PcCI2iminal: Thanks for reading MSR 0x1A2 and posting that. 0x5C = 92 so Intel did set TJ Target to 92 on your CPU and Core Temp and RealTemp are both reading that information correctly. Pt1t has a 920 ES and CoreTemp shows that his TJ Target is set to 93.

The question now is did Intel lower TJMax or did they only lower the TJ Target value? It's possible that the actual TJMax is still 100C.

I hate to be cynical but if all Intel did was lower the TJ Target value in this register then all software will report your core temperature lower than it actually is.
We'll have to wait until the retail CPUs come out to find out what's really going on.

The best way to test for this is to lower your vcore and MHz as low as they can go and compare your reported core temperature to your room temperature near your open case.
rge did some testing here.

If your reported core temperature during this test is the same or lower than your air temperature when air cooled then I'd be suspicious about these new TJ Target values.
