If intention is to run BOINC as stealth as possible then the fan speed should be measured indeed. This (though linked with) different intention than just prevent overheat (to prevent overheat one would like to make fan spinning faster, but to make BOINC as stealth as possible and to not irritate user with loud fan one should measure fan speed and throttle CPU/GPU if rotation too fast(read:fan too loud).
