I just got a noctua cooler and the mobo/cpu a couple of weeks ago. Ik that my mobo is not the most high end so I'm wondering how far I can OC a 7700k without exploding the Vrms. Ik there is an 'ez mode' for OC in the bios but I have had 0 experience In overclocking

Never ever use this it always puts more voltage than is needed.
The Pro 4 boards are your basic cheap boards with poor power delivery.
Their really no answer to your question because all processors will react a bit different and not all will overclock the same.
With that board I would try to keep the Vcore voltage at 1.3 or lower for long term use how far you can overclock on that voltage depends on how good of a chip you got.
