I don't know why I'm so fortunate, but TThrottle works perfectly for me.  I was told by XFX that 105-110Cwas the shutdown range for my GPU, and 94C would not likely cause damage.  Nice words, but I am now happily seeing the temps controlled at 85C.

Will this work across the board on any other, or all computing jobs?

I don't do code at your level so I do not understand how it works withinin BOINC, but for overclockers like me, this could be an equipment saver; -for gamers and just those who enjoy pushing the envelope. 

I only had temp problems when running the BOINC projects that lean on the GPU, then it would be in the mid 90C range.  I don't actually own any games, but I bought the 3DMark06 to check things with occasionally, and it seems games can heat things up too.

CPU cores never hit 60C anymore, but who knows, I could soon get a HiPerf unlocked chip, and a motherboard with the controls to do it, then I might need the throttling there too.

Can't afford much, but after what you just gave me in peace of mind, plus increased longevity of my hotter-than-it-should-be XFX Radeon 4870, I had to get involved a tiny bit!
