One of the best ways to control GPU temperature is by using Nvidia's Performance tool, setting up rules that control fan speed according to GPU temperature. Previous version of Performance did not work too well, but the latest on Nvidia's website is working well for me. Even now, counter-intuitively, one has to move the "Cooling" switch from "Automatic" to "Manual" in the Device Settings tab to engage Performance. I know this isn't Boinc's job, but if somewhere in the Boinc documentation it was written that the (latest version of) Performance tool could be used to control GPU temperature, if might save someone a lot of money.
