What kinda of cooling solutions are people using for this overclock? I have
a copper HS and 4 case fans which is great ventilation/case cooling. But
what CPU cooling is good for this type of oc?

I've done that with two boards now, an A7N8X and an MSI K7N-Delta, and
in both cases the temp only rose by two or three degrees at most. Both
used two older Thermaltake Volcanoes. Nothing else had to be done, it
really was as simple as upping the FSB in the BIOS.
 
I have mine in a Chenming 601 AE case on an A7N8X-Deluxe rev 2.0, Barton
2500@200x11 on OCZ PC3200EL with a Thermaltake Volcano11 and 5 case fans..I
have only used Thermaltake so far and they work great..my other system is a
DFI AD77 Infinity running RAID 0 with a Barton 2500@185x11 on PC2700 in a
Chieftec Mini Dragon..4 case fans and a Thermaltake 6Cu+
 
thanks for the infos guys. Sounds like all the hoo-haa about it requiring
cryogenics is all rubbish.

Yeah I'm running eight 2500+ @ 3200+ with all different HSF. After
lots of testing I found the the retail heatsinks aren't bad at all. I
have 3 different variations that AMD ships with the 2500+ CPUs. All
you need is a fan with more than 30CFM air flow. I've put extra fans I
had laying around in place of the retail fan and the temps stay under
48C. With a Tornado 85CFM fan run at 7v, the CPU never goes above
38C. All these tests were with medium air flow in the case and room
temps of 72F.
