• No. The Z490-A Pro supports 10th & 11th Gen Intel Processors. The i5-6500 is a 6th Gen Intel processor. Motherboards that support 6th Gen Intel Processors are the Z170 and some Z270.

• No, the i5-6500 will not physically fit in the socket in this motherboard. You need a motherboard with an LGA 1151 socket and a 100 or 200 series chipset.
