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.
