Does anyone know what the normal recommended operating temperature of this chip is?
Also what is the maximum temp before thermal throttle cuts in?

The maximum temperature for the QX6700 given a 130w thermal solution is 64.5c before Intel's Thermal Monitor kicks in. Download the QX6700 data sheet here.

and you may add that 64.5C is the maximum recommended TCASE temperature at 130W.
This safe temperature threshold rises as the watts increase, so if you overclock and your wattage is now 180W for example, the maximum recommended (following the linear graph) would be 73C.
However when tJunction reaches 100C, throttling begins regardless of your wattage or tCase temperature.
