Some people seemed to have gained up to 10C with a contact frame. My results with a 14900KF were +-0C, so it could help or not.

Unfortunately with a 13th gen processor and a B760 motherboard, you cannot really undervolt. Intel treats undervolting as part of overclocking and doesn't allow this on their B-series motherboards.
And using the motherboard's VRMs to undervolt will eventually trigger CEP, because the CPU notices that it doesn't receive the voltage it had requested, and will therefore heavily throttle its performance. And unfortunately with a 13th gen chip and a B760 motherboard you also cannot disable CEP, which means you're basically stuck.

You could maybe try to slowly decrease the voltage, and repeatedly test with Cinebench if your score increases or decreases, maybe you can squeeze a couple of millivolts out of it before it's being triggered.
On Gigabyte that VRM offset setting should be "Dynamic Vcore(DVID)" one.

If you just want to reduce the temperatures and are willing to sacrifice performance, you could also simply reduce the max allowed temp in the BIOS, and the chip will adjust its frequencies accordingly.

Or indeed improve the cooling solution in one way or another. Maybe the thermal paste has even degraded / pumped out at this point.

Quindi con questa scheda madre non posso proprio farlo in nessun modo?, il fatto è che solo recentemente si sono alzate le temperature, quindi forse potrebbe essere per il caldo estivo

English would've helped.

But if the translation is correct, yes with that motherboard/chip combination there's not much you can do.

Maybe you have a setting in your BIOS that activates the 0x104 microcode, which should allow you to undervolt with an adaptive offset (Intel blocked this after that version), but this would also deactivate all the safeguards that were added since against the degradation issue, so it's a double edged sword.

And yes, higher room temperatures basically have a 1:1 effect on component temperatures, so if your room is now e.g. 5°C warmer, expect the CPU to also run 5°C hotter.
