By rival stimulation, Intel 2017 has finally ended the history of 'squeeze toothpaste' for many years. All product lines are speeding up completely, but playing incompatible.
Eight generations of Core Duo desktop Coffee Lake-S increased the number of cores across the board, and keep the interface unchanged in the LGA1151 circumstances, Intel changes in electrical characteristics lead to incompatibility due to force the new processor must be matched with almost unchanged 300 Series Chipset, and starting only expensive Z370, will be a good 100/200 series motherboard behind.
But Asustect could not help but disclose that the eighth generation of the original Core is compatible with the 100/200 system motherboard, but the last minute Intel changed his mind.
More is that there are a number of domestic players proved through experiments, eight generations of core can really lit on the old motherboard, but only in a very small number of models to achieve stability is not good.
Now, from the foreign hardware Forum Overclock.net several god-level players rootuser123, LittleHill, dsanke, elisw, Mov AX, 0xDEAD Finally opened the mystery, both to find out the root cause of incompatible Intel shielding deliberately, but also developed a crack patch, in theory, any 100/200 series motherboards can be on the eight generations of Core!
After research, Intel is using the software to shield the eight generations of Core Duo on the old motherboard, involving processor microcode, Kernel UEFI GOP driver, ME management engine specific framework, etc., deliberately motherboard BIOS do not know the new processor.
After putting a variety of patches, Intel set the obstacles finally been completely broken.
After repeated testing, Core i3-8100 has been in the H110, B150, Q170, Z170, B250, Z270 and other motherboards run perfectly, no problem in daily operation, you can successfully through a variety of software testing and testing, and regardless of core graphics or Independent graphics are accessible.
Although not used for the other eight generations of Core models for more in-depth testing, but because the problem is completely on the motherboard side, the motherboard has been cracked across the board, the processor is completely not a thing!
Great God they have released a complete crack patch and detailed crack guide, interested can see.
