Just stay below 1.38V if you manually overclock your 2nd gen ryzen cpu on all cores and do not want it to degrade over time. 1.425v is not safe for 24/7 even with windows balanced power plan and your voltage going down while idling, under load this is way too high for 2nd gen ryzen. Not telling you what to do ofc it's your own decision. Depending on how long you used that voltage your cpu might already been degraded since you're complaining about "a bad cpu" as you can see in the reddit thread I linked it can happen after 3 months already at 1.425V.
I have since August 2018 with this OC and this Chip, so I really don't see any degrading on the chip, the issue is only the voltage I can't use the Offset mode to have this chip stable, or do anything under the 1.425v, that's the stable set of this chip, thats why I said its not a winner of the silicon lottery, because I dream of this chip do all the work with 1,3750v at 4200mhz but... No, this chip demands 1,4250v to be stable, as I said since August 2018 at this day same OC without any truble even with the BIOS 4602, the only thing change with this last Bios was the Ai Tweaker\Digi+VRM values, because this last Bios was something picky with the Line calibration under 120% and 350 of Frequency are unstable the Cinebench crashes but fixed and playing with the numbers I see the chip was stable and doing the same work and the same performance on this Bios...
