Intel are scheduled to release this information on 21st August. There's some industry guesswork available on board compatibilities with "Coffee Lake" but I'd recommend you wait unitl next week and get accurate info which will start appearing on the Intel site from then.
from wikipedia Coffelake (gen 7)       LGA 1151 (Only compatible with 300-series motherboards)
So I'd not be surpised if it is NOT compatible with your MB, Does your bios support Gen7 cpu's?
