[Request] KabyLake compat. Asus Maximus X Formula BIOS

BIOS/UEFI Modding BIOS Modding Requests
1

Hello,
I have an ASUS Maximus X Formula motherboard (Z370 chipset) and I want to run an Intel i7-7700K CPU (Kaby Lake) on it. I understand this motherboard officially supports only 8th and 9th Gen Coffee Lake CPUs, but I’ve heard it’s possible with a modded BIOS that adds Kaby Lake microcode.

I’m looking for a ready-made modded BIOS file specifically for Maximus X Formula that enables i7-7700K support, or detailed instructions on how to patch the BIOS safely.

My board supports USB BIOS Flashback, so I can safely flash BIOS even without a compatible CPU installed.

Any help, links, or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
