I'm using a Noctua NH-d14 along with my 3570k and Chaser mk-1 case.

I live in a pretty dry and hot place first of all, and my idle is around 25-33'C.

Are my temps higher than expected?

Also, my PC's back is about 8 inches from the wall.

Idle te3mps, anything under 35 C with a ambient of 20/22C is fine.
BUT this is NOT what you need to look at, need to check under LOAD.
I run Prime 95 in blend mode to check stability and to verify HSF ability to cool CPU. Like to see 65C (I use 70C as max) or Under. Yes the IB CPU's do not even throttle until around 95->100C.
