Yes, there's a super-secret function in povray that instructs the CPU to
raise its temperature.
Seriously though, CPU temperatures are really not a problem of applications
(especially not compute-intensive ones.) If your CPU gets too hot, it's a
problem with your hardware. There may be several causes for that, such as:
- The CPU is not getting enough ventilation. This may be caused by poor
chasis design, or not having enough fans (or them having been installed
in the wrong places.)
- The CPU might not be getting enough ventilation because of too much dust
on its heatsink. You should check that.
- Wrong BIOS settings can cause the CPU fan to either spin too slowly
(causing overheat) or too fast (causing fan noise that's way louder
than it has to be.)
