RealTemp 3.00 Released
RealTemp got its major face-lift today with the introduction of the third major version. RealTemp is a nifty utility used to monitor the temperatures of Intel processors, with a breakdown of temperatures on a per-core and T-junction basis. The application makes use of the digital thermal sensor component Intel Core series processors come with. With version 3.00, RealTemp gets Core i7 friendly, supporting monitoring of its temperatures, including in Turbo Mode, where the software controls frequencies and power of individual processing cores.
The new release adds a host of features including plug-in support for RivaTuner, the ability to report temperatures of NVIDIA graphics cards, updated detection algorithms as per Intel specifications, and several UI improvements. The release covers as many as a hundred changes that include preliminary support for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. For a list of major changes and other information, head over to the RealTemp homepage.

If you compare two instances of RealTemp, one calibrated with your old TJMax value and one with your newer TJMax value you'll see that distance to TJMax is the same despite TJMax different values.
Something like this
Keep that distance >20-30 and forget about TJMax values. At least that's what I do. :)

You have a screenshot in my post above, different TJMax values->different core temperatures but same distance to TJMax.
So, try to forget "old fashioned" core temperatures and keep an eye on distance to TJMax because in full load that's all that matter for your CPU.
Zehnsucht and hayder.master: 90C is my best guess at the TJMax for your E6600 based on IR testing of my E6400 - B2 stepping. Intel says that TJMax is not a fixed number so the best thing to do is to calibrate RealTemp to your individual CPU. Read the documentation here on TechPowerUp and also read what rge found on XtremeSystems when he was testing / calibrating. This is an excellent way to find out what program or what TJMax you should be using.If enough AMD users complain I might be motivated to create a RealTemp version for them.
edit: load is 400x8=3200MHz and idle what it shows.
