Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme with a Scythe S-Flex SFF21F fan Perhaps the best option, however, would be to underclock and undervolt (or use RMclock to manually limit how high it will ramp) during the hot summer months.
I use water to keep my G0-stepping C2Q6600 at 3.6GHz cool, and an Ultra 120 (non extreme version) to keep my B3-stepping C2Q6600 at 2.8GHz cool (downclocked from the 3.2 I ran when it was on water). Those chips are probably close to or over the 130w your X2 6400 puts out.
