It may be a program failure thing, because programs cannot measure temps accurately, did your motherboard not come with a temperature prod thing which gives a better reading?

Yup , thats impossible.
100 degrees is the boiling point of water , so if your motherboard was that hot , it would melt pretty much everything else in your pc. If your motherboard has no temperature sensor , the program could get confused and pick a random data value from the program's code. The fact that it doesn't show in the BIOS further reinforces the fact that it is a program error , not your actual temperature.

Motherboard sensors sometimes fail, get enumerated wrong, are grossly out of calibration, etc. Same goes with CPU temperatures - you sometimes see people with utilities reporting idle temperatures below freezing while they are using air-cooling and their room temperature is over 20C which intrinsically guarantees real core temperature will be at least 20C even with the PC turned off altogether.

Yep, but like Oxygene said it's impossible to be at 107Cº, it could mealt everything.
I tried now if a Piriform Speccy
Results:
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M51AC (SOCKET 1150) 28 °C
Tried with Open Hardware Monitor:
No results for the Motherboard.
What you guys think?

There actually isn't much inside PCs that will melt at less than 200C since the reflow manufacturing process used for most mass-produced PCBs using surface-mount components can peak at around 260-280C for up to 45 seconds and all components involved in that reflow process must be able to survive it completely intact.
If components melted at 100C, it would be impossible to assemble modern electronics.

That depends on which component was at ~100C.
Things like schottky diodes (the simple, inexpensive but very fast rectifiers used in most low-cost PSUs) reach their peak efficiency at 100-125C and are usually rated for 175C.

Assuming the motherboard has a temperature sensor, that sensor only senses temperature in its general vicinity. If it is located directly in the middle of the VRM's rectifiers, 70-100C under heavy load would not be so surprising. If it was located in an unused corner of the board or in the platform monitoring chip itself then it would be more questionable assuming there are no probable hot spots nearby.
Making sense of temperatures is all about the sensors and their neighborhood.
