Present your references regarding gaming performance – the risk isn't justified.
He tested the 6600K at stock settings against OC and it performed exceptionally well... The 6500 reached 3.6 GHz already.

Consider upgrading your GPU for noticeable gains
My games are CPU-dependent. I own a GTX 1060, which handles 1080p smoothly. However, many YouTube benchmarks demonstrate that an overclocked Skylake i5 6500 matches the performance of the 6600K in gaming. What concerns you about these claims, since all the creators showing overclocking have reported smooth operation?
Andrew Murdoch asks for advice on replacing CPU or motherboard if damaged, and inquires about potential risks of overclocking at a voltage below 1.35 volts.
^ don't worry if you understand what you're doing.
Intel pushed motherboard makers to eliminate overclocking features not because they're inherently risky, but since these settings hurt sales of K-series chips, which generate significantly higher profits for them.

no problem if you're confident in what you're doing. Intel has been pushing motherboard makers to take out overclocking features not because they're unsafe, but since it hurts their sales on K series chips, which generate a lot of revenue for them. That's why I'm reaching out here so I don't make any mistakes—my motherboard doesn't let me adjust the voltage. I was able to get my CPU up to 4.3 without issues, but I need to confirm my MVI is correct.
Then run a stress test with cpu-z & hwinfo onscreen , cross reference the core voltage under load , if you're below 1.36v & your cooling is adequate you really don't have much to worry about.
If you're dead set on doing it then the way would be changing the BCLK.
This would be set at 100.00mhz which is then multiplied to get your clock speed, obviously you cannot change the multiplier so increase the BCLK.
A ten percent bump there is a ten percent clock speed increase. I would set it 125 and see how stable/hot you are.
Make sure you have good case air flow, there will be extra stress (heat) on your VRMs.
Highly recommend you do some reading on OC guides. Here is an ASrock z170 specific one:
