It is possible, but it will be difficult. You will have to do a base clock overclock. I would suggest doing some reading on it, because it is not nearly as easy as if you just had a K-series CPU.
That cooler is okay. It will be good enough for your i5-6500.Do you know we’re can I search and Is this cooler good: Cooler Master CPU Cooler Hyper H411R
After base clock do I have to overclock it or base clock is a way of overclocking. And i found this video on yt should I follow itThat cooler is okay. It will be good enough for your i5-6500.
But again, before you go buying coolers and all, see if base clock overclocking is something you can do. You can do it before you buy a cooler, and if you are successful you can buy a cooler. I have tried base clock overclocking and I probably didn't spend enough time tweaking it, but it just wouldn't work for me.
