first cpu temp

[captbirdseye06]

Hi guys,
Bit of a n00b question, but what should me cpu temps be on my initial build test? I'm using an i5/Gellid Tranqillo and getting 40 degrees with my main board temp 29 degrees.

The motherboard is not currently the case (just resting on the box). I5 is running 3.3 and not overclocked and have no boot device connected.

Can anyone offer advice? I feel that 40 degrees is pretty hot whilst idle?

Yeah speedstep is enabled.

Yes just checking that everything is in working order before plonking it in my case but i wasn't expecting it so high when not actually doing anything.
