PS3 Project RSX Boost: Overclock your Retail PS3 RSX Speeds (ps3 cfw only)

I'll try my e01 frankie. It does 800/950 fairly stable. I notice a random white texture every 15 mins or so. It did 850 core with minor issues. So my test is to see if a small boost to core can stabilize 850. If so proof of concept and perhaps I'll go further.

I'd be testing along side you if you gave me the way to add more voltage to my 850 console. It's my favorite pass time too. Hope you can hook me up with a pup that is 900 with voltage pumped into it. I'll get to testing ASAP. Oh and the vram has to be 975. It's the most stable vram frequency. So a 900/975 beta 9 with core voltage up. Definitely want to test temperatures too.
 
Yup one of my PS3s can already do 950 without any extra voltage. I'll be able to 1ghz it easy with the extra voltage. Glad you were able to find the tables for slims. But do you think an 850 fully stable PS3 can jump to 1ghz core with the voltage tables we have? Cause I can easily sell you one of the 850 core ones. It's interesting cause the 850 core can do 900 as long as it's 55c or below. Meaning it needs more voltage. But if the current voltage tables you discovered can add enough, I think 1ghz is easy to do then. At least for PS3s that can do 850 or higher by default fully stable. PS3s that can only do 700, 750 or 800 Max stable, will not be able to do 950 or 1000 stable. At least I don't think so since that would require crazy amounts of cooling and voltage.
Hmm, I wonder now what those crazy overclockers could do with liquid nitrogen and a January 2011 25xx!

Start here in preparation. You need UART access.

Ok not gonna lie. I have no idea what any of that means or is. I'm way too retarded for this. Like seriously I don't know anything about anything about what I just read. I'm a normal user. I know the basic of basic. Usb in pup update and that's it. I have no clue what any of this means or works. Will this all involve modifying pups? Couldn't this be easily implemented in the cfw builder program where I create the OC profile pups?

So, we can manipulate Vcore. How about Vmem?

Felix already did, but it doesn't help and it makes it run way hotter so mem core is unsafe to tamper with. Which actually makes me happy cause mem is what fails the fastest and can cause bricks. Core is more flexible. And still adds performance.

I've read the syscon of my dead CECHL before, it's far more simple than it looks at first.
In short, just get a UART reader (they're simple and inexpensive), solder 4 wires to the PS3 board and connect them to the corresponding pins on the UART reader, plug that into ur PC, make sure it's recognised by Windows, if not then install a driver. Then use the program mentioned in the guide to read the syscon, I haven't written to it before but I'm sure it's similar.

Likely can get like 1100 core.
Imagine TLOU at 60fps lol

I guess that we will need modify the archives of the game, because this run in 30 fps in most scenes then when we transitioning to another scene that not maintaining the actually fps state, then will go back to 30 fps

nah I ain't doing any of that sh!t. If this isn't as simple as a pup file modifying like the OCs, I'll pass.

Of course, suit yourself! Would also prefer if it could just be done via an update of course, but if it isn't possible that's not the end of the world for me.

Yes, well others would know better how possible that is, if not, then at least there's plenty of unlocked FPS games for us to test.

Side note, I have 21xx PS3, how easy is it to delid the RSX (and Cell too), I've heard that certain Slims have their IHS attached differently making delidding much more painful.

Im just curious what is the runtime for your console that does the highest clock yet.

I believe the runtime of the system does help a lot especially of its low runtime.

You can check the runtime on webman mode setup settings.

I dont think so

i'm runnnig 900/1200, it's more about the voltage @RIP-Felix was able to identify the voltage in the RSX string

Hi I m accidentally update firmware 800 900 OverClocked in my ps3 cech 2008B now my is not updating any Firmware lagg in safe mode what shoud i do bro?

I can try this out. I have a CP2102 at home if that's sufficient, looks like it is. I can try this with my 2nd PS3 Slim (25xx) which already can do 850.
Just let me know what needs to be done (besides soldering instructions in that video), and I'd be happy to guinea pig. But this will be my first time interacting with SYSCON, so a little detail would be appreciated.

Accidentally ? Hmm...
800/900 on a 20XX is madness.
Anyway, if you can access safe mode (even if it's laggy if I understand correctly), try to cool down your PS3 by all means (fridge, external fan, remove the upper shell, etc...) and retry to update.
You're already lucky that it can boot into safe mode.
