Hi @mobilenvidia,

There's some tasty Lenovo M800's I could get for a decent price. It has the q150 chipset and I think there are not any newer lenovo pc's that are using the q250 chipset. Do you think it is possible to mod that thing for coffee lake?

M800 SFF or tower ?
It should work on those as BIOS looks same as M700/900
BUT use a EPROM flasher so you can try and go back if things go wrong
DON'T use SW flasher as there's a chance you'll need to buy an EPROM programmer incase that goes wrong

So what I did should work for you too, but I can't guarantee that

Thanks for your reply,

SFF, and thanks for the tip, I wanted to use a hardware flasher, but somehow they never seem to arrive from China (I ordered the 3rd one 2 weeks ago...)

I'm happy to buy one and experiment.

Things coming from China aren't too bad in NZ, no longer than it used to take
Grab latest BIOS, there is a newer one than what I worked on flash that to your machine the go through process
