So that section is accurate enough. It's interesting how many people I meet who have the most unusual cooling setups on top-of-the-line systems you could picture. Therefore, I always need to ask.
Consider exploring the online OC guides and give them a try. I've included some links here: The Coffee Lake Overclocking Guide Our official Coffee Lake OC guide! www.tweaktown.com For ASUS Maximus X https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.ph...-Maximus-X And for Gigabyte https://forum.gigabyte.us/thread/3777/87...king-guide
So, this section is accurate enough. It's not meant to offend, but it's interesting how many individuals I meet with the most unusual cooling setups on top-of-the-line systems you could imagine. Therefore, I always try to inquire.
If you plan to boost your CPU's performance, it turns out you're actually short on adequate cooling for such a setup. Adding another exhaust fan at the rear and another intake at the front would help, but even with the right placement, just two fans aren't sufficient to ensure proper airflow inside the case—let alone supply enough air to the cooler for optimal operation.
Of course, this isn't directly related to your current issue, but it's still a relevant point.
For your specific concern, I suggest dedicating some time to thoroughly review the guides Cin19 provided, starting with resetting the BIOS to its default settings by following these steps:
BIOS Hard Reset procedure
Power down the device, switch off the power supply, and detach the PSU cable from either the wall outlet or the power source.
Take out the motherboard's CMOS battery for five minutes. In certain cases, you might need to remove the graphics card to access it.
While waiting, press the power button on the case for 30 seconds. Once the five minutes are complete, reinstall the CMOS battery, making sure to place it correctly.
If you had to remove the graphics card, you can reinstall it afterward, but be sure to reconnect any power cables or display cables that were attached.
Reattach the power supply cable, turn the PSU back on, and power on the system. It should show the POST screen with options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the BIOS setup program and adjust the boot settings for Windows Boot Manager or legacy systems (adjust the drive where your OS is installed if needed).
Save your changes and exit. If the system successfully POSTs, you can proceed further—this includes returning to the BIOS and configuring additional custom settings such as Memory XMP, A-XMP, D.O.C.P profiles, fan profiles, or other specific configurations that may have been lost during the reset.
In some instances, after resetting the CMOS, it might be necessary to load the default or optimal values in BIOS to properly reset the hardware tables within the boot manager.
It's also worth noting that if your issue stems from a video signal problem, attempting a hard reset could be beneficial. Trying an alternative display—such as HDMI—can help, especially if you're experiencing no visual output or inability to enter BIOS. This is particularly useful for systems where displayport configurations cause problems.
Additionally, pay close attention to the guide at

as it's tailored for your hardware.
For foundational knowledge, reviewing my beginner-friendly overclocking guide should also be helpful. Once you have a solid understanding of these concepts, you can gradually start increasing your CPU speed in a controlled manner. Attempting to jump directly to high speeds without proper preparation often leads to subpar or even failed results.
This approach ensures better outcomes and avoids unnecessary complications.
