Unfortunately, the motherboard does not support Intel 8th gen cpu. the chipset being 200 series (Q270) is not compatible with 8th gen. the top cpu is i7-7700(k).
you need a Intel 300 series chipset motherboard

See Intel official statement
PS the cpu socket is LGA1151 which is used by both 6th and 8th gen.
