I need to overclock my brain without damaging it.

With the recent release of Sandybridge processors and their awesome overclocking abilities, I've thinking about the fact that there is an even more powerful processor in my possession: My brain.

So of course, I've been doing some research on the best ways to overclock my own brain without actually damaging it. Now, I know that my brain doesn't work in the same way a computer processor does, so using the term "overclock" is technically not accurate. All I want is to increase my brain's performance without causing any damage, since my brain's warranty expired the moment it was created.

I was thinking of ways to increase the rate at which my brain processes information, but if I increase this rate too much, I will probably also need to increase the flow of blood to the brain, so I need to find ways to increase bloodflow as well.

Does anyone know any tips on achieving superior performance out of a biological brain? Also, what kind of stress test will I need to verify my brain's stability after overclocking?
 
Overclocking is limited by the capabilities of the original hardware. No matter how much voltage you pump through it a 486/25 is not going to outperform a Sandybridge. I suggest you take a good, honest look at the severe deficiencies of your current brain and you'll see the need for a complete upgrade. An overclock just isn't going to cut it.
 
You may need one of these for cooling:

if you really want to overclock a lot, this may be your best bet

Eat a balanced diet rich in omega 3, get plenty of sleep, and exercise both body and brain. Other solutions are like overclocking a cpu without a good cooler.
 
Hire an asian kid to be your side kick and remember things for you. It's could be like adding a bigger hard drive.

edit* this may have the side effect of creeping people out though.

My computer doesn't use mundane things such as RAM or video cards.

My hard drive is composed of a thousand Chinese students hand picked from the best of the best of universities. They spend their days chained to a desk where all they are given is a nutrient mixture mixed with some anti depressants, dopamine, and a stimulant given through a feeding tube. They memorize 0's and 1's all day and every time I need a file, they regurgitate it to my video card.

My video card is made up of 100,000,000 Koreans who all hold a book of colors. They receive information from my hard drive and flip to a corresponding color to display it on my screen. With training they can manage a response time of 10 hz. I've played crysis on such a system, and while replacing the ones who collapse of exhaustion is quite expensive, it is still a good experience to have.
 
doesnt overclocking reduce the lifespan of CPUS? if you are using that as your analogy, why would you expect different results from your brain?
