AFAIK going into the BIOS is not being idle so yes, there's load on the CPU. But not enough for 57 C TBH...
How are the temps when doing stresstests and using stuff like coretemp/hwmonitor?
It could be either of these 2 options (assuming you used the proper amount of thermal paste this time):
1) Dodgy read-out in the BIOS
2) Dodgy sensor
3) Temperature displayed in Fahrenheit for some reason? (EDIT: discard this, fans spinning at max wouldn't happen if this were true)
I have read about the bad temperature read-outs on BD but that was mainly sub-ambient idle temps...
EDIT:
Make sure you apply the proper amount of thermal paste. Check this video about the different methods and to get a bearing on the amount you should use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4
Do note: full coverage of the IHS isn't necessary but not a bad idea IMHO. The danger of trying to get full coverage is applying too much thermal paste.
Do you have an aftermarket cooler? I would think so since you cared to use AS5.
If so : screw it down evenly. Like if you have 1 screw on each corner do 2 turns, go to the one diagonally, do 2 turns and so on and so forth. Making a cross pattern until all of them are tightened down.
That way the pressure of the cooler is more even and helps spread the thermal paste properly
