Welcome to XS
44C on the PWM is OK, bit way too much if you're going to squeeze extra MHZ out of your CPU. With similar voltage I idle at 33C (25C ambient) and 49C when loaded on the PWM.
Any type of ramsinks is a _must_ on the CPL chips, plus a high CFM fan and transpiper. This alone will make your CPU prime at lower vCore. I also cool back of the mobo when I want to go above 3.9Ghz during the summer. Putting some MX-2 or AS5 would be a good idea on the digital MOS-FETs under the heatpipe. Congrats, DFI's (and Foxconn's) 8-phase digital PWM is the best design yet for handling quads, nothing can beat it.
