I had a 13900K, it fried itself. I replaced it with the 13600k and it's been running more reliably and actually faster than my 13900k did. I believe they updated the microcode to fix their hardware bug and it only affected the 9-series with their high TDP.

All 13th and 14th gen i5 - i9 CPUs 65w and higher are affected by degradation if they are ran without updates. Once degradation starts, there is no undoing it even with the updates
Sadly, as an early purchaser of the 13900k before the updates, that left me with a dead CPU and no recourse from Intel. My 13600k has been running stable, albeit I don't have all the cores of the 13900k. I was very disappointed by intel on this one with their flagship CPU. I didn't know the i5s were affected, but I should be in the clear now.
I am new too so I cannot give a lot of details on how to do it but I know that you can for sure update the motherboard before installing the CPU

You should be covered. Have your proof of purchase and email Intel for a replacement.
Don't know how, I'm sure you can Google around to find out

Assuming that was done, could see them being unable to warranty claim it.
Edit: It appears overclocking can void warranty if it is deemed that caused damage to the CPU.
