Simply, in this case, instead of excessive heat causing the problem it is excessive power draw, supposedly.
Actually it doesn't matter how you call that (power virus, electrical microbe or whatever) - such type of software should not cause for hardware malfunction when proper cooling is used. Moreover such type of software was released, for example, by Intel to test cooling solution of CPUs (LINPACK, BurnTest e.t.c)
