E6600 Max Temp?

Overclocking a E6600 on a P5k. Current temps under full load are 52C per core. Intel lists Thermal Spec as 60.1C, but the program CoreTemp reads the Tj.(?) Max as 85C. So what is the max temp for these babies? I just ordered up some DDR2-800 so I can push the CPU farther, want to make sure I have the headroom without a HS upgrade. Thanks in advance.
 
Intel thermal spec is TCaseMax. CoreTemp measures TCore. TCore is usually 15C higher than TCase. So you have some headroom left.
