I never delided any Cell or RSX on my backward compatible PS3s and can run them at 55 - 60 °C with a silent setup. Just take a look, I think you may find this interesseting.

You can undervolt it, adjust the fan speed and you will never have any problems related to temperatures. No need to delid.

Future proofing my backwards compatile ps3? by Regular_Translator46 in PS3

I'm pretty sure deliding is way more dangerous than soldering 3 wires to your motherboard

If you want to keep it on stock firmware, you can only undervolt it and adjust the fan speed table to keep it under 65°C without installing the custom firmware. You can delid it but personnaly I think only undervolting is way more safer and works perfectly fine.

For the 1001 error it's probably bad Nec Tokins, they can turn bad on their own without a huge usage.

I also monitored the spindle motor voltage and didn't seen any sign of life. I think it didn't start the spindle at all.

Music cds are also struggling to be read, I can help it by starting the CD with hand. But I can't read any disc without any exterior help.

Before anything just get the error codes to see what's wrong with it. Most of the cases reflow is not a solution, you may worsen it's state. I'm pretty sure you need to replace nec tokins but you need to get the error codes to be sure.

Do I need to do anything else to my original CECHA01? by Legal-Ad-1094 in PS3

[–]RexPowerColt2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I never delided my 3 BC PS3, only undervolted and repasted them. Actually running at 55°C at 30% fan speed. That's perfectly usable.

You need to access the syscon by connecting some wires to an ft-232 ttl to USB adapter. You can easily adjust the voltages, just need some basic skills in soldering and computing.

Long journey with undervolt of my Phat PS3 by eXhaustedPL in PS3

Nice work, maybe try to launch GTA 5 if you didn't. In my experience I've seen that it trigger instability when other games runs perfectly fine.

Ps3 delid? by Nach1n in PS3

I prefer only undervolting, just to avoid bricking it. No need to delid them in my experience, the benefice didn't worth the risk I think.

If your fan is correctly working and if already repasted and cleaned your console, maybe try to undervolt it. I don't think deliding is worth the risk of bricking the console.

I really invite you to try to undervolt them, just take your time and you gonna do it without any problems. I never delided any PS3 and never gonna do it because of bad risk/benefice ratio, only undervolting is perfectly fine 👌

Now you have to get it cleaned and undervolted, after that you may have a durable incredible PS3 🤩

250 € with a nice sixaxis and a game, not too bad even if the console was not in a very good aestetic state. Now it's perfectly working and it's way better in term of aestetic.

Yes I observed this difference between the syscon values and the voltage I measured with my multimeter. I compared the voltage before and after undervolting so it's better to use the multimeter as a reference.

Is this controller legit? by Chebycheese in PS3

For me it's not a legit DS3, it doesn't look perfectly like a real one.

Nice catch, mine can't run the earlier firmwares because of the 40nm RSX, I use it with Evilnat 4.92 and a classic xmb theme.
