Hi modmonster - hope you don't mind I merged your post into this thread which deals with the same types of questions you're asking.

I'd say that 105C is too hot (that's 221 F - my car's cooling fan comes on @ about 205 F). You need some way to monitor your temperature more accurately, or add an LED light so you know if your cooling fan is coming on. You may have overblocked things.
