Please note that the 7700K processor won't be stable at 1.32v with a 4.2ghz clock speed.
in 2018 i purchased my 7700K, the seller overlooked removing the plastic coating from the top of my water cooler...
AFTER A YEAR I REALIZED THE PROBLEM
i couldn't start my computer in auto voltage mode
then i adjusted the voltage to 1.38v to enable 4.5ghz but it wasn't very reliable (the temp was near 80c)
eventually i took off that plastic layer, and my CPU showed signs of wear
what should i do? i don’t want to waste another 300 dollars on a new CPU...
now i run my 7700k at 4.2Ghz in 1.32v (still not very stable), any other options to make it work better?

Copper baseplate
Pre-discovery temperatures were around 1.32v
Are you talking about the copper baseplate that connects with the CPU IHS?
-Yes, precisely. I should verify my PC soon since I receive them; years of CPU lifespan have been reduced.
(Removing my water cooler took a lot of time... sorry, man)
