You ought to be able to re-mount the copper block, for a comparison: similar results will point to a burn-in, different results will point to a temp probe fault.

I intend to remount. I have had absolutely no time of late to spend on this. Less time even when considering the vagaries of thermal paste settling.
I'm pretty much of the opinion that it was just a freak case of very rapid thermal paste settling, as the final results from initial mount to the low point does concur with "2+ week old" AS3 mounts that I've had in the past, it's just that I've never had such a rapid occurrence of it before. I guess I was just surprised.
