why did it happen?

conducting heat away from the cpu using copper wont work as good as aluminum.
even though copper can conduct heat, doesnt mean you can just make the rising heat of the cpu stop too. copper wont cool down just because its cunducting the heat away.
because the heat is always constent means that the heat is just gona rise. that is why you must have it suppressed, in your words you said insulate.
keeping the cooling plate of the cpu cool will directly stop heat growth of the cpu. you are not just try to get rid of heat, your trying to stop it at the source.
even if copper will cunduct heat away, you cannot cool it fast enough from stoping heat from building withing the copper.
in other word, you cant loose heat fast enough to still stay cool and not gaining temp.
its like the battery charged by the generater on the moter that is powerd by the battery. it just wont charge fast enough to be self efficient and not die. it just gets lower and lower.
same basic concept. you just cant loose heat fast enough to still stay cool.
so with that in mind to suppress the heat using aluminum witch resists heat, you stop the heat from growing, keeping it cool.
