after several tries of getting bsod without passing test 1 in prime 95.
i tried this one.
i changed the asus profile to extreme.and disabled amd turbo core.
and manually changed the cpu ratio(4.4 ghz).
and disabling cpu and pci spread spectrum.
and manually setted cpu voltage to 1.45v. and it passed 3 tests . results below..

but the cpu temp was max at 73c. i use hw monitor to see temps . im confused about which cpu temp to notice .
in motherboard it shows 73c(max) while at amd fx8350 temps show 53c(max).answer this..
i stopped the test because of max temps. is this a stable overclock!!!!!!!!!!!
and another question im using corsair vs 550(550w) psu with amd fx 8350,2gb hd 7850,8gb ram,
could this damage my psu............
 
Solution
i would pick up a better power source like at least a 600w if your overclocking cause your drawing more power Amazon has good deals on Corsair PSU right now
The temperature under motherboard is the CPU socket. 73c is getting a little toasty for the socket. 70c should be the max safe temperature. 53c for the processor itself is just fine. 64c is the max safe temp for your processor.

The question regarding the PSU, you have no worries. 550w is enough for your rig.
