Visit a repair service or try a meal, then I’ll set up a fresh BIOS for you.

Yea, that's the risk with building Intel 13th with the previous 12th gen chipsets as it's highly likely you'll be getting older stock on pre-13th Gen supported BIOSes. You could go to a local computer shop that offers system builds to see if they can do the BIOS update for you with a 12th Gen chip they might have laying around. Be prepared to get charged maybe 20 bucks or so as a service fee if they won't do it for free (nothing against that, you're not entitled to free service). Either that or return the B660 board and get a B760 board instead. Doing a quick search and the prices honestly aren't that much different.

Sure, I'll make sure to return the motherboard and place an order for one, including a BIOS update. They appear to provide these only with new boards, so I'll confirm that.

Ensure you have the correct B760 board, not a B660.

Both options work together with the 13th gen right, as long as you use the correct bios.

The BIOS on any motherboard isn't certain. A store can't confirm it unless they open the case and test the board. You'll probably face a similar issue. B760 boards should generally function with 13th generation chips right away.
