Overclocking AMD's A8-3850 Llano APU

Previously we ran the full review of AMD’s Lynx desktop chip, the A8-3850 , which is their Llano architecture for desktops. In that review, regrettably, I was not able to explore overclocking this platform. Thankfully, after a bit more time, that has been remedied .

Overclocking Llano isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it’s not too difficult. Very few voltages need adjusting, but it isn’t without its quirks. This is no unlocked multiplier, insanely easy ‘raise multi, raise voltage, repeat ad nauseam until your cooling gives out’ adventure. Rather, it’s a more delicate process that involves a bit of tinkering. In other words – actual overclocking! That’s not to say I don’t enjoy Black Edition or (Intel) K-series CPUs. It’s just different, and tweaking is always fun for an overclocker.

First, let’s start by discussing what you’re doing when you overlcock Llano. To overclock this CPU, you have to use the base clock. There is no other choice. Neither the CPU nor the GPU have unlocked multipliers. Thus, even if your BIOS allows higher multipliers (in this case, it can go up to 47x; the setting will dutifully report in software via Windows too), you can’t overclock that way.

Same goes for the GPU. If your BIOS allows you to manually raise the GPU frequency, ignore it. You can’t do that either.

Which brings us back to the base clock. Unfortunately, as with Intel’s Sandy Bridge, overclocking the base clock can lead to issues. Because the traditional northbridge functions lie on the APU, overclocking the base clock also overclocks everything else. Everything – including storage.So if you start at the wrong frequency, it may not boot up, giving you a "can not find boot device 'error because the storage bus is overclocked too far.

Fortunately, this is not the end of the road. Some tips to do it automatically and some do it manually, but most boards (I say most because I have no evidence to say all) will give you a storage bus divider et al. The Gigabyte A75M-UD2H (also featured in the first A8-3850 revision) does it automatically. Unfortunately, there is no manual option. Said strokes of the clock divider to 133 MHz bus. For overclocking, it would be preferable to have a storage bus lock option.

As mentioned before, the IGP is locked down at 6x (stock = 100 MHz base clock x6 = 600 MHz IGP). When you raise the base clock, it raises the IGP frequency x6 (unless you drop that multiplier, but we’re not going there with this article). So, even if you get stuck at the spot where the storage bus divider kicks down, that’s 133 MHz x 6, for a 798 MHz IGP frequency. I can tell you now, most A8-3850s should run that speed, which is fully a third higher than the stock IGP frequency. Told you this was a strong APU, didn’t we?

Fixing “Memory Allocation Error” : Quick PC errors fixer

A message "Out of Memory" error when running DBCC occurs when the primary process makes DBCC control over large databases and uses CPU (Central Processing Unit) massively. Another cause of this error may be the corruption of SQL Server database for reasons of physical or logical. While the first issue can be resolved by increasing the memory space, it needs a proper database backup. The backup to restore the data and continue with your database operations.However, if the database backup is not available, then you must use the effective implementation of SQL Database Repair who can repair the databases.

To illustrate the above case, consider the error message:

"Memory allocation error during DBCC processing."

After the error message above appears, SQL Server stops working, resulting in the inaccessibility of all records in the database.

Cause

The error message above appears only when the server runs out of memory. The error message appears when a buffer from buffer pool can not be stolen for use as bitmap, by coverage bitmap for non clustered index.

The above scenario occurs when the database is corrupted.

Note: Corruption in SQL Server database can either occur due to logical or physical reason.

Resolution

Follow the below mentioned guidelines to repair your database and to access your records:

For examining if the error was caused due to physical damage, you need to firstly run the hardware diagnostics and also check the operating system, application logs, and SQL Server logs. To isolate the problem caused due to hardware malfunction, swap the damaged hardware component with a new component.

For logical damages, you will need to initially determine the extent of damage by running DBCC CHECKDB command without any repair clause. Next, run the DBCC CHECKDB command with a suitable repair clause (as recommended by DBCC CHECKDB) to repair logically corrupted database.

The second resolution may have adverse effect or even delete database records, a better option is to use an effective third-party ms sql repair application. A SQL Repair tool ensures comprehensive repair of corrupt SQL Server database, without any loss of database records. The tool does not harm the original data saved in the database, making it a completely non-destructive application.

SQL Recovery repairs corrupt MS SQL Server without deleting or modifying the original database records. Compatible with SQL Server 2008, 20005, and 2000, the sql database repair software is built with highly interactive user-interface that makes it easy to understand. It supports Windows 7, Vista, 2008, XP, 2003, and 2000.
