| JEMC said: We’ve seen it in the past though, a BIOS update all of the sudden might enable other processors. The board-partners are very tight-lipped about this, understandably. Earlier this week you have already seen our Dutch colleagues from HWI try out a 7th gen Celeron G3930 Kaby Lake based processor on Z370. That processor got in the BIOS post code up-to code 26 when it halted. Post code 26 is the graphics pass, all passes before that would have been valid including memory and CPU. |
I have no idea why Intel places such limits on it's chipsets. It limits people with older systems from buying a brand spanking new CPU, which equates to monies.
They can't maintain these shenanigans when AMD is finally a viable alternative now.
