The fact that the fan is blowing cooler air is because the heatsink is doing it's job. The fan moves air across the surface of the heatsink to disperse the warm air around, getting it off the fins. By the time it reaches the fan, it's not as hot as it was when it first touched the heatsink.
.... wait think about what you just said.

What happeneds is that cool air from my room goes into the case. Then blown over the heat sink. Then out the case.

If the heat sink is hotter, then the air that will go over it will be hotter right?

Also keeping it at a lower level and not letting it get to 60C must help also.
