I am willing to bet it is a false reading, monitoring apps are not foolproof. The developers have access to a limited number of boards/sensor configs to work with so more often than not a sensor is misread. If all your temps look good in your BIOS then there is usually nothing to worry about. The fact that the sensor name is a little obscure would further indicate an error in the monitoring app. If the high temp were on one of the core sensors like CPU, Package etc then it would be cause for concern, these sensors tend to be standardized and are far less likely to be misread by monitoring apps.

If you are concerned there is a problem you can easily check. 104c is hot enough that it will radiate heat inside your PC. Open up your case and move your hand around about 1 - 3cm or an inch over the board and see if you can feel any hot spots. If not then you can put your concerns to rest. You can also look up and try a few different monitoring apps and see if there is correlation between them.
