hey i've got a i3 8100 still in the box and im wanna put it in my msi z170 krait 3x motherboard which currently has a pentium g4560. I know theres no official bios by msi that would let me do that, does anyone know what tweaks i need to make to this msi mobo that this guy did here: https://community.hwbot.org/topic/175489-asrock-z170-mocf-lives-on-coffee-lake-mods/

I know you have to connect two pads as shown in the picture, I need help with the BIOS as most people who've done it, did it on an ASROCK H110 mobo. I aware of the risk of bricking hardware and won't hold you responsible for it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

You also have to mod the BIOS to change power delivery. Thought it was available on some open source sites tho, what does Google give you

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
