and 56c load.

yes. those temps are normal. and it's a f'ing overclocked CPU. you also have a nice aftermarket cooler. if you want to bring the temps down, look for better cabinet and add few fans for cooling.

I have some industrial grade thermal paste that I have used on my laptop, and I see a difference of 10 degree C. Temperature is hovering around 60 now.
