i just bought amd fx 8350 .

i over clocked it to 4.4ghz with
1.38v cpu voltage
1.2v cpu/nb ( i can even put only 1.75v only)
200 bus
22x multiplier
idle temp 38C (i live in the philippines)
in games like 46-50C
in stress test prime95 : 75C
in stress test occt :75C
in stress test AMD od : 75C -8to-9C thermal margine
in unengine (extreme 1980x1080) : cpu :46-47C / gpu : 70-72C

spec:
cpu: amd fx 8350(previously amd fx 4100)
cpu cooler: corsair h80
mb: sabertooth 990fx r2.0
ram:4x4 g.skill ripjaw 1600 cl9
psu: corsair AX 860
atx: cm storm enforcer
gpu: sapphire r9 280x dual-x(soon to be crossfire)

before when i was using AMD fx 4100 i even overclocked it from 3.6ghz (base clock) up to 4.4-4.5ghz below 1.45v with idle of 39-43C
stress test prime95 and occt max of 55C.
im shocked why is my amd fx 8350 generating alot of HEAT. :(

Have you tried to undervolt the cpu a bit? try it in gradually, till it doesn't boot, and reset bios, till you find it is good to go, and then stress test the cpu in minimum 5 minutes, that it is all right. Find a good voltage that it runs okay.
I cannot remember which voltage I have had in my old PC with FX 8320, that i then sold months ago
AMD Overdrive has a Stability Test (Cannot remember the name of it)

i have updated please check the details and please help me or give advice :( anyway i have low cost thermal compound atm soon to change it. but it doesnt change the fact that i get super high temps... i bet high quality thermal compound will give me 3-5C less but thats all.
 
You have to understand the 8350 is the or was the highest fx chip at the time so its going to run hotter with the standard cooler because it has more cores and higher clock speed, You don't need water cooler unless your trying to get 5 ghz out of her but a nice cooler master hyper 212 heatsink fan around 30 bucks will allow you well over 4 ghz with cooler temps.
