[Guide] CoffeeLake CPUs on Skylake and KabyLake mainboards

@svarmod
start for half a second = vcore supplied != instant shutdown because of short circuit. I will report about long time capabilities when that damn SPI finally arrives. :slight_smile:

Talking of: On Asrock Z270 Gaming K6 I do not manage to get past IME shutdown problem, even when with HDA mod. I tried both integrated flasher and afudos.


You can share the bios mod, I am also using the mainbroad Asrock H110 BTC pro, thanks !

Hi! Anyone modded ASROCK B250 Gaming K4 with i7-8700, i’ve try with CoffeeTime but failed!!

@vuquanict
Whats went wrong? Did you flash full modbios image? What about socket pins?



svarmod,

I have this board and was considering flashing it so thank you for uploading the BIOS. With this board can I flash this modded BIOS with the built-in flash tool or do I need to use another tool? Thank you.

@Datlore001
Gigabyte Q-flash has some updating restrictions, better use FPT or AFU. There are no any locks on Gigabyte so no problems with these tools.

@svarmod
I’ve flashed with FPTW64 -bios -f bios.bin
This is pin mod.
When insert CPU and power on, system turn off after one second.

@vuquanict
You flashed only bios region, you also need rewrite ME and FD to i7 starts. Look for info about unlocks in previous posts.

@Er236
Yes, it should work in general, but I recommend to remake mod with latest CoffeeTime version.


Thank you.I will try and post a result.

Thanks to you. I remake mod-bios by lastest coffeetime.
All data patched. I will buy 9900K, and report here later.

Hi everyone, i’m using mainboard Asus B250f gaming and Cpu G3930. I just wanna to use G5400 or I3 8100, but i read this thread is so hard to try. This way is for all mobo, isn’t it? I got the video how to mod bios on youtube for mobo asus h110, it look too easy. Could someone tell me what i need to run G5400, i3 8100 on my mobo asus b250f gaming? I really appreciate it!
This video i get on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdUSgtlwZZU

Rechecked with Gaming K6 and also tried FPT as afudos could not possibly work anyway. Main problem was the HDA mod though, I can not even dump UEFI. Probably the small contacts on ALC1220, though I left impressions in both of them. Has anyone yet suceeded unlocking descriptor on an ALC 1xxx board?

I tried an Asrock B150M Pro4S which much larger ALC 888 package next and succeeded after a couple of tries. Boot and loads up to 4 threads of Prime95 work fine, though the system freezes if I make real use of the 9900K. Don’t know whether this is due to UEFI problems or general capability of this board. (And don’t know either when/whether I will invest time into that issue.)

Hi to all!
I want to ask you how to MOD this bios for I3-8300 CPU. When I connect an integrated graphic card, HDMI slot, it doesn’t work (black screen at startup and reboot). Computer works only with ext graphic card (AMD Graphics).

Desktop board - ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Impact, Z170
M8I Bios

Start tool from attached file on your Asus B250 and write here what ME version reported.

@Koloboks

Thank svarmod for reply me. But i can’t find "VBios and BSF Package and MMTool.exe" for download? I will download Four software and try to mod bios. Could you help me to download it?

Edit//
Sorry for my question: I have been created mod bios from "Easy automated Mod tool’s Revlaay" ([TOOL] Easy automated Mod tool for Coffee Lake bios)
Every thing will be done. So could i use UBU to update this new bios to run coffeelake? And another question is i wanna run G5400 on my mobo Giga Z170x gaming 5, or asus B250f gaming, but revlaay say: this cpu must be isolate 2 pin, is it right? I’m newbie, it so hard to try modding software and more modding hardware :frowning:



hello bro, you bought i7 8700es from Vozstore. Or you’re the owner of that vozstore? Could you tell me what price you get i7 8700?

i bought from that store (5 củ :v)

@yeumanu
If you want to get advices, then maybe you should follow the recommendations?
Check your ME version on both boards with previously attached tool, it takes 1 min.


Sorry for my bad english, Svarmod. This is my ME version on my Giga Z170x gaming 5. It’s too new, isn’t it?
