1 week ago I bought a new case (Zalman Z3 plus) and a new CPU cooler (Zalman CNPS8X Optima). My friend helped me to overclock my FX-6300 3.50GHz to 4.0GHz. It runs cool, 60-61*C in Prime95. It worked fine for 1 week. Today, I played some Smite Arena and then I wanted to make a stress test with Prime95. Temps very cool (60-61*C). But after 3-4 minutes of Stress Test, my PC restarted with no reason...

I played with this OC for 1 week with no problem...
FX-6300 4.0GHz 1.350 Voltage

No, that's not the reason becouse with the stock cooler, the temps wre 70-73*C with 3.50GHz. And this problem started today. Everyone knows AMDs are hotter then Intel CPUs, so how can you tell me 60*C is far from cool for and AMD? Everyone told me not to go further than 65/70*C

Must be a wrong reading. The CPU will never ever work at 70°C.

You better read on google, AMD with stock coolers stay at 70*C. Tested on mine on Aida64 and on Bios, on idle stays at 50-54, so I bought an aftermarket CPU cooler and now stays at 35-40 on idle but it now restarts after 3-4 minutes of stress test and it didn't do that 1 week ago when I overclocked it. I tested for like 30 minutes with 58-61*C and it didn't restart...
