It may be a bias based on my personal experience but I struggled for weeks trying to tweak a 13600k on a TUF B760.
Bad voltage stability and spikes. Insta-throttling and low benches performance, while B760 is capable to handle a 13600k on the paper.
The black friday gave me the opportunity to try a Z690 Unify.
Out of the box (no xpm) it performed better with 20°C less under load, total stability and lower auto-voltage (by default, no undervolted yet).
System:
- Corsair DDR5 6GHz xpm
- Samsung 980 pro 2TB
- Thermalright Phantom Spirirt SE
- iChillx3 4070
- a rusty huge old case with a DVD reader.
TL;DR You may need a good z690/z790 (no B760 or H770) for a 13600k even without overclock.

While technical components of the b760 could run 13600k well, its BIOS does not- comparing with z690 with BIOS is written for running K cpu in design. So BIOS features and writing for Z motherboards are always superior than B counterpart when running K cpu. That is why I do not bother upgrade my 12700 to newer and more powerful K cpus such as 13700k or 13900k because I am using B660 board.
