The most popular method is by adding an aftermarket CPU cooler. These replace the stock cooler and are able to dissapate more heat. They usually have increased surface area to help move heat away, along with larger fans to push air over the cooler. These do fairly well for moderate overclocks and are the cheapest option.

The most popular enthusiast method is by liquid cooling. This is considerably more expensive, complicated and usually requires regular maintenance. This pushes a liquid coolant through a series of tubes which pulls heat away from the components. This then goes through a radiator which dissipates the heat much like the first method of cooling. A pump is used to push the coolant though the tubes and a reservoir or T-line allows coolant to be added and stored.

Other methods include submersion cooling, phase-change units, and TEC cooling.

The most extreme method is liquid nitrogen cooling which can reach temperatures in the negative hundreds. This is only used during competitions and is not suitable for regular computing as liquid nitrogen needs to be poured constantly into a pot over the CPU.

I believe liquid helium is also used to achieve even lower temperatures
