It’s not a perfect solution but at least it’s a solution if you like to run e.g.

ASUS H110M-A/M.2 Confirmed (PCIe issue) (forums).MSI Z170/i3 8100 – Confirmed, see YouTube video above.Gigabyte H110/i3 8100 – Confirmed (forums).In order to update the microcode check this post. The entire process with pictures can be found here. The entire folder with all tools can be found here. You can insert and override it, these two files will basically allow the Coffee-Lake microcode to be inserted semi-automatically during the patch process. In the folder UBU / modules / mCode replace the file “sel1151.bat” with this one here.Leave a copy of the BIOS to be changed in the UBU folder.Check that the MMTool.exe is correctly named and insert it in the UBU folder, don’t rename MMTool.exe!.Copy the VBIOS_and_BSF / SKLKBL folder into the UBU folder.Install Intel BMP on your PC, it will be used to prepare the updated vBIOS.

Unpack the UEFI BIOS Updater (UBU) folder this will be your main working folder!.

AMI Aptio V UEFI MMTool v5.0.0.7 or higher ( source).

Intel Binary Modification Program (BMP) v2.6.7 ( source).

UEFI BIOS Updater (UBU) in version 1.69.11 or higher ( source).

There some requirements and the win-raid forum doesn’t allow you to get the listed programs, so I provide a mirror on my own.

Ensure you choose the correct Intel ME firmware afterwards, otherwise, some components are possible wrongly detected or some hardware components might misbehave.

In case you want to do this procedure on Asus boards, read this.

A possible fix for Asus boards can be found here.

Asrock Boards were modded successfully and nobody knows how to do this on non-Asrock boards simply because PCIe goes missing after the modification.

Other CPU’s are known to be ‘ problematic‘.

Quad Core Coffee Lakes are confirmed to work for sure.

No one is responsible if something happened except you!.

The entire procedure does come with some risks to brick the hardware or to do permanent damage to it, so be warned, of course in such a case I not need to mention that you lose your warranty and if someone is to blame, then it’s you cause you take the risk and the decision.

It should be mentioned that the guide is based on the previous community work and their findings. The user elisw from the win-raid forum was so kind to provide the most advanced guide I found on the internet in order to get your CL CPU running on ‘old’ Kaby-Lake chipsets. Intel officially says that you can’t run Coffee-Lake CPUs on Kaby-Lake systems because the voltages are increased, which is not incorrect but you still can manage with – some risks – to get the new CPU running on the older 100/200 chipsets.
