Your motherboard might not be providing enough power to the CPU fan. Larger fans like yours (good choice by the way) sometimes pull more juice than the motherboard can provide. If you can connect the fan to the powersupply directly or via voltage controller designed to regulate fans you probably can bring your CPU temp down from 55C by increasing the fan's RPMs.
One other thing, although it may be an obvious question: the Vortex Dream that I looked at had its own fan controller; do you have the fan running at full speed from that controller?
