If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as -(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet. +On CPU models which support it, TjMax is read from a model-specific register. +On other models, it is set to an arbitrary value based on weak heuristics. +If these heuristics don't work for you, you can pass the correct TjMax value +as a module parameter (tjmax).
