Check your board version (should be printed somewhere on the board) and get BIOS from http://www.ecs.com.tw/download/bios_m.h ... ction_id=1

Temperature is so high because the mainboard reads the internal sensor from your CPU and not the sensor below the CPU (usually displaying 10-20 degrees too low)
