What's the TDP threshold?

The temperature threshold is about 80C I think.
The 920 starts to throttle on my DFI JR when it hits around 85C and current/TDP limits are not disabled in bios. Not sure about the TDP barrier tho.. I'd guess around 150W.

Really looking forward to replacing all my single and dual socket Nehalems with Gulftowns, 50% more crunching-power
