Aluminum and fiberglass too

I'm kind of doubting that it's plastic because of the force required to seat a cooler to the socket which is typically ~40lbs. of force. Plastic would distort too much.

However, an easy check to make sure that what I described is indeed your issue:

Set your rig back to stock clocks, remove the H50 and install the OEM cooler. If you no longer get the 55 code then you know it's bridging (shorting) a couple of circuits.

Give it a try.

PS: For what it's worth, with my boards I also updated the BIOSes and that made no difference whatsoever.

Good luck.
