It feels like it's tight enough without popping off and it's not loose.

No. I have the Megahalem. I know it's not in my sig yet, but I changed from TRUE to Mega. To be honest, the difference isn't really there. And I think I've hit a wall with my OC, so 4.14Ghz is about as far I can go without raising the voltage over 1.35v.

Anyway, back to your issue, mid 50s in your load temps are not unreasonable by any means. BTW, do you have Smart Fan Control enabled in your BIOS? If your fan is not running 100%, then your temps are right where it should be. Your motherboard won't turn the fans up until you hit 70c or more, and I think that might be the cause of your worries.

Either way, it's nothing you have to worry about.

Are you saying that a load temp of 55°C is reasonable/normal for 100% stock? I mean, again: it's not overclocked yet.

Cool. I'm glad we got that possibility eliminated.

With this case, you can certainly have much, much better cable management than this. You can stuff almost all of those cables behind the motherboard tray. And having them all at the bottom like that could be significantly decreasing the airflow from the front intake fan.

You would be very surprised to see what kind of temperature differences you'd get if you were to have "perfect" cable management. I mean, it's just a big mess right now.

What is this called Smart Fan Control enabled? Is it SFC or something? Or how exactly I wanna refer to the manual to check. Thanks.

I mean I don't know how to stack it behind the mobo tray and I don't wanna take the mobo apart. Can you show me some pictures of perfect cable managment? Thanks.

you don't have to take the motherboard apart. Put the cable behind the motherboard tray so most cables are not visable. Here's an example of my case.

Smart Fan Control could be an option in your BIOS that can be set to Enabled, or Manual. I have mine set to Manual because I am a control freak with my rig. It's just a fan speed control in the BIOS.

There are giant holes in your motherboard tray to pass the cables through, so use them. Just be creative. Be determined to make it so you can't see any of the cables from inside the case where all of the components are. With this case, it's easily possible to have all of your cables behind the motherboard tray.

I have no clue what a motherboard tray is lol. So I'm waiting for the pictures.
