Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

13600k: from asus B760 to msi Z690 (alien.top)

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.
