1A still means at least January 2011 though. That means it was made during or after the time that their silicon got better at overclocking and should follow suit, but clearly it didn't. You've said yourself that some of your January consoles overclock worse than others, which shows that not all...

At that point I'd almost wonder if it was a replacement console from Sony's repair center or something. Doesn't feel like a 1A should be able to have that chip in it. Which I guess brings up another risk when it comes to this stuff; case swaps could mislead you with the consoles overclocking...

Date codes aren't completely random though right? The number is year, the letter is quarter (at least that's how it works according to the psdevwiki). So, their console being a 1A means it's 1st quarter of 2011. All I'm saying is that the yield in chip manufacturing isn't perfect, so it's...

Sounds like your console is the same as my 2502B (0C), but one step above on the core. As already mentioned, it's just silicon lottery and there are no guarantees. The idea is that the later the console revision, the better the chances at having a high overclocking RSX; but that's all it is, a...

I had another look on the Wiki and it actually does seem to have its own page (can't post link because forum newbie), It's just not in the RSX table for some reason.

At the request of Mitsu, just wanted to pop in here and post my results from overclocking my 2502B (which has an apparently lesser known RSX revision of CXD5300DGB). Console seems happy at 700/1000 when playing Crysis (haven't tested anything else yet). Can't push the core any higher. Even...
