If you're hitting 40C with stock speeds then I doubt you could hold 4.4GHz with that cooler.

Missed the under, but I still doubt it would hold much past ~4.2-4.3 because that's usually a big jump in voltage for these chips.

I agree with that whole-heartedly.
Probably wanted something quieter than stock since he's folding.
Just trying to make sure the OP knows that mid-range air won't cut it.

that "slight smell" post bothers me.
did you remove the plastic from the bottom of the heatsink?
the ulta psu, if it's like mine it's multi rail, besure the cpu and gpu are not on the same rail.
go into bios and reset to defaults and see if that clears it up.

Nice catch C_D, I forgot about the plastic protector they put on some of those.

I agree, just make sure the HS (air or water) can out perform the CPU or there will be smoke.

AMD's response regarding the FX-9370,
"We are very sorry for the lack of response and extended wait time in dealing with your request.
It is better to use water-cooling than air-cooling to combine with FX9370 as its thermo is large. Cooling equipment Such as CORSAIR, Coolermaster, etc. You can search the web for more details and decide which one. As for the voltage, its range is 1.3750V~1.5375V, and the Case Temp of FX9370 is 57°C, usually you can get the socket Temp form some software or BIOS , the Socket Temp is usually 5-10 °C higher above the Case Temp.
Thanks for contacting AMD, if any other concerns, please let us know."
... I was originally going to install Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink+Fan, but after reading this response from their helpDesk am now definitely considering attempting to fit some sort of Closed-Circuit WaterBlock

Personally I would use something along these lines if it'll fit in the case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106190
I had one and it should work well if all is left at stock/default. Just make sure there's lots of fresh air getting into your case

I agree with Johan he's used the one he linked on his. I'd be surprised if the H80i will be any better then the Noctua.
