First time boot of my FX-8350

[Bluenerer]

My temp on my CPU for my first boot was about 40C is that normal?

Stock cooler? that's not a bad temp, not wonderful either (i see about 33 at idle with my 8320 @ 4.1 with a CM 212+)

Yes its a stock cooler when will it start to get Dangerous?

when the core temps get up into the 60's (core, not socket mind you, which is what most monitoring programs report), then you should start to re-think whatever it is you're doing to your poor CPU...this often corresponds to a socket temp of 70ish...so you're a long ways off of that.

Yeah, that's nothing to worry about, stock cooling is fine if you're not going to push it and don't mind a little noise (many people upgrade cooling just because of the noise).
