, held the mem LED shortly, and repeated that.

I have been burning the rom with a CH341A and the clip on the board, which seems to work fine. It does, however, replace the whole ROM it seems, as I had to go back and edit in the MAC address and re-program to get that right (on my earlier try). Could there be other parts/settings that are not getting through that process?

There is a GA-Z370XP-SLI board out. Are there parts of that I should be using?

I am beginning to feel more comfortable with this process, but still have a lot to learn to understand the various components and how/why to combine them.

The GA-Z270XP-SLI is working with the I7-8700K. I ran the latest stock BIOS (f9d) through the CoffeeLakeModTool, did the xSync process, edited the MAC address for my board,, and used the CH341A to write it into the BIOS. Reset Bios before powering up.

There does seem to be a problem with the VCORE being too high. It is set to 1.3V in the Bios but displayed there and in CPU-Z as 1.45V. I'm researching that now. the CoffeeLakeModTool is GREAT!.
