Your CPU multiplier is at 5. Bump it up to 11 to run at the stock speed.

bios?

 

[JohnAn2112]

Yep. Go into the Cell Menu and disable Cool n Quiet and bump the CPU multiplier to 11.

Almost forgot, make sure you set your CPU VID at 1.40v (I believe that's what it is for Venice, I know it is for Winchester ), as you aren't gonna be able to boot (and if it does, its gonna be VERY unstable) at 1.0v.

I'd try loading the CPU to 100% (using prime95/superpi) and then checking your clockspeed. If it increases, you're just running cool and quiet. I'd just leave it on, but that's just me.

I did that...
in BIOS it shows up as 2.2 ghz, but in windows it shows up at 1ghz

what could be doing this?
cool n quiet is disabled, voltage appears to be 1.4V, but its 1 in windows
>_<

Are you running the latest BIOS?

I believe venice support was added later for early MSI Nforce 4 boards.

Update bios.

Also, install the latest A64 driver.

 

[Markfw]

maybe cool & quiet is enabled. I thought it was 800, but maybe they changed it to 1000

Got the same board, had the same problem. Bios issue, everything from 1.4 on gave me this problem.
I dont know if 1.3 supports the venice. Before i figured out what was going on i fixed it using rm cpuclock utility to set the multi.
Great little prog if you want to oc and still have cool'n quiet like functionality.

thats how it looks...
i swear cool n quiet is off in the bios..

how can i get it up to 2.2 ghz like its supposed to be?

heres the bios info:
OEM signon:W7125NMS V1.5 060305 09:12:12
chipset: AMD 1100 rev 0
type: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG

Bios 1.6 fixes this problem, for me atleast. Just tried it and all is well. 1.4 and 1.5 didnt overclock well either, this one gives me the same results as 1.3.

Three people had this exact problem with venices on MSI boards. Simply flash your bios and everything will be solved.
