Z270P with 8th Gen I7-8700

[Implicitlee]

Can the ASUS LGA 1151 PRIME Z270-P take the Intel I7-8700 coffee lake processor, I know this has probably been asked but I have ordered both and need a quick answer so I can hopefully cancel or return the motherboard

No. Not compatible.
300 series motherboard is required.
