Its going on a gigabyte p35c-ds3r running stock at the moment but I believe you can overclock this CPU pretty good. Its my secondary rig running MacOS via EFI-X but I have an XP drive to test the OC. Also whats a bulletproof OC and temp range for these CPUs with some tips on BIOS config if poss. Its in a Lian Li V2000 so I can take a cooler as high as a TRUE but im not wanting to spend TRUE money. Thanks guys
 
I use the OCZ Vanquisher when I had my 2180, temps stayed under 34c and I overclocked it to 3.0 tops.

I didn't go higher because my board sucks 650i.

I'm pretty sure you can get one for under 25 bucks shipped.
 
Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro can frequently be had for under 25 shipped as well. Seeing at it keeps my Q6600 @ 3.6ghz at around 60 under load I'm pretty sure it could keep up with the 2180
 
I recommend the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. It isn't really dirt-cheap, but it's less expensive than any of the other high-end coolers and will cool down your chip very nicely. If you don't want to spend that much, then take a look at the HDT-S963, the OCZ Vendetta, or the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
