ive gone and over clocked my fx 8320 from 3.5 to 4.0 with a core voltage of 1.34-1.35. ive done a few stress tests back to back and my cpu is running at about 33 degrees Celsius or about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. those temps and voltage seem high to me but no blue screens after about 30 mins of stress and its air cooled? any suggestions should i turn it down just to see if it crashes

33ºC is ok for idle, but yes it could be better, anyways, what you have to look at is your temp during load, make sure to use AMD Overdrive to see the thermal margin since other software is not accurate with FX CPUs.

Try running that OC with a lower voltage, mine's currently at 1.3125v @4.3Ghz, used to run 4.0Ghz with 1.275v, but results will vary depending your mobo, PSU and if you got or not a good binned CPU.
