It shouldn't fry your CPU immediately, but long-term usage might not be that ideal. 104 degrees Celsius certainly seems to be too high. That could be dangerous for your CPU if you constantly at that. It could be close to the maximum capacity your CPU can handle. It all depends on your specific CPU and cooling.
Ideally you want to be between 70 and 80 degrees Celsius as an average for your 3D applications (lower is always better of course), with occasionally some of the busier scenes going towards the 90 degrees Celsius. Essentially, there is nothing to worry about as long you are most of the time remain below 80 degrees Celsius. Again, check your CPU and cooling for specifications.
Emulating Ocarina of Time usually leaves me around 55-75 degrees Celsius as an average for all my CPU cores, depending on the current load. Most of the game just runs between 55 and 60 degrees Celsius. I tend to use quality enhancements which add up to the cost in CPU power, but still that is a perfectly safe temperature for me to run at.
Anyway, I am not a dev here, so you should ask them.
Just to be sure, are you referring to Fahrenheit of Celsius? Personally, I am used to Celsius. If we are talking 104 degrees Fahrenheit then you shouldn't worry, and should translate into 40 degrees Celsius, which is perfectly safe. Also, did your overclock your CPU?
Celsius, yes. It seems actually that after some testing this morning, my temps are staying in the 70s and 80s Celsius for anything but Metroid Prime and Mario Kart at 720p. Prime sent my temps over 100C. Mario Kart kept them in the 90s. No I did not overclock my CPU.
