I got an i7 6700 and a z370-a pro mobo, both LGA 1511. After setup it powers on briefly, then shuts off again. Fans spin once, and the power supply is a Corsair 850x. Got any suggestions?

Google told me the mobile is compatible only with the 8th generation CPU, even though both models use LGA 1511 connectors.

This motherboard isn't compatible with the 6700 CPU. Only certain generations are supported. It continues to use the 1511 LGA socket due to its 14nm+ refresh from the Skylake 6700, even though Intel has discontinued support. Despite some users managing to run the 6700k on the Z370 series via BIOS modifications, official backing has been removed.

I thought it might be correct because they're both LGA 1511. Hope that's right.

Modifying bios involves changing system settings or adding custom data to the BIOS/UEFI firmware. It typically requires technical knowledge and tools like a computer with the appropriate drivers.

For that CPU you need Z270 or Z270. BOIS modding unless you're close to those places in China making boards from salvaged chipsets. Consider selling your motherboard and buying a new one.

There might be a couple of compromised Chinese boards capable of handling overlapping CPUs, but this won't occur with your current configuration.

He managed to adjust the BIOS, yet encountered an unsupported CPU during execution.
