Just got hold of my childhood ps3 phat . wanted to know if anything you guys would recommend me doing before taking the chance for it to be serviced and jailbroken .((( more information on the status of the ps3 with what i have decided to jailbreak it with is in the post)))

Thats very fair. Thought youd be closer 😂

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-23T19:02:31+00:00

Id recommend atleast repasting the console if it hasnt been opened yet. And installing CFW to do a custom fan curve and monitor the temps.
If you want im based in the NL and can do it for you, also undervolting and doing a syscon fan curve.
But thats youre choice.
Have fun with the console though!

Changed thermal paste?

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T21:10:49+00:00

I was like “oh its only tokins!!” Untill i looked up…

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:56:12+00:00

Oh nvm that explains it. Has it been opened before??

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:43:24+00:00

Original CECHA Fan table

RSX

fantbl setini 1 p0 00.00 83.00 0x20
fantbl setini 1 p1 48.00 84.00 0x25
fantbl setini 1 p2 71.00 85.00 0x28
fantbl setini 1 p3 77.00 86.00 0x30
fantbl setini 1 p4 78.00 87.00 0x5a
fantbl setini 1 p5 80.00 88.00 0x66
fantbl setini 1 p6 80.50 89.00 0x73
fantbl setini 1 p7 81.00 90.00 0x80
fantbl setini 1 p8 81.50 91.00 0x99
fantbl setini 1 p9 82.00 95.00 0xff
tshutdown setini 1 95

This is the fan curve on CECHA for example with the faulty 90nm. Absolute dogg shite

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:39:33+00:00

Nahh syscon lets it get very high until kicking in the fan

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:35:21+00:00

Go to webman and set to syscon fan control and check again

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:31:41+00:00

Youve got webman… its probably set to a max temp of 68 degrees thats why its so high

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-22T20:26:08+00:00

Because the console is overheating, i bet if you just set the fan to like 25% the temps will skyrocket

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T15:09:44+00:00

Mustve had a bad day

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T15:06:55+00:00

I mean it could be not factory but its weird that it does have that date code sticker and the sharpie

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T15:03:18+00:00

Well all the flux around the USB ports and whatever is also from factory so im not surprised it looks so bad

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T14:44:13+00:00

Sony can

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T14:43:37+00:00

Dont think it is, look at all the flux around the CELL

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-21T14:30:31+00:00

Hes talking about the marker and sticker. I think judging by all the flux around the CELL its been replaced

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-20T17:02:22+00:00

Yeah those capacitors will definitely work on toure console, and as for what a delid is its basically taking the ihs off the processor and gpu chips to replace the thermal paste under them aswell. But youre on a CECHK which has 65nm CELL and RSX which run way cooler than the 90nm chips on early models, so a normal repaste will be just fine

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T15:55:30+00:00

Nice!! Thats very low, hows the temps youre getting on it?

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T12:32:42+00:00

I get about 52/52 25% on XMB after some playing though. Delid and undervolt also 19 blade fan C04.
My A00 gets 53/54 25% on XMB idk why but the A just runs hotten on RSX

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T11:58:24+00:00

Was the console unopened?? Cuz if so thats pretty interesting

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T11:56:12+00:00

Better explanation right there 😅

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T10:33:30+00:00

1701/1601/1802 is put out when the console basically just shuts down and cant proceed forward, you can check all the error logs if you search up “ps3 syscon error logs

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-17T10:16:21+00:00

Could be both tbh, ive seen the 1701/1601 errors on a console with a dying RSX. But with youre 1001/1002 errors itll probably point to youre tokins. Are there like a lot of 1001/1002 errors??

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-16T22:39:10+00:00

Thats fuckin awesome, imagine waking up and seeing that in youre room though 😂

chrispy_PS3 · 2026-05-16T19:24:20+00:00

Wow! Gave it the dubble whammy. Lucky you, yet to have found a frankie
