Upgrading to an AMD A10-5800K is possible on an MSI-7778 board. Your CoolerMaster CM12V should work fine if you proceed. You can also test the BIOS on the A8-5500 motherboard as a backup solution.

The motherboard seems to be a specific HP model, which fits with the cooler you have since HP often uses these budget-friendly Cooler Master parts. Overall, I’d avoid pushing it beyond its limits—most OEMs restrict BIOS settings to prevent overclocking. Plus, I wouldn’t rely on any serious overclock given those VRMs on OEM boards. You can look in the BIOS, but I doubt you’ll find any overclock options.
