If you is living in Brazil, I wouldn't be surprised that it reaches 55 degrees. My machine normaly sits around 40-41.
Your best bet is to look in the BIOS, and see what kind of indication you get from that.

Yup, Kane is right. I also live in Brazil, and my comp is reading around 55C as well. Not surprising, since it's over 30C outside.

About the monitoring tool, I use SpeedFan, gives me readings pretty similar to the ones in the BIOS.
