It doesnt effect them as they are not linked in any ways. They have their pretty own voltage and frequency references.

Hey everybody, i hope all of u had a merry christmas. i was continouing on my bga soldering and im feeling a bit like a fool. I thought about trying to reball a syscon chip as i dont waste so much solderballs when it fails. And there ive been confronted with the next problem: my solderballs are...

Thinking about 65nm from DIA Mainboard for the first try. Having a lot of donor boards with good rsx's. Dont want to waste a 40nm because im pretty sure this is not going well at first try. Thanks bro!

nah, im still waiting for my solderballs being shipped from china. this is probably taking 2-3 weeks. Hope the Mainboard survived, i saw the rsx spilling some solder out even though i didnt rush the temperatures. got a decent preheat time for 3 hours @ 120C. Mainboard looks fine so far, no...

Could get my hands on a 40nm this weekend. Chip was scaling very good so i ended up pretty quick with 900/950. seems a little weaker on vram than my 2004 but core was going crazy. However, i was busy messing around with reballing and preparing for my first frankenstein attempt. Hope this is...

Sorry, got some stuff to do so havent been online for a few days. I will throw a look at this address in a few days and let you know.

Only 5v_ever and 3.3v_ever is enabled in standby. All other rails will be switched on by syscon if you turn the system on, like felix said.

As i promised i threw an eye on my slim and i found the Cell VID address. it is in fact 0x50. First i took a look at the stock value, i expected it to be FF. and thats what i found. so i played around with some values, first i decided to feed it a low value i let it run for about 15...

Thats a valid point we should keep in mind. High Cell temps will always affect RSX and pull its temp higher due to dissipation over the mainboard. I remember having a console where cell was running over 80C (Thermalpaste not wearing), lowering it to ~65C at same fan speed did also lower RSX...

i do have some. i will take a look at one of them and see how it reacts. in sherwoods RSX is located at 0x51 so i will take a closer look at 0x50. the value should be FF. i was thinking wrong when i assumed Cell VID at 0x310E as i remebered that the value for stock VID is FF. i was concentrating...

Thats cool. this is doing so much in terms like reliability. maybe it will also help us with overclocking the cell one day. now we have to do the job on sherwood where it follows the same principle, i think.

that was my issue. Only Wii and Xbox360 is using the same ram.

yep, alright. got it now. that would be an alternative if its possible to pick other chips with higher bandwith by just reducing bandwith. didnt know thats possible. im not that familiar with ram, didnt mess around with it a lot in the past so i do have to learn many things about it. aint got...

that could be a good guess. i assume it to be in this area, too. if i got some time later i can do a little bit of research on a donor board. i'll let you know. edit: Im confident that we were right with our guesses. Cell VID seems to be at 0x310E. As i dont have my multimeter right here, i...

Very good work and research. are you really sure about 16bit channels on quad configuration? i did some research too and have read from an engineer that quad config also uses 32 bit. not sure how reliable this information is, but maybe thats a thing. at least it sounds doable. i expected it to...
