Coffee Lake needs a new motherboard
 

ASRock confirms it

ASRock tweeted from its official account that Intel's forthcoming Coffee Lake processors will not work with existing 200-series motherboards.

Toms Hardware has confirmed that the tweet was true and it wasn’t just a Donald Trump-like exec on the Twitter account.

This means that if you want Intel’s Coffee Lake you will have to shell out for a new Motherboard too and probably a new cooler.

Intel's forthcoming Coffee Lake processors are built on the 14nm++ process and this will be the third revision of Intel's 14nm process technology. It will allow more cores to bear and six-core mainstream models.
