overclocking Overclocking?

[CJtheRaichu]

So, I've come across a peculiar issue with my system. When I post into BIOS and go into my overclock settings and try to change a values, It doesn't change. Even if I only disable something like "AMD Cool n' Quiet" function, which normally needs to be disabled for overclocking (right?), it fails to boot 3 times and goes back to default settings. What's up with that? My system should be able to handle it as my PSU Is a RM750X 750w Corsair Full Modular (80+ Gold Cert with 10  yr manufacturer warranty) and handled the previous system and overclocking (AMD FX-8350 at a stable 4.4Ghz, and higher watt usage, even on stock settings at 4.0Ghz) than my current CPU. So, wouldn't it be able to handle overclocking on a CPU that has a lower watt usage compared to the 8350 stock? I have a Gigabyte Aorus B450 Pro WiFi (rev 1.0) on BIOS update F32 and everything I look at tells me that this board is overclockable (and I don't believe the BIOS update would be the factor as the descriptions never mention "better overclocking capabilities" or the like). The main reason I want to overclock is because I went the "Save some money, overclock for close to the same performance as the AMD Ryzen 7 2700x or a little higher for cheaper" approach seeing as I got the AMD Ryzen 2700 and I bought Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB 3200Mhz, 32Gb total RAM. It does have adequate cooling with a single 120mm AIO liquid cooler, and soon to be better with a new Full Tower Case with a 360mm AIO liquid cooler by Cooler Master (ML360R). But even with the 120mm Radiator, it should handle a clock speed of the 2700x, as my idle temps sit between 28-34c. Paired with a EVGA RTX 2060 Super SC Ultra Gaming graphics card and 4 extra case fans, not including the fan for the radiator. Any advice? Maybe its related to windows being weird? I mean, I have had windows UNDER CLOCK my old fx-8350 to 2.3Ghz while NOT running any programs so it may be possible in my opinion. Any advice would help, thanks in advance! P.S. I am very sorry for the long wall post, I just don't know where else to turn to on asking for something like this.

Edit: Boot drive is a 240Gb M.2 2280 SSD and the extra storage is a Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM with 256MB Cache, just in case those have anything to do with it

clear CMOS and try again, sometimes settings get stuck

Man I have removed the silver battery from the MOBO during 24hours and that worked for me...

Sadly, doing both of these did not help. Thanks for the suggestions though.
