Was that each core? Or the entire package.
I have used that cooler with system builders at a couple of stores and it really struggles to hold the load. However the voltages you are using will not generate the wattage to cause the cooler to fail. That means there is something else.
Could you please tell me what settings in bios you change to OC to 4.4GHz?
