I kinda figure the thermal conductivity is better, so the heatsink gets more of the heat from the processors--is that bogus reasoning?
No, since the basic idea in cpu cooling is essentially to extract heat/ energy from where you don't want it to where you do. In this case you want it in the heatsink for dissipation through the circulation of air.

Warm to the touch is good. Warmer to the touch than before is better. Anyway, the machine will let you know if it is unhappy.
