Hey! Here are the steps you should take to overclock your CPU. Just follow along like a curious monkey!

In the bios, keep everything on auto.
Increase the multiplier for all cores from the standard 35 to a higher value.
Perform a stress test using an app such as OCCT until temperatures settle. OCCT will terminate the test if it reaches 85c.
Track your vcore with cpu-z; avoid exceeding 1.4v.
It’s probable you’ll exhaust vcore before hitting thermal limits.
Once completed, apply adaptive voltage and speedstep.
This will lower the multiplier and vcore when the CPU is idle.

There isn't an i5 6500k model. You must have the 6500, which isn't OC, or the 6600k, which might be Oced.

There isn't an i5 6500k model. You're either looking at a 6500, which isn't OC, or a 6600k, which is available. My mistake, it's the 6600k.
