Imagining that we evolve cooling fins on our head for better heat dissipation. We already have the fluid circulation system after all.

Many of us have evolved a lack of hair on our heads, that's a first step right?
And the rest of us are capable of removing our hair (at least temporarily).
"Did you shave your head?" "Yeah, I have a big math exam coming up, so you know, I'm pulling out all the stops"
Sweating, especially on our head, is an adaptation like that that many mammals do not have but we do.
The scrotum can rise or fall based on the need for cooling. Can we concoct the genes that would allow our heads+brains to do the same ?

I think they sell a fancy cooling device using water cooling on NewEgg that solves that problem. It has some wild lights though.
Well, you did identify the major problem with the unlimited overclocking plan. Burning more energy generates more heat. An icepack on the side of your head doesn't solve the problem; at some point your brain (and the rest of the inside of your head) will cook, which is fatal.
