Pretty simple. A die sim is a large chunk of copper (or whatever), a CPU is a small chunk of silicone with transistors and what not in it. They do not react the same to power input or cooling effect from the block.
That is also why lasers and conduction are useless IMO and why a gave up on that other thread. Taking base plate temps is stupid IMO. You want to know how well the block cools the die not how well it cools itself.
Anyway I am done with testing mumbo jumbo for a while.
