The Tjmax for nay core 2 chip is not necessarily 85 or 100 exactly. It is calibrated for each chip at the factory. That's why the DTS reading is so damn awesome.

And I *think* you weren't throttling. In the Intel docs, it states that the DTS reading is the number of degrees between the current core temp and TCC (throttling). So unless you see a DTS of 0 in CoreTemp 0.95 you shouldn't be throttling. I think. (And since you said you were at 85 degrees, that's somthing like 10 or 20 degrees DTS) Maybe I misunderstood something.
