Having to stress test your computer to get it to run at 4.5GHz is going to kill your computer so much faster.
Are you sure you explained it correctly to them? Because as I see your post it seems they think you might want to overclock your computer (which will not kill your computer and your processor is made for it since you have a K version of the 7700) Explain to them that your processor SHOULD be running on 4.5GHz when turbo boosting and using high performance or 4.2GHz when not turboboosting. NOT at 800MHz.
So on high performance, it should be at 4.2 at all times?
