core temp tj max = 85c huh?

[systemviper]

Hi, I am finally getting my rig running and just put core temp on it to start testing temps against other temp programs, but what is tj max and why is it 85%, I have always seen it 100%


thanks in advance

It is a magic number from which you substract the reading from the diodes and get the real temp, Intel does not make them public so people stimate them using sensors and stuff and when theres a number a lot of people in the community agrees is the correct, it makes it to the autodetect feature of everst, realtemp, hw, etc... usually real temp us the first on to adopt them, like with 45nm measuring with 95 tjmax....

So, its not a percentage.
If it was autodetected, what procesor is it?

Does other programs detect the same?
if so, dont worry!
