should be idleing around 30C or so and under load around 50C.
Check that the fan is seated on the CPU good and that the fan has no dust in it, also for the other fans clean them out of dust

Is this a program that you're getting the temps from or the BIOS?
Your CPU should have shut down before it hit 100C. If it's 100F then it's running quite cool and you shouldn't worry about it. In fact, you might want to check to see if it's running a full clock speed. |

That's why I said to check the processor speed. It may be under-clocked. |
