I wouldn't really worry about those temps. They are on the high side, but its a high end chip, and you're in Hawaii.
A better HS will cool the system better. No doubt about it, but you should be ok as its within range. My PC gets above 50 on a hot day. (AthlonXP 1700@2.1ghz)
edit: Also, don't just take the side of the case off. It will screw up your airflow. You've got enough ventilation anyway.
