No. Think of it as trying to run a 4 cylinder engine as high as a 8 cylinder engine. Even though you are keeping it cool it just wont be able to keep up with the 8 cylinder engine.

Think about it in this way. You bought a 75 watt light bulb and you want it to be as bright as the 200 watt light bulb. I believe the 75 watt light bulb has its own limit. Let say 100 watts. If you go beyond the 100 watts, it will burn out no matter how cool you keep it running, it will still burn out cause the circuit can't handle that much electricity floating in itself.
