The Tthrottle add-on for BOINC is supposed to help with such problems.
You might check if it's compatible with the machine where you saw that
problem.

A specific instance where the cooling solution is inadequate to support
continuous 90% utilization of a resource is IMO no reason to exclude that
particular GPU. There have been 8400 GS cards doing useful work for S@H since
January 2009, and I would guess that 6.08 CUDA app_version for
setiathome_enhanced has a similar GPU utilization.
Some way for BOINC to monitor resource temperatures would be ideal, but I doubt
it's practical. Utilities like GPU-Z are not totally reliable even though
they're updated frequently. It's temperature readings for your 8400 GS are
probably correct, but even the latest version 0.6.8 released 9 days ago
provides a GPU temperature reading for the HD 7660G GPU portion of the AMD
A10-4600M APU in my Lenovo laptop which is clearly wrong.
