I managed to get into the bios and the cpu temp said 103c.

The fan is over working it seems. It's an Intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz chip.

Build the computer out of used parts and everything else is working...so any ideas why the temp is so high? How do I lower it?

Could it be the very crappy PSU that i have? i have a coolmax 400w.

Purchase a new CPU cooler today. I disagree with your assessment that something is on "very tight" if all the pins required to hold it down are broken.
