45The TjMax temperature is set to 85 degrees C if undocumented model specific 45On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register.
46register (UMSR) 0xee has bit 30 set. If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as 46On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics.
47(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet. 47If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value
48as a module parameter (tjmax).
