That simply cant be right. Download CPUID the post a screenshot.
Acording to Intel, 72.4c is the max on the e8400

Check to you've attached the cooler properly first. When I fitted one like it, I didn't connect it properly and it resulted in very hot temps.
Just make sure each connector is pushed down well.
Though a 3rd party cooler will always result in better temperatures as well.

Intel said all E8xxx CPUs that the max TJ temp is 100c from what I've read.

The e8400 has the folliwing max temps:
Tcase Max 72.4c, Tjunction Max 105c
Your Tjunction reading is at 94c so id be worried if that was correct.

Basically your coolings not good enough. Your motherboard, hard drive and cpu temps are way to high. You should invest in more fans and make sure your cooling solution is optimized.
1. Have more fans taking air in than out
2. Intake fans at the front of case with outake at the back
3. Clean out the dust from your pc
4. Invest in a better case if its the case thats causing high temps
