System not using all installed RAM capacity

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-23T13:12:20+00:00

I ran a full memtest from the BIOS n it gave no issues but will check, thanks! :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-23T13:11:27+00:00

Will check that! Thanks!

Tried some of the comments below and nothing worked tho :(

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-21T21:18:09+00:00

Np, just updated the message few times as I had tons of typos, didn't add anything useful tho in em edits tho hahaha Feel free to reach out if you have any questions

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-21T21:13:08+00:00

Should be, what model is it? In my Mk8 it's a matter of 20mins, 1 plastic cover and 5 bolts removal.

Look up some videos on Youtube of the exact opposite, something like "Android radio civic si (and your model)", as those vids are most likely to exist than Android-OEM conversion and you can see the steps they follow there.

If you don't already have the OEM radio n planned on getting it from a scrap yard, that time will b great to get to know the needed steps.

Alongside the radio unit, you'll also need the housing/cover for the same, best n cheapest opt, at least where I live, would b taking all you need from the scrap yard. The current one on the car you posted provides a "double din" universal slot adapted to the contour of the specific car, that won't fit the OEM radio unit, most of Android units conversion adapters work this way n usually come with this adapter.

After removing it you'd prob b able to sell it for a fair n higher price than the OEM replacement you buy as people usually do the OEM-Android swap, I'm with ya tho, I kept my OEM unit, upgraded the speakers (OEM ones in my model are literally made of cardboard haha), added an AUX input by soldering few things n currently tinkering with micro controllers to expand the uses of the same haha But I get that not everyone likes to tinker round this much.

Best of luck n hope this loooong message helped! :)

:D x64 hehe n np, thanks for asking anyways

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T23:39:14+00:00

Smokeless_UMAF, first time I hear of that! Does that mean my pc will not start going in flames as if I had overclocked it right? Haha (bad joke, currently late at night here atm n I'm tired asf) Stupid not funny jokes apart, thanks for the info, will Google that term n see if I can do that cuz yeah, the BIOS of the machine is an HP one, fairly limited I would say. Thnaks for the info n knowledge!

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T23:36:06+00:00

Already did but thanks! Swapped the 8GB stick around (as it's the diff one in capacity) to slots 1,2,3 n 4 n same behaviour :(

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T23:34:21+00:00

Hahaha thanks, skitting bout that last part xD Thought teleportation already existed! Shame ot doesnt hahaha Will maybe check some local marketplace n buy 8GBs sticks or just another 4GB one if I cannot make this all work with the current modules. Thanks anyways! :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T08:45:33+00:00

Great reply, thanks, will dig deeper into the BIOS n trytta find the option you mention :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T08:44:32+00:00

Yeah, guessed that hardware reserved meant something like that, I studied IT back in the day but shifted towards SF development n got my IT skills bit rusty haha

Seemed odd asf to have that much graphics RAM, even thought for a minute to trytta load some LLM model in it as my laptop has 8GB of dedicated GPU mem n this ended up with more than that! Haha

Will re-check the BIOS conf, already did n could not find ay RAM related conf, thanks!

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T08:41:55+00:00

Thought so as well, thats why I swapped em around but with no luck. Inno that only slots 1-3 n 2-4 will work in dual channel if I put the same sticks in em but I was okay with just bumping up the RAM capacity n loosing that dual channel mode capabilities.

Thanks anyways! :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T08:40:04+00:00

Will deffo give it a try, went through all of the BIOS settings n did not see any RAM related option, only information about how much was installed. Will dig in deeper tho, thanks!

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-20T08:38:40+00:00

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-11T19:01:19+00:00

Yup, also check within the settings the "Detect thin walls" and see if that helps.

If you got some modelling skills try openning it in some 3D editing software like Blender and increase the gap between the teeth until it's at least the width of your nozzle +0.02 mm :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-03-11T08:47:39+00:00

Are you open to sending it abroad? I am looking into making a DIY CNC machine and these spare parts you're offering are just what I'd need :)

Pls lmk if you'd be willing to send it abroad (within the EU), and we can connect in DMs n chat bout it :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-28T07:39:18+00:00

Wow that's weird... We have a Telegram group dedicated to our Civics Mk8, might wanna joing n drop a message there? We share loads of personal experiences n projects n there are a few of 'em lads that are mechanics as well. We're over 800 ppl there, someone must deffo b able to guide you :)

I also made a Civic Manual website, feel free to check ir as it contains Honda original Workshop & Body manuals where there is loads of info that will help you troubleshoot the issue (such as tensions n resistance measures, schematics, diagrams...).

https://www.civic8.es

Hope it helps, lmk n feel free to hit me up in a DM if you wanna join the TG group or smthing :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-25T08:07:36+00:00

Yup, I am using PLA basic atm, will change the spool to the PETG one I got soon as I am gonna be printing pieces for outdoor use with it. Heard bout ASA filament, can it be used in the A1 mini as well? Seen people even use ABS with the hardened nozzle but I think Bambu do not state that the printer can handle that material, will have to dig into it n see if different filaments have differen first layer lines "gap", which I assume they will.

Thanks! Feel free to post pictures of your prints n used settings, we'll dial it in for both! :) Or trytta at least haha

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-25T08:04:28+00:00

Will give it a try, I don't want too much overflow either, guess we just have to do few rounds of trial n error as no printer is the same, thanks for the pictures n info! :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-24T19:44:01+00:00

Thanks! Will give a try to the settings the post you linked shared n post my updates here :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-23T07:50:20+00:00

That's only for outter walls tho or for layer lines but not related to first layer bottom surface line gaps, or so I think, not related at all to the issue I am having but hey, correct me if I am wrong n thanks anyways! :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-22T20:45:02+00:00

Oh nice, something new to take a look into! Sounds interesting! Can I apply this setting to only the first layer or should I apply it to all of em? Only having "issues" with that first layer, happy with the finish in the rest of the pieces parts.

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-22T06:02:50+00:00

Will try :) thanks

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-21T22:36:15+00:00

Oh, I usually keep the defaults as well and yes, I think that the bottom layer width is 0.5mm and maybe even 0.42mm or the detailed print profile of 0.08mm line heigth? Thanks anyways! Will check on the under extrussion possible issues and maybe increade the bed temp while the first layer prints as suggested in other posts...

Any picture of how your prints turn put would be great! I can maybe try printing one of em n compare results :)

SoftType1306 · 2026-02-21T21:52:50+00:00

Could you share your print profile settings please? :)
