Cooler GPU

In one of our computers a Zotac GPU was installed (Zotac GeForce GTX 780 3GB AMP! to be exact) and the processor remained an Intel Core i7 2600. For the processor a new after-market cooler was installed and for the GPU also, together with fans on all case grids.
Initially the temperatures as measured on the CPU were around 70C to 75C. However, after performing a software upgrade on the install stack, temperatures suddenly dropped to 40C to 45C, with no noticeable drop in performance. No other changes were made, the machine is connected as it was before, in the same location etc.

What could have caused the drop in operating temperatures?

cpu_family

cpu_family(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       cpu_family(3alleg4)

NAME

       cpu_family - Contains the CPU type. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern int cpu_family;

DESCRIPTION

       Contains the Intel type, where applicable. Allegro defines the following CPU family types:

	  CPU_FAMILY_UNKNOWN  - The type of processor is unknown
	  CPU_FAMILY_I386     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 386
	  CPU_FAMILY_I486     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 486
	  CPU_FAMILY_I586     - The processor is a Pentium or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_I686     - The processor is a Pentium Pro, II, III
				or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_ITANIUM  - The processor is an Itanium processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC  - The processor is a PowerPC processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED - The processor type needs to be read
				from the cpu_model

       You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
