    Most people won’t OC that cpu anyways, since it’s already going to run at 95c on most AIO coolers. I have no idea how the vrm on that is. Could be fine. The k CPUs clock higher than the non k. There is still a reason to get them since they aren’t power restricted. I don’t know if undervolting or other features work on b760. If they do, I’d just stick to that.

    Bad idea. You should not pair an i7/i9 K series CPU on a B760 board. The reason is a feature called Current Excursion Protection (CEP). CEP will apply additional voltage to your CPU and thus it will draw much more power and run much hotter - even to the point of thermal throttling. On B series boards, CEP cannot be turned off, while Z series boards will allow you to turn it off.
