55 under load isn't bad tbh.
I have one of these Tuniq TOWER 120@YOYOtech and it's darned good, bit it's rather large. E6600 42c under max load @ 3.6ghz

I know, and I’m absolutely astounded how well this chip overclocks. I will say one thing though, it really is worth spending that little bit extra on the motherboard, a lot of people assume it just joins all the expensive bits together (Graphics card, memory & CPU) but it is just as important.
