Is this okay to do without changing any voltages?

I'm running liquid cooling at 45C ambient 65C load.

Do I just go to the BIOS and set overclock to manual, then change the CPU speed to 4.4GHz?
 
That's less to do with CPU speed and more how quickly the system can transfer data around the place, which is why SSDs were a paradigm shift in performance when they came out; you could literally do nothing other than swap a mechanical drive for a SSD and the system would feel magnitudes faster instantly (because, as an overall system, it was).

To your point though, boost algorithms engage and disengage in a matter of nanoseconds so yes, absolutely imperceptible.

Why are you concerned about this anyway? Is you system struggling?
I upgraded after 10+ years from a 2500K I OC'ed to 4.4GHz 24/7. Now I"m running a NVME drive, I guess I should just leave the CPU alone. XD

Thanks.
