I was worried about the core readings, too. Because on idle it shows like 11°C at 21°C room temperature. The trick is that the readings are only correct guessings under load...
Here's a screenshot of my FX-8320 on stock values after 30 minutes Prime95 blend test. The aquaero 4 has temperature sensors directly at the socket of the CoolerMaster Nepton 240M, the VRM heatsink and one RAM heatsink. The real mesurements do correlate with the readouts in AIDA64...
(don't mind the frequency - it's an occasional drop under full load)
Undervolted? Some boards run them as high as 1.45v at stock clocks under load and yours is at 1.16v.
Btw, how does it compare to your w3520? I recon W3520 comes out on top, but if you overclocked FX8350 too then they should be pretty even for rendering and stuff.

AMD has not used temperature sensors in their chips since K8. They use an algorithm to calculate what the temperature is and it only starts to become accurate at around 45C.

gaming wise the 8350 does better. But i run the 8350 at 4.7 and the w3520 at 4.0.IDk about render
