I'm thinking maybe using the different heatsink may be causing the readings to be off.
Youtube IS NOT LOAD AT ALL, even with a few 1080p videos and it might not be using all your cores. I just opened up 20 1080 videos on Youtube and my CPU didn't break 50° C on 1100 RPM fan setting after 5 minutes.

Use Prime95 (blend test) AND Furmark and then tell us what your temperatures are. If I Prime95 or Furmark for 5 minutes on 1100 RPM, my CPU will hit 70° C! It's completely different.

Also, instead of CoreTemp, use RealTemp.
