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

[Tanzu15]

Ok so i unboxed my brand new sealed December 2010 2501B 320GB, and tested 750/950 and it was flawless. Then I proceeded for the moment of truth. And did 800/900. And holy shit finally no artifacting in crysis. Fully stable. I replaced the thermal paste with mx6 and replaced cmos. And it's running cpu 55c and gpu 58c max. I won the lottery but had to unbox my pride and joy.

In the US the manufacture date is at the bottom of the PS3. In the US we don't get codes. Just straight up month and year.

Well it's a European model so i can only tell you it's 0B

Yeah I guess region will vary. I still have yet to find a January model thats CFW compatible in the states. Though my brand new one I just unboxed, was December 2010. And I won the lottery. 800/950 rock solid stable. Zero artifacts in crysis. That's the one game that will instantly tell you if your OC isn't stable. You practically don't need to test other games. Only crysis to see if your OC is stable. I noticed when crysis was stable every other game was rock solid stable. That means there's a chance I can do 850/1000.

Update

850/1000 no artifacts and finally 60fps on GOw Ascention, that's insane... from 38 fps on stock to 60 fps

Anyone tried these higher OC FW's on frankies yet? or dont they work

Bro what? 850/1000??? Bro did you actually boot up crysis and check if there's zero artifacts? Cause my 2501B from December of 2010 is doing 800/950 with zero issues and zero effort. Does that mean the likely hood of me doing 850/1000 too is high?

RSX might overclock decently but the memory is a different story. Overclocking frankies is a whole different ball game.

No artifacts at all

@JoeSapecudo is running it too, without any issue.

So he's running it too at 850/1000? So are there any signs you shouldn't OC more? Like if for example. I see zero issues at 800/950, would it be ok to try 850? What was your method of testing and avoiding bricks?

 

[PostalDude__]

Gonna try the higher OC's on my J model, its 65NM on the RSX. So lets see...

We are just installing and praying to work ahhaa as long we don't see any artifact we'll keep increasing

He is flashing 900 core now

65nm will only work at 700 core/800 memory

More than that the NEC/Tokins will fail to provide power

Increasing more than 800 Mhz for the memory will brick it (you'll need to restore the nand/nor using a HW flashsr)

Which one is more likely to cause bricks? Memory or core? And Jesus Christ 900?????? What? Is he still not seeing instability at 850/1000? My lord. Fastest PS3 on the planet coming soon.

I already know that my cech 2501a November 2010 is stable at 750-950

Can I go one step further, what other overclocking can I do?

When replacing the NEC/Tokins with Tantalizer from RIP-Felix for example on a Cech-2004B Slim would it be possible to add more OC on the 65nm Rsx ? Maybe we should test it ?

Maybe 800/1000

F%$# I need help guys. The 1000 memory caused this. It gets stuck. What can I do??‍‍

RSX broke?

 

[Tanzu15]

RSX broke?

Damn it. Yes. I'm so passed right now. Like why do I do. I'm able to move for a few moments then it freezes. There's has to be a way to revert this.

As we can see in our results here, Haxxen and Mitsu bricked their systems increasing the memory

Core is mostly like to show artifacts
Memory is mostly like to brick the system.

And yeap no instability on both of our systems.

Did you see me picture and result of 1000. It fucked up my PS3. What can I do now to recover it?

Damn :/

Try to hit fast to update the system and see if you can

1000 memory is just for CECH-2511X

I keep trying but eventually freezes. If I can't get this to work. What's my options here. I really need help. I'm freaking out. There has to be a way to flash this.

Wait wouldn't swapping out hard drives work?
