Try clearing the CMOS. If that doesn't work I would contact the manufacturer.

Well I hooked up water cooler.
Turned on.
Constant non stop fast beep.....?
I'm running out of ideas.
I will clear the cmos sometime tonight and try again.
(****** trying to keep an eye on our infant and toddler.......... )
The mobo. is getting power right?
The LED light in the water pump turns on.
The 3 pin fan from water pump is connected to the 4 pin CPU FAN header
And the 2 3 pin fans on the rad. are connected to the sys fan 1 ( 4 pin ) and sys fan 2 ( 4 pin ) on the mobo.
The fans light up and spin.
I did pull out the CPU. All pins look straight.
Replaced with 0 insertion.

I was looking trough some old notes, try disconnecting the key board. I had a note on the same continuous beep quite awhile back and it turned out to be the key board. Note the key board worked on another machine with no issue.

No keyboard connected.
Tried with mouse connected and not connected.

I still worry about the chip! A couple of years back I was dong a bench build, for some reason I had my finger on the processor when I hit the button. The cooler did not have the cooler on it, it took a few seconds to burn my finger. I yanked he power cord out but the chip did die in the process.

Wasnt it obvious the chip was burnt on the under side?
I timed my self with iphone timer.
Never on for more then 10 secs.

This may be a dumb question, but.....when you installed the liquid cooler/heatsink, did you use thermal grease on the CPU before latching down the heatsink?
Help Requests: If there is no reply after 3 days I remove the thread from my answer list. For further help PM me.

Here's a list of beep codes for your board
https://ddr4motherboard.com/beepcodes/GIGABYTE-GA-F2A68HM-H-REV.-1.0
You'll need to count the number and length of time (long or short beeps) of those beeps to determine the issue
11 short beeps is cpu fail
I think it takes less than 1/2 second to kill a cpu without a heatsink
If your lucky, maybe AMD will feel sorry for you and allow an RMA

I know it will blister you finger quicker then you can pull it away!

Interesting old video showing the difference between processors without thermal protection (Socket A Athlons) compared to ones with (Pentium III/4), if you remove the heat sink. Look how quickly they go up in smoke
I suspect most recent ones from AMD should have over temperature protection, but I'm not totally sure... I know for sure Intel ones will thermally throttle before they destroy themselves. I still think you would be crazy to put it to the test, unless you deliberately wanted to destroy your hardware.
