So this is what I found while overclocking a 2700X to 4.2GHz/3600MHz on an ASUS ROG Strix B450-I Gaming motherboard. Worth mentioning is that I was not having any stability problems with the board, the temperature just did not look right so after checking my cooling loop, I thought I needed to check the TIM footprint. Well, there's your problem.
Worth mentioning is that I keep a series of different water blocks on pigtail leads with Koolance quick disconnect fittings so I can move whatever platform to either of the cooling systems I use here to test with. When I disconnect a block from the system, I put painters tape over the coldplate so it does not get scratched up while not attached to a system.
