I recently overclocked my 7700k - i cant even adjust the multiplier in my bois without my pc not letting me boot to windows.
Also when i do even the smallest overclock, 3 of my case fans stop spinning?? 3 fans that are connected to my MB ( ASUS z270h )
i have a 650W PSU
2 ram stick
2 ssd
2 HDD
and a 780ti
plus 8 case fans and a h100i AIO for cooling.
i dont understand what is going on? maybe my PSU does not have enough power to overclock?

The PSU have more than enough power

But intel has told people not to overclock the i7 7700k as there is practically no need too, if you were over clocking because of low fps the GPU you have is very old and not up to date with the cpu you have, I have no fix for this but some other people may have, I personally think you have messed up the CPU

My GPU is still doing great! i can play all games my games on ultra and it does not get super hot or run 100% - and the CPU is at this moment 100% fine - i can stress test it on stock for a long time, i can boot into windows and it will run boosted to 4,5 GHZ with ease.
The reason i want to overclock just a little bit is simpel: i have to right cooling to do so - and i play a game called arma 3 with uses SOO much CPU that it is way more CPU than GPU - and a 0,5 Ghz overclock can give 10-15 more frames.
