Here is a list of most Intel CPU's showing the Tj. Max for each;
Not the best quality, there's a PDF; HERE
If you open Core Temp or any other temperature reading program, the results you're getting are more than likely wrong.
With CoreTemp and RealTemp at their default settings, here are my temps;
However, the Tj .Max for my CPU is set to 100c (default value). When in fact, the Tj .Max for the Q6600 G0 is 90c.
So, let's change the Tj .Max for both CoreTemp and RealTemp and get our correct temps;
Now you have the correct temperature readings for your specific CPU;
This will now allow us to OC our CPU's to their full potential since we'll now know their correct full load temps;
Hope this helps some people!
