Well i put my FX-8350 to the first real heavy test tonight (Mediamonkey) which utilizes every single core a computer can over for encoding, before i was using Winamp, which only utilizes 5-6 cores.

Speed (Fan) Test results:
6 Case Fans - 100%
4 Kraken Fans - 100%
Kraken x60 - Extreme Profile (3,000 - 3,600 rpm Pump Speed) & (2,000 - 2,800 rpm Fan Speed) (Push/Pull)

My temperature for encoding 400 songs in about 5 minutes, converting from 96 kbps to 320 kbps, was right around 34 degrees C (93-94 degrees f) for the cpu, and the inside of the case was around 86 degrees f, and the backplate of the cpu (hottest part) was around 93 degrees f? Are these pretty good temps?

My computer was at 100% continuously for about 5 minutes while encoding these songs, at all 8 cores.

I would say so. Running Prime95 overclocked to 4.5 GHz got me up to around 63-64 C I believe and I've seen numerous sources that say you really don't want to push the 8350s past 70, although I think the max temp on these chips is closer to 90 before they start shutting down. I don't want to find out, though.

Yes, i don't have any intention to be over clocking until i know exactly what this processor can do and how it ticks. I don't want to ruin a 200 dollar processor. These are right around the 34-35 degrees C mark, so I think it's pretty cool.

Those temps are well within the safe zone. As far as the 8350 chips, they're pretty good when it comes to overclocking. If you're slow, methodical, and slowly increment your OC up and stress-test the heck out of it you shouldn't have any fear whatsoever of ending up with a $200 piece of fried metal.

Hahaha I am a wing it guy, that is why i figured that side would get the better of me and be like oh look 3 GHz over and beep shuts down and fries it. lol. I plan to someday when i get the chance but right now i am really content with my laptop being used (my fiances uses the monster FX-8350 for all her games and things), my laptops a quad core by itself and has no problem outweighing some of the desktops i know. Both AMD chipsets.

Stress Test #2 (Prime 95)
Used Prime 95 with 8 workers:

Temperature for CPU stayed at 92.2-92.7 degrees after 6 hours. Is this good?

Yes, considering that AMD's run hotter then Intel's i was quiet surprised. Also one more question:

Is it bad if i had prime 95 maxed out memory, cores, and everything yet my processor wanted more to handle? I mean what does that mean?
