That doesn't sound realistic to me. That cooler is desinged to be in push configuration so that rear exhaust fan the pulls the hot air out of the case. I think there's no fan that can perform better pulling than pushing trough heatsink without any shroud.

If your temps really dropped that much I'd say you've had terrible contact before re-mounting. It's likely that some of the push-pins were not attached properly to the mobo
