It's not excessive,don't worry too much.

42C inside the case (assuming ambient temp of 20C) is a
bit high. Not critical, but inside the case temps should
be in the mid-high 30s if possible.

55C for a CPU, may or may not be hot, all depends on the
CPU (and I'm not up on Intel products).

Also, the cheap thermistors in use on the MB/CPU aren't
very accurate. Get a digital therm or something
calibrated and test.

My office is currently 26C. One system has an internal
temp of 36C, one is at 43C which is a bit hot since it
has 6 7200rpm drives, the other is at 40C. Once it
cools down in the office a bit (to 21C), all of those
temperatures also drop 3-5C.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
