I have an i7 930 on an Asus P6X58D-E that's been overclocked to 3.8Ghz from 2.8Ghz, with 10GB of 1333Mhz RAM underclocked to 1143Mhz. When I take out modules and restart the CPU, it runs about 2 degrees cooler each time. Any explanation for this?

Reduced heat output and improved air circulation?

Reduce the load on the memory controller.
