Thanks for any input
Funny u should ask as late last night I got my old MSI neo2 back up and running with a venice and I wonted the same as u as my main rig (see sig) I have 'CnQ' working a treat when overclocked using 'Crystalcpuid' and it works a real treat. declocking to CPU to a CPU multi of x4 with 1.0Vcpu and having a max of x11 1.45Vcpu and also a min setting too. keeps it cool when browsing and fires to life as soon as its needed.

so I treid to gwt it to work on the Neo2 and venice last night - but the AMD driver to allow CnQ doesnt work with the venice needs an opteron. I treid it and it locked up the system when crystalcpuid mulipler managment system was enabled and 'when I took off the AMD CnQ driver and then tried the crystalcpuid mulipler managment system I got a BSOD.

So options r as far as I can see are

1. upgrade to an opty
2. tuff

I would be interested if anyone else has an opty on this mobo and has some sort of CnQ working with an overclock as I might consider selling this Venice and getting an opty because the CnQ works so well on my main rig.

If u do have an opty and wish to try it - install the AMD driver for QnQ here

and CystalCpuid is here install the amd driver first but dont enable CnQ in the Bios then install CystalCPUID . I installed it to a directry in program files which I made and called it crystallCPUID and then plaed a shortcut in the startup dir modifing the command line option from "C:\CrystalCPUID\CrystalCPUID.exe" to "C:\CrystalCPUID\CrystalCPUID.exe" /CQ /HIDE as it shows here
 both bits of software r easy to instal and easy to remove so go on give that opty and try and let it cool between frags, u stand nothing to lose.

U can even set it to lock out on the MIn/mid and max muli on the fly by just click on an ion in the system tray. I have my opty to boot at a lower multi and volts and when it gets into windows cystalcpuid takes over and still gives u the full CPU muli range of the chip.

If anyone has CnQ working on an Venice I would be greatful myself to here about it
