Hanabal, 55 C is *normal* for this processor. 42-43 when idle is a tad high, but that depends on the environment (ambient temp, case airflow, etc). The fan doesn't need to be faster, because it's doing fine as it is. The jump from 43 to 56 isn't that big a deal. The CPU can run at temperatures up to 70 or 80 degrees. If it really gets too hot, it has an automatic shutdown feature, which prevents damage to the chip; you can probably also set the bios to give you a warning in this case.

in short: stop worrying, your computer is fine.
