Is the koolance system beeping or the computer?
If it's the computer, you can generally play with the thermal threshold alarms in the bios advanced settings....
I've got no experience with the all in one water cooling, but water cooled my system...

Uhh is that celcius? Because if it is, you want it to shut down at that temp, and actually 90 celcius is the highest I'm comfortable with my proc getting, even during IBT.

There should be settings in the BIOS for your shutdown temp. If it's also dictated by your WC system through some sort of app, then you'll have to get back into it and change its settings.

General rule about WC systems is that if you want your computer to run for a while, build your own kit. Those pre-fabbed kits are usually garbage and even if they do work for a while, some sort of catastrophic failure is right around the corner.

Have you been flushing it regularly and replacing the fluid with a proper mix?
