This website seems to indicate that you can either do it in the bios directly, or with traditional overclocking softwares like MSI's Afterburner.
Though you specified you don't want to take it apart, i'd recommand changing your thermal paste anyway to avoid damaging your cpu. Maybe you can bring your pc somewhere else if the place where it's at is the problem. But anyway, that's none of my business.

Do you have an all-in-one liquid cooler on your CPU by any chance? Something like this Image
I’ve had one of these leak slow enough that after 7ish years the liquid evaporated and my CPU killed itself.
I had another fail the same way but I caught that one before the CPU failed.

Had something similar, but for a GPU. Also corsair.
Yeah, the tubing on the AIO failed and fried the GPU.
I went back to air cooling after that, just with a lot more focus (from me) on airflow, orientation, etc.
Plus, the high end air cooling stuff is good. Like, in the 90s (decade) we dreamed of cooling that good with air, and then water cooling came along. I just never cared for the concept of water running inside my electronics.
Now if I could get that super expensive crap from 3M that isn’t conductive and has similar thermal capacities to water, and run that through a water cooling system, I’d be fine with it. Its just prohibitively expensive.

Same. I went all in on noctua and haven’t looked back. Just needs a a good dusting a few times a year to maintain peak performance.
