Testing whether my fan and CPU temperature monitoring program is ok

I am designing a monitoring program for the fan and CPU temperature in my FC6 linux computer using lm_sensors and net-snmp 5.4.2.1.
If there are fan and CPU temperature problems, then a snmp trap should be sent.
How to test my monitoring program by forcing net-snmp to send a trap without damaging any hardware?

Set your max temperature at just above the normal reading so that you get some hits under load. You can download a kernel and "make" it to get your CPU load up if you can't figure out any other way to set a higher load level. Use a CONCURRENCY_LEVEL equal to or greater than your number of CPU cores.
