How to run a Coffee Lake CPU (8700K/9700K/9900K) on Z170/Z270 Motherboard, 2020 Update

Roughly 2 years ago, I made my first material about running a Coffee Lake CPU, mainly the 8700K in a Z170/Z270 motherboard, and it got a lot of interest back then. Many people wondered why isn't it natively supported, and is the mod limited to Asrock motherboards only. It wasn't easy to setup the motherboard to run the newer CPUs in the early days. Modifying the motherboard BIOS to support and run the 6 and 8 core CPUs wasn't an easy thing to do. Many features were lacking with the early mods, like missing features such as Hyper-Threading, or limited overclocking support.
Later on, the whole process became dramatically easier, thanks to the tool published by the guys over at Win-Raid. An easy-to-use tool was released, that modifies the official BIOS of the motherboard you wish to use, with one simple click. There are important things you have to know before you use it though. The CPU model and revision has to be known exactly, like if your CPU is P0 or R0 Stepping 9900K that you are going to run on the modified motherboard. For example my earliest ES 8700K doesn't post with the BIOS I created, but a retail one does, even though they are the same stepping and revision.
The hard part of modifying the motherboard itself to get the system turned on still exists. You still have to short the two particular contact pads together under the CPU, or find the same modification on the motherboard itself. On this video, I show you how to locate the Socket Occupied pin (SKT_OCC pin) to force the motherboard to turn on when you press the power on button. Also with many motherboards, especially from ASUS, you can't just flash any BIOS file to the BIOS chip, so you have to make necessary modifications in order to force flash the file using the BIOS Flashback function.
So on this video I will be modifying an ASUS Maximus IX Formula to support a P0 stepping 9700K, which a local guy gave me, as he wants to use them in his daily system. I will do all the necessary modifications on the motherboard itself, modify the BIOS and see how the modified Maximus IX Formula compares against the top of the line Coffee Lake motherboard, the Z390 DARK from EVGA.

So it's true that noone needed NEW Motherboards since the release of the i7-6700K, but the INDUSTRY has forced us to buy NEW Motherboards every other CPU release. Thank you so much for sharing this video. 👍🙂👍

This is why I just went to AMD off my Z97 platform as soon as Ryzen got released, I have upgraded to a X570 board recently but that X370 board I bought a few years ago is still running and upgraded to a Ryzen 3000 chip in my younger sibling's PC

Great guide! btw: the reason the tool fails in the vbios step seems to be that the tool can't deal with whitespaces in the filepath to either one of the executables or the biosfile -> extract the newest version of the tool to a location which does not contain whitespaces (for example: "C:\coffeelaketool\") then the "Update GOP & VBIOS" step should work as well :)

[@scottman0830]

I hope you realize you saved me a bunch of money since I did not have to upgrade my motherboard. This worked perfectly for me. Except I have an Asrock motherboard so my flashing process was a bit different than yours so I had to figure that out. Thank you very much in your effort in this video. I was looking to upgrade my 6600k straight to a 9600k as it's at a pretty good price for performance right now so I bought one thinking the socket was all that mattered for compatibility. Little did I know it was not compatible with my motherboard even though it's LGA1151. After following this guide (except I did not feel comfortable soldering on my motherboard), I modded my bios and placed a piece of reflective metallic crafting tape to bridge the two pads on my CPU and it works! Thank you again dude. PS. You don't need the UEFI tool for Asrock MOBO, just mod the bios and rename the file (including the file type) to exactly what it was before it was modified downloaded from the Asrock website, then flash it normally, it worked for me.

[@MarshallSambell]

This method needs more exposure as it’s about to be the king of value for money eg buying dirt cheap PC’s with 6600k and 7600k in them, modifying the bios and putting a 9900k in, its great value for money cpu power wise

[@richh33]

Hey Luumi, great work. I'm looking at doing the same on another board (M8H) that has a different PCB layout around the BIOS Flashback chip - and there isn't a set of pads in the equivalent position - at least not on the top of the board. It looks from your close-up that one of the two pads that need to be connected to defeat the flashback security lock runs to pin number 36 on the IC. Is that correct? On my board, pin 36 vias to the underside - where it runs to a similar-looking pair of easily bridgable pads, the other of which is on a track that connects to pin 1 of the flashback chip. Does that sound like the ones to be connecting?

Yes it should be possible to mod that board too like all others.

[@thesupernad]

Hi Luumi. Do you know if it's possible to downgrade the microcode in a z270 motherboard to a skylake microcode from a z170 to enable non k overclocking? I imagine if it is possible I would lose kabylake support which is fine. I have an i5 6500 I'd like overclock on a gigabyte z270p-d3.

[@snaj9989]

Hi, I thinked about this alot. I was thinking It is such a hassle to do but then I saw Linus video about the 300 dolar cheap pc build with modified laptop CPU on h110 board and it seemed very reasonable. I talked with the seller on Aliexpress, he sells 6/12 QQLT ES progressor for 120 dolars and gives modified BIOS for any LGA1151 motherboard. I kinda wonder if my Gigabyte z170 hd3p's VRMs can handle an overclocked 6/12 progressor or is it worth doing the modification. Can you cover those CPUs in a video, it would be interesting to compare them with their desktop counterparts.

Ofc you can do it. There are already MULTIPLE videos on youtube which explains the process. I didn't see one for an MSI mobo yet, but it can be done for sure. Idk if your board has smth like "BIOS flashback" like we have on ROG boards, but search on youtube/google, you will definitely find something to help you through. Good luck :) Ps: the hardest part is still the CPU insulation / connection of the pins.. for me, I would rather try that even if it takes more time, because I cannot solder and don't have the tools.

Saludos, me podrías modificar una para mí MSI z370 gaming pro carbon (ms-7b45), es que tengo el i7 8700k, se me cayó de esquina y no funciona correctamente. compré el i7 9700k, pero el bios actual no es compatible. Me podrías ayudar?

Would it be possible to put the file in the cloud upload again? I can't download it from the site, broken link.
