Nope,

Only Z370 mobos currently supports Intel's 8th gen.

Z170 supports 7th Generation by Bios update
What do you think about another bios update that support 8th Generation
I Found Some pictures that show 8th Generation cpus on Z170 motherboards

There's no such a thing to update BIOS for 8th gen.

Probably fake.

Intel made the 8th gen CPU's pins a bit different just for them not to be used on older MOBOs like the Kaby and Skylake were...

Sorry friend, not going to happen.

Some modders were sort of able to get an 8th generation CPU to work on a Z170 board, but it's doubtful they're going to be able to get it fully working. I'm not sure if it was just a BIOS mod or if they had to do some modifications to the board or socket. If they had to do the latter, then it's probably not something most users are going to be able to do if they ever did get it fully working.
