Got my new MT-30 0543XPMW from eBay for $100 two days ago.
I gonna use it for my HTPC/internet rig, but just thought to give it a quickie clock and test before all my parts arrive.

Here is what i used and below are my results.

The MT-30 1.6GHz (200x8), 1MB L2 Cache, stock 1.2v, with Arctic Silver 5



3 year-old Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu @ 1350RPM


Your lapping doesn't stand near mine

DFI LanParty UT nF3 250Gb, official BIOS 23/6 with PowerNow! disabled, chipset cooled by passive Zalman NB32J heatsink.

And the rest: borrowed Corsair 512MB BH-5 stick, Antec TruePower 480Watt PSU...

I started with stock 200MHz bus / stock 1.2v vCore, testing with SP2004 for stability every 25MHz bus increasements.
And i ended up with 2600MHz (325MHz x 8, 2/3 divider) clock, still using only stock 1.2v vCore! The temps were real sweet, under SP2004 load i never exceeded 42C with Zalman 7000A-Cu @ lowest RPM.
Here are the screenshots and pictures after 3 hours SP2004 Small FFTs run:



My idle temps were 34-35C, while my ambient was ~30C.
I noticed that my board overvolts to ~1.215v under load, and undervolts to ~1.18v at idle.

I was able to boot at 3200MHz (400MHz(!) x 8), using 1/2 divider, however the system was extremely unstable - i couldn't even load CPU-Z to take a suicide screenshot. That would be a 100% overclock for me..
I gave up the idea very quickly, cause of the uncomfortable 1.6v vCore i had to use to get there..

I was able to score 3000MHz (375MHz x 8) pretty easy, using 1.450v vCore:

Although i could run SuperPI 1MB, SP2004 crashed instantly. Still a WR for Turion AFAIK, and from the x8 multiplier CPU

More to come when my water-cooling and rest of the hardware arrive...
It was an easy ride for me thus far

Great stuff Thinking of getting a ML-30 to play around with. Would be pretty intresting to do so.

What did you get in super pi 1m? Got some 3D Mark scores?
