The title says all for itself... I couldn´t find a direct comparison between them.
(In my country there´s a $54 difference between them).

Thanks in advance,
DMG.

If I’m not mistaken the i5 6400 has a multiplier of 27 and the i5 6500 of 32, assuming you would be using the same motherboard with any of the CPUs and that the limiting factor in your overclock would be the motherboard and not the processor itself (that would require good cooling) then you would reach a maximum bus overclock with any of the 2 processors that would be defined by the difference of the multipliers.
Since 32 is 18% higher than 27 then you would reach a overclock 18% higher with the i5 6500 than with the i5 6400, that is assuming that the limiting factor is the motherboard that not necessarily is the case, but is still a good base of comparison.

I know, but what I want't to know is how higher clock can I get with the 6500 over the 6400 (both OC)

As @dudeman509 said, your options to OC either chip are going to be limited based on the motherboard & BIOS version you have, because neither CPU is "unlocked".

So, if you can use the BLCK method to OC, then you probably can OC them both about the same. If you can't OC them, then the 6500 will be slightly faster because its stock speeds are higher.
