Anyone know the TJ Max for a Q9450 or Q9xxx series?

Hi guys,

I'm currently investigating some heat issues on my CPU and I wanted to check that the TJ Max settings of Real Temp and SpeedFan, which are currently set to 100, were accurate. A Google sugests some debate on whether it's 85, 95 or 100.

Any ideas? It's a Q9450 C1 revision. If you know the answer do link to your source, it'd be nice to know if there is somewhere out there I can use as a reference!
 
Cheers for the help guys. Reading temperatures on processors can be a minefield, but having an idea of what in theory the TJ Max should be does help.

After an hour running prime 95 with TJ Max set to 100 my processor is hitting 72c now, which is 28c away from TJ Max. I think I've been mis-reading the 'thermal specification' on the Intel processor which states 71.4c, which worried me somewhat when I was running at 72c.
