Been using this setup for some time now, and the temperatures are really low. I'm looking to upgrade for better single-core performance. What's a good safe single-core boost option for this CPU? And just for fun, what would be a solid all-core upgrade?

The 4.8-4.9GHz single core performance should be achievable, and you might even reach 4.8GHz with all cores. It will depend on the chip selection. Aim for around 1.3V, with a range of a few percent, and observe your temperatures. You're likely to encounter cooling challenges (over 100°C under heavy loads) before hitting high voltage levels (above 1.4V), based on what I've heard.
