Newly installed watercooling, both PC and room now have cooler temperature. I am confused.

As the title says. I newly installed water cooling in my PC, and for some odd reason contrary to all logic and what I would assume correct according to how thermodynamics are supposed to work..

Both my computer and the room the computer is in, is cooler than usual (weather has even been "warmer" lately). 
Anyone have any idea why on earth this is happening, or why it's the case? 

 

Could I have ended up randomly doing some form of dehumidifying to the room by any chance? Could that cause a noticeable drop in temps?

Or could it have something to do with multiple radiators splitting heat more efficiently than previously, when cpu and gpu's were heat-sink cooled?

 

I'm "fairly" new to watercooling on private rigs, and my previous experience with it was on a server-rack level when I worked in the ICT-business (but then we used direct water cooling, with water that was cooled prior to entering the servers, and never reused).

 

I know this makes me sound like a complete noob, but I'm seriously confused and baffled by this.

In my expert opinion gypsy magic is at work here. I'd call Ghostbuster's right away.

Accidentally pooped my pants in the elevator.

I'm taking this shit to a whole new level.

Did you read that part? I would usually say "hey it's winter, overclocking time!".. but as it's been warmer lately, after water-cooling the rig, not sure if that would be the case.

Probably something to do with humidity or that the heat from PC is more spreaded....

no, your computer is putting out more cooler air now that its water cooled.  it's  fairly common to see lower ambient temps once you watercool, more air circulation means more heat is absorbed into the stuff in your room.

Hmm, that's what I thought at first, but couldn't really make sense of it. Most people would say "heat generated is always the same", but considering almost maxing out fans on rads, and having a cpu clocked up 0.5GHz, but still at 31°C.. Shouldn't really be any proper cause of major heat-generation, so it would logically be easier to dissipate the heat when there are more sources of heat-dissipation than previously with only a few heat-sink based coolers.
