Hi, I have a 8350 with a 212 Evo and I'm having issues when the cpu has been under load it doesn't really want to go down to it's idle temp, 34-36, (socket temp) it goes really slowly down even with all chassi fans on max speed, and doesn't seem to want to go below 40 degrees. As when I start the computer it stays around 34-36 idle temp, and doesn't really increase much if I'm not putting it under load (playing BF3-4 makes it up to 61 degrees max) with two Noctua P12 pwm fans. So I'm just wondering if this is normal or if something is wrong?

Just buy a new heatsink/fan. I have an FX-6300K and it gets to the same temperature range. 60 degrees is pretty close to the maximum the processor can handle. Get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
I'm running it at stock 4.0 Ghz, turbo core off, Cool and quiet on. At the moment my ambient temp is quite high around 26 degrees. Case is a Fractal design R4 with stock fans, two intake front, one exhaust. Push and pull on the 212 evo, with Noctua fans. Gpu is a Msi 770 twin frozr.

Well the delta (difference between your CPU and the air) will be approximately 10-15C with the 212 and the 8350 at stock clocks, so you are pretty good! I would suggest if anything, that you just reseat your cooler and re apply the thermal paste.
Ah good, I've been hearing so many different stories haha! Some say it's around 5 more or something but that seems as if it's only possible with watercooling. Well actually the stock 212 fan was quite more powerful than these two Noctuas, with a few degrees. but these are more quiet though.
