39c or 46c is fine for the VRM/Mosfets, if you google it you can find out the safe temp of the VRM/Mosfets will be 125c degree. Because the fx9370 has the 220W TDP, the power phase will try to work hard to power it, that why the VRM temp is higher. And your cpu has the water cooler to cool it down, but the VRM is not that luck with only heatsink.

I found one review for the fx9370, when they oc the CPU temp is up to 70c something. So your temp are fine, also if the temp of the VRM/Mosfets is too high then the PC will shut down by itself.
