Hello,
I recently put in a Cooler master water cooler and everything is functioning properly, temperatures are excellent, and performance is decent. However, I’m not able to overclock my CPU at all—not even slightly. Before installing the cooler, I could overclock successfully, but now it doesn’t work. Whenever I attempt to do so, the motherboard starts flashing a white light and won’t power on unless I remove the CMOS battery or short the motherboard.

Details:
I5 8600K 3.6GHZ
GTX 1080
16 GB DDR4 RAM
MSI A370-A PRO Mobo
EVGA 750 WATT Powersupply.
Could you assist?

Consider resetting the BIOS by briefly removing the CMOS battery while the system is powered off. Restart, enter BIOS, reset default configurations, save changes, exit, restart again, return to BIOS, and check if modifications become possible. If issues persist, identify the specific error codes displayed on the motherboard.
