cpu

So tried to Delid the CPU on my PS3 (CECHK01) because the temps were almost hitting 80º on the XMB alone (RSX always stable at 54º even when playing), but i got a hasty and used my tool before sanding it properly. As you may know this resulted in a lot of scratches, and now my PS3 got YLOD with...

Yesterday i was researching the best methods to safely delid since i have an overheating CECHC Cell CPU, came across this YouTube video by Carlos Bragatto, he uses a cutdown piece of aluminum beer can in order to cut through the Cell's IHS glue, according to him, the aluminum is sharp enough to...

I have had this tragic problem for at least a year, currently it has not been causing much of a problem to date. The problem comes when the console manages to boot, the HDD makes this horrible mechanical click and turns off again. I have tried removing the HDD and turning on the console and it...

Hi, I have a problem with my PS3 which I got for free. When connected to the power supply, the console shows a red LED, after pressing the switch it turns on for 2-3 seconds (the fan starts) and then turns off. The WiFi module was completely desoldered from the console by the previous owner...

Dear PSX Place Community, I have completely cleaned my PS3 Slim, replaced thermal paste etc. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the CPU temperature. Even while playing or after, the temperature of the CPU is 74-75°C, RSX is okay. Before cleaning idle temperatures: CPU 74°C RSX 65°C After...

Dead cpu? if so i want to replace it , that requires remarrying to the board. is it possible?

one question . ps3 fat may have a higher temperature by cfw or pro mod (rebug rex) because before installing cfw I played 30 minutes and there was no problem. after installing cfw in 5 minutes IN XMB OR GAME it has a temperature of 85 degrees That's why I'm asking because the ps3 turns off at 85...

Hello someone on reddit asked for a way to get the same info one cam get from webman without having to update ps3 from 3.55 which is their current version cfw and i said there was probably a windows program that could monitor the ps3 resorces via network can someone help? Need to know if such...

I redid the thermal paste on the CPU and RSX about a year ago, just wondering if my temps are okay. My CPU at idle at the XMB holds at 64C with the fan at 34%, while the RSX is at about 57C, in MGS3 in the MGS HD collection the temps are holding the same, in Motorstorm I get about 64C on CPU and...

Hi all This is my first time posting in the forum! As you can likely tell from my title, it's a very common topic, but one I can't seem to find a definitive answer to. I am hoping for a little guidance. I recently bought a refurbished CECHC03 backwards compatible PS3 from a reputable seller...

Hello Everyone! Today i decided to take apart my old PS3 to tinker with it a little. Wanted to try delliding both the GPU and The CPU, but during the delidding process i cut some traces on the CPU, killing it. Is there any way i could buy a identical CPU to the one on the board and solder it...

I had this PS3 Slim for one year and it was overheating ever since. I didn't have time nor the mood to disassemble it and do the usual stuff. I fixed it by taking the PS3 to the balcony where it was a nice and cool weather so the CPU wouldn't overheat but at in the summer it was just as bad...

So I just got a PS3 right when I got it I cleaned it up and changed the thermal paste then jailbroke it. I have the fan speed configured at 45% manual through webman. On the XMB The RSX would be at 49C-52C and the CPU at 50C-53C. Playing games the RSX would go up to 54C-56C and the CPU 54C-57C...

Hi guys! I just opened my next PS3 to apply new thermal paste, and the CPU lid was glued to the heatsink literally. Apparently the previous owner de-lid it. I assume the GFX-chip may also have been de-lid but didn't stick to the heatsink when removing it. So what I gonna do now? I think I will...

Hello I'd like some help and advice on a repair project I've been working on with this model PS3, I don't expect it's anything major though regardless I'd like to know exactly what is going on.I'm not asking for much and I don't feel up to modding the software, I simply would like to be able to...

I delited many ps3's up up now, all without trouble both rsx and cell. You all know it is essential or you WILL run in to YLOD with EVERY ps3 model, so because im a collector i want them for a long time working ;) But now I got my first super slim 400x for my collection. I tried to delit the...

Is there a way to get an OSD of CPU/GPU temp, fan speed, etc? I already know of Select+Start while on XMB but I'd like to know if there is one as an OSD notification or something for when I'm playing a game. Thanks.
