#1 | Dell Vostro 3668 mod BIOS to support Coffee Lake i3-8100 or i3-9100(f) datum

Hello. I try to modify a BIOS of Dell Vostro 3668 (Intel H110 chipset) to support Coffe Lake CPU only I3-8100 or I3-9100(f) will be enough.
This is a dump by FPT ( with Service Mode Jumper) of bios 1.14 ver. (latest BIOS from Dell official site) https://yadi.sk/d/CJOcmOH9pC8fOw
and this is modBios I have made myself https://yadi.sk/d/789DbIEw2Ao2qw, but I am not sure that it is right made.
I would like to get advise if I can use my mod or I need to alter it somehow. Thank in advance

In addition.
My doubts are that UEFI tool parser shows the next strings in the mod Bios

checkProtectedRanges: BG-protected ranges hash mismatch, opened image may refuse to boot
checkProtectedRanges: AMI protected range [7E0000h:AE2200h] hash mismatch, opened image may refuse to boot

Is there something wrong or OK?

MEinfo. Boot Guard enabled. Does it mean that I3-8100 cannot be used?
