  1. As you could see already  coffe lake cpu 's can run on the Asus Maximus IX Apex motherboard. 

     

    Full steps required for making this happen : 

     

    #1 Hardware mod

     

     

    Do the following modifications :

    Short the following pads in order to flash the bios file :

    Solder the following points:

    #2 Bios flash

     

    Download bios file from here:

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YbY993uzGtFBy3y-IBPtT_bLtYnF4H3T

     

    EDIT 16/10/2018

     

    BIOS 0094 Added support for future processors

    Rename it as creative.rom , copy it on a fat32 formatted drive  and flash it using USB Flashback method.

     

    NOTE!

     

    Do the bios flash after hardware mods are done  !!! Soldering cpu pads is not needed  . 

     

    Known issue is that HT does not work currently on 6c cpu's hence it is disabled by default. After everything is set-up board will work with cofee lake based cpu's as well as with older cpu's without issue.

     

    Have fun !
