At any settings those wont harm it. I can tell you since that is the stock cpu cooler from amd it is going to overheat and crash before you get anywhere.
EDIT: By crashing I meant that once the cpu gets to hot it simply shuts down, so no harm can be done as it will turn the system off to save itself.

Just keep a close eye on the temps and you should be fine. I for one don't trust stock coolers nor can I stand listening to them for longer periods of time 
Also your idle is pretty high. Got Cool'n'Quiet enabled?

when stress testing it idles at 50c to 52c on regular use its at 16c to 25c. kinda low compared to my phenom 955 not sure if its a software error im using hwmonitor.

Under a stock cooler either you are in a freezer or the temps are wrong. Also what do you mean idles under a stress test? Stress tests run at 100% or nothing typically. But those temps seem wrong, check coretemp, speedfan, and even the BIOS if you have to.

Ah, if those are your temps under prime you are fine. Those are actually low for a stock cooler. Once you hit 65+ you should stop it, or let it go and see how far you can get. My 965 somehow hit 78C @4.1 GHz before crashing under prime.

As a happy 8150 owner, I'm guessing your 8350 will overheat, poop out on a few of the Prime 95 threads, and happily run for the duration of the time you let it on the remaining threads.
The only concern you may have is overstressing the power circuitry of your motherboard. Modern CPUs such as your 8350 are designed to run at their highest power draw for as little as possible, so manufacturers of motherboards sometimes cut corners on their power circuitry. Not the processor's fault, but some boards blow when stressed. Pays not to cut corners when you buy your motherboard, just as with your PSU. Some things you just need to be able to handle whatever stress you might subject them to without falling over.
