Overclocking Your Brain

[16TerrorBites]

Apparently, Foc.us developed a headset that  will "overclock your brain" using experimental stroke treatment technology. :/

Well that article is comforting haha

LMAO, this is crazy.

I thought sugar did that, RED BULL :)

That's Hyper-Threading :lol:

Nice, *finds a gallon of Red Bull*

 

Enough to make you hyper active for the rest of your life

Great now I'll have to upgrade my brain cooling to a custom loop.

Or stick your head in the freezer, I'm sure it'll work just as effectively :P

My brain runs under full load at 37 degrees C, no harm in over clocking the thing is there?

I remember an article of a guy that usead his watercooling components to help reduce the fever of his son so watercooling may be a good and practical solution.

Great, let's start strapping LN2 blocks on our heads...

Yeah that was just a joke though, not a real story :P

Stick it in some LN2, sounds pleasant :D

[M-ursu]

I do not have enough cooling for my brains. :)

I can already see Andre Yang pouring some liquid nitrogen in his brain and breaking some records.

Funny part is we're making fun of this technology when it's been around for quite a while, just not directed at gamers.

This is such a bad idea. Making neurons in the brain fire more frequently would cause the brain to deteriorate faster. When you overclock a CPU it's life span decreases the difference being that the brain is biological meaning that it can only operate within small temperature boundaries. Making the brain run hotter through running an electrical current through it has been used to treat people with brain diseases to relieve the associated side effects. Using this to improve brain activity will probably reduce the brains life span. I could be wrong though but I won't be using this when it comes out.

If you overclock it too much does it shorten the lifespan?

[Levent]

mine already overheats after long hours of intense programming

And all these years, I've just been licking 9 volt batteries to increase my productivity :)

I connected 6 of them together and put it on my tongue once...it hurt like hell!

Try that licking that set up ;)

I'm waiting for EK to come out with a nickel plexi brain block so I can add myself to the loop. 

[nightlitezzz]

Doesn't sound like a nice experience :S

[Kuzma]

I wonder if anyone will still try for passive cooling xD
