That temperature is totally normal, the max temp of your CPU is 125 degrees, so honestly if that's the maximum heat its outputting there's nothing too worry about.

I don't have an FX 8350,but 69°C doesn't seem that high of a temperature.
My rule is,if it's under 75°C it's all good.If you're not convinced,just download OCCT and run the CPU test.

If you really want to be safe,change the thermal paste.Maybe you have too much(or too little).Your Hyper 212 Evo should keep it cool.
Where on AMD's site does it say that ?

why should i underclock it when there are people running it at 4.0 Ghz with the stock cooler under 60 degrees could that mean the cpu is damaged?

I doubt its your CPU cooler.
The thing that is most likely to go wrong would be a malfunctioning socket, but of course there is no way to test this theory without buying a whole new board (Not practical at all!)
And yes @zoddiakku those temps should honestly be a bit lower but they're not going to do any long term damage either.
Is your case dusty? @darknessrising also how many fans do you have on your case

You need a real cpu cooler like a DH14 with a 8320 or 8350. The Hyper 212 Evo of which I have three is ok with say a 4300 or a 6300 or a Deneb or even a Thuban. Not so much with an eight core.

Well,if it's still under warranty just take it back to the store and ask for a replacement.It could be a defective socket(or the CPU itself).You could try a new cooling solution(or installing it on a different mobo to see if it's the cpu or the socket),but the easiest way would be to take it back to the store.
