The temperature of the thermocouple, which was on _top_ of the
heatsink got hotter. Dont trust the CPU temperature readings that
several utilities give you.
If the heatsink is getting hotter, and the total amount of energy put
out by the CPU is constant, then it stands to reason (so I say) that
means the CPU is cooler.
