My CPU is idling at 35-40 degrees. I read that this CPU should run at 20-25 degrees. I'm a bit worried that something might be wrong with it. I have the Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU cooler and the Corsair Carbide 500r with no extra fans other than the ones that come with the case.
Intel Xeon e3-1230v3 too hot?

Your temps are warm, but just fine. What're the temps when its on 60-80% load?
Ideal temps:
30-40C idle 0-10% load.
40-45C browsing/ streaming 10-30% load
45-55C medium gaming/ video converting 30-60% load
55-65C heavy gaming/ vfx/ video rendering 60-80% load
65-72C super heavy usage 80-100%
Those are with a stock or very weak cooler, reduce 5C for a powerful CPU cooler. 10C for liquid cooling.
You're safely in those temps, enjoy
PS: these temps can change by upto 5C due to difference in room temps.

Your temps are fine. You don't really need extra case fans.
But if you insist, then 2 top fans (140mm) for exhaust will help. Or you may get one top and one mid 120mm exhaust fan. I'd suggest the 2 top exhaust orientation.
