That's fairly hard to believe, unless your system has zero thermal
inertia. I'd have an easier time suggesting that your reporting software
has been broken. I'm also curious as to how you're talking to the BIOS
to obtain these temperature values.

You can't claim "the machine does not lie" without substantiating
evidence. I'd want an external thermometer at the very least.
However, since you're the only one reporting this, you could do us all a
great service by taking a few minutes off to perform a binary search to
narrow down the date at which this purported change might have occurred.
You can trivially easily check out kernels and build them to see what
effect running them has on your operating temperature.
You haven't by some chance just recently started running eg. the SETI
@home client, or one of the distributed.net clients by any chance?
