remove the block. clean up old paste/reapply new. reseat block. if you don't have 2 fans on the radiator try it. pull from inside to out. 55 is wat too hot.

Hi,

Might be the cooler is not seated properly or thermal past not applied properly.

If the above is or, you might want to try lowering the voltage a bit to see if it helps, but that a long shot and can create instability problems with your system.
