I want to upgrade my cpu but it seems that new cpus are a better deal. i know it is not offically supported but i know there are hacks to use a coffee lake cpu on a z270 or z170 board. does anyone know a made bios for my motherboard or how to make one.
 
Coffee Lake is used in conjunction with the 300-series chipset, and officially does not work with the 100- and 200-series chipset motherboards. Although desktop Coffee Lake processors use the same physical LGA 1151 socket as Skylake and Kaby Lake, the pinout is electrically incompatible with these older processors and motherboards.
