Just FYI, most single cores are safe getting a little toasty (mid 80s I suppose) but with a dual core (or C2D whatever) 107 is very unsafe so don't be surprised if your PC shuts off and doesn't turn back on if you continue letting your CPU get that hot.

My old pc was crashing, when my pentium 4 was reaching 80°. Because of bad cooling.
I couldn't play blasterball during hours.

hell, even when my very first laptop got at 75° C was really worriesome, and it was a Celeron D.
but... 108 with a C2D? damn, you got a problem there, my friend

Did you use a notebook or laptop to play with? Maybe that's the cause. Both temperatures of CPU and Graphics card are rising while playing PCSX2.
I am opening Firefox while writing this. Both of two cores are 35°C in E7200.

77C in firefox is still very bad. If you don't have a laptop open up the case and blow out the dust. If that doesn't fix it you might have to reseat the heatsink.
If you have a laptop it still might be dust but you'll need a can of compressed air to clean it and even then it might not help all that much.

I can get as low as 21c if I turn on my AC on MAX, put a box fan on it, and max out the CPU FAN. Though not much of a reason to get it that low...normally it idles @ 33-35. I can't believe your CPU reached 110c and isn't dead. I had heard temps over over 75c could fry the comp within 10-15 minutes...that's scary. On load, I get about 45-55c.
One thing to look into is an after-market cooler, or take the CPU off and check how the thermal paste is, if it's all dried up and crusty, you may want to replace it.(Trust me, I did this, instant 20c difference)
Airflow, ectera, try putting a box fan.

Note that Core Temps and CPU temperature are different terms.
I watch over my CPU with CPUID Hardware Monitor (HWMonitor for short), displaying Core Temps and CPU temperature in one window.
In my example, both cores are 36°C while CPU is 27°C (shown as TMPIN1). Core Temps are always higher than CPU temperature.
