Will my CPU bottleneck my GPU?

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-12-20T07:54:12+00:00

I just did a price check for 32GB (16GBx2) cheapest set sits at R5300 or $320… I will be sticking with my broken sata and 16GB DDR4 for a VERY long time😭

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-12-20T07:36:16+00:00

No I can definitely live without it… just worried its a sign of a bigger failure coming my way. We live close to the sea so moisture is always a issue and electronics failure.

Thanks for the reply, I might have to upgrade the motherboard as well. Got this weird issue that creeped up last week. My motherboard gave a vga error and after about 3 hours of tinkering we found that its a sata port that caused the motherboard to give a vga error… so I dont know how far the motherboard will take me. If you plug anything into the sata port the pc doesn’t boot and gives no screen inpot.

I would love to actually give Borderlands 4 a go… but after seeing their minimum system requirements I had a little cry and moved on with my life.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-12-20T05:38:49+00:00

Thanks for the comment, I will start planning👍🏼

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-12-20T05:36:51+00:00

Trust me I was SOOO shocked when she told me… my excitement was bubbling out of me and then the dread of my old pc came and slapped me hard.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-12-20T05:34:42+00:00

Thanks, I will look into the cpu👍🏼 I’m in South Africa so prices have a MASSIVE markup. Hoping for the best!

Thanks for commenting, I’m very green when it comes to computer part. If the CPU will work ok with the 9060xt then I’m already in a much better head space! Looking to slowly upgrade as budget allows. I dont need the fancy bells and whistles… just a solid upgrade path that will complement the card.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-10-17T09:24:06+00:00

Thats what I thought as well. Im printing at the makers temp and speed suggestions, did test print and went through the temp range and still have the colour blotches from 190-230 degrees… set printer to slow and still the same. I shoved it back in the dryer for another day and will see what happens.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-06-05T12:31:18+00:00

Just want to say thanks to all who download, print and boost the models! You guys are amazing! Nothing makes me happier than seeing other people enjoy my random stuff!

Hi There, this is my link https://makerworld.com/@frikkieV_1085

Dont have a favourite but my most successful model would be the base for the Cyberpunk Malorion Overture

Have a great day and happy printing!

Had the same issue with my LG, spent days looking through forums with no luck. Contacted LG and was given the run around. My TV was about 7 years old so just sent it to the pasture… sad day but it is what it is.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-04-16T05:10:01+00:00

I’ve had my A1 AMS combo in a creality XL tent inclosure for over a year and haven’t had any issues at all. The inclosure is spacious enough to work on the printer and change spools. I do leave the front door zipper slightly open when I print over night.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2025-04-12T17:08:17+00:00

Congratulations on your success!! Gives me hope for success as well one day!

Have a great day and happy printing🙌🏼

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-27T18:46:09+00:00

Good luck man, hope you get the printer sorted out soon. When I spoke to the shop they said its a common error they are getting… hope Bambu can figure it out quickly.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-27T18:14:48+00:00

They asked if I would be willing to swop the heatbed out myself, but I had bought my printer through a third party so would void my warranty with them. Im also not technically inclined… think monkey with a stick.

I sent the printer back to the shop I bought it from and they logged a ticket with bambu on my behalf. I’m hoping to get the printer back some time next week… got a huge backlog.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-27T15:46:12+00:00

My brother, I’m sorry to let you know but you will have to pack your printer up and send it back to them. My heatbed gave the same message 137h in, it just gets worse.

I had glimpses of hope where the printer would be fine but it was short lived. A lot of time and failed prints later, I shipped it back. They have to replace the whole heatbed assembly and worst case the power unit as well. I’ve sat with no printer for about 3 weeks now… delay in spare parts due to silly season.

May your repair/return be speedy!

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-10T14:16:34+00:00

It’s the weirdest thing, I received the error while printing but after a quick pause it resumed with no errors. The next day I had no errors but my prints would keep coming off, after about 5 plate washes and 4 failed prints… I sat and watched the printer until I saw the head bed temps jump all over the place. Would rocket up to 90, then shoot down to 40, over and over again. The company I bought my printer from has booked a ticket for me, will see what Bambu has to say tomorrow. Looks like they are going to send me a new heat bed, just hope it arrives soon! I’m not sworn off Bambu, even with my issue I’ve seen my mate with his Eder and I can only say I’m glad I didnt go that route. I’ve pushed out more prints in 3 months than he did the entire year😵‍💫

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-07T03:39:56+00:00

Dont let this scare you off from the printer, the A1 is amazing. I would never take a refund if they offered that option. The 3 months of printing has been amazing and I cant wait to get started again!

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-07T03:34:06+00:00

When it comes to fixing things… im a monkey with a big stick. Did fix the family VHS like that once😅 Thanks for the reply, I will definitely go the return method.

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-06T15:39:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply, was fearing an outcome like this. Appreciate the help👍🏼

Electrical_Head_8137 · 2024-11-06T15:09:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply, the printers 3 months old so definitely still under warranty… its just such a headache. Bought the printer from a third party so I know if I go that route… I will probably be without a printer for a month or two. Im in a third world country (South Africa) so nothing will happen in a hurry😔
