The i5-6500 does not have an unlocked CPU multiplier. You'll have to use the base clock alone for minimal gain: http://overclocking.guide/updated-msi-z170-non-k-overclocking-guide-new-bios/

Im not the greatest overclocker but i do know eneough so you do not do damage to you chip and could get a good result. The first thing is why are you overclocking ? Is your chip not performing the way you want it to? That chip doesnt overclock unless you have certain motherboards that support overclocking non k cpu. If your looking for more performance i would consider a new chip kaby lack is coming out so your motherboard will support the new intel chips. Best of luck

Hiya.

if you checkout, eurogamer.net 6500 reviews, you will find a way to overclock the 6500 which puts it on a par with the 6600k involveing a bios upgrade, no ive not done this but the rest of your system will bottleneck the cpu.
Ram upgrade is an obvious way to get more speed out of your system 3200mhz seems to be the maximum before deminishing returns kicks in, but involves spending more money/selling old ram.
Vidio card is limited by ramsize, 2gig not enough for maximum throughput without cutting back on visuals, most modern games require 4gig or more to keep up.
Motherboards one of the bes, as is 6500 cpu....
Something to try which will cost you nothing.....engage ramcache which should have come with your M/board or look on asau site for it, make the cache around 4gig and see what happens to everything, an amasing little programme that builds a ram drive to the size you ask for then monitors what your doing and keeps the cache full of what you need next, games fly, no stutters no waiting for harddrive, approx 500% faster than an ssd, it also speeds up desktop stuff, helps if you have an ssd to feed it,
Two other things to try for free are doubling your ramsize (vidio and system) for free and upping core amount to double, four core becomes 8, look on utube for details, defo nulifies any warrenty but appears to work.
