Seeing overclocking seems pointless, if we purchased a K series Alder Lake chip and paired it up with a respectable B-series board, other than CPU overclocking are there any other disadvantages?

It varies with every intel generation, but without a Z series board you do end up crippled in various waysSeeing overclocking seems pointless, if we purchased a K series Alder Lake chip and paired it up with a respectable B-series board, other than CPU overclocking are there any other disadvantages?

I'm not familiar with 12th gen boost, just make sure he doesnt get too high hopes there.appreciate everyones input.
Mussels I really appreciate the thorough comparison and link ups. I like this type of easily comprehensible stuff.
I should have mentioned earlier. The idea was to grab a 12400F for a mate paired with a £130 (ish) mini-ITX board (ASRock B660M-ITX/ac). Hes already got a RTX 2070 super. Purpose of use: 1080P GAMING ONLY. I asked him about additional connectivity/storage/etc... hes got a 500GB + 2TB SSD (both SATA) and hes not looking to expand. A pretty basic setup.
Now we're looking at the 12600K, if it runs at its rated boost clock he'll push past his budget to land one as long as there's no compromise which might go overlooked. Judging by the Z/B-series comparison charts am I correct to assume it's all good?. Z-series mini-ITX boards get pricier hence out of his comfort zone to spend more on that side.

If the board has airflow I think 90 watts would be fine for the VRMs when gaming, but I'm not sure how meaty the VRMs on that board are, hopefully better than the board HUB panned. He could turn off turbo temporarily (the 12600K's base clock is decent, it is 300 Mhz slower than the 12400F's all-core boost) or cap the power limits lower (if the board permits it), when playing the most demanding games.
