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

Can use games red dead redemption or the last of us instead of crysis HD?
You can. But crysis is very sensitive to overclock so it's the best game to test OC in. If it's fully stable in crysis with zero artifacts, crashing or freezing after an hour. Then you'll be stable in every other game. Crysis was the most demanding game on the planet at that point. So it stressed GPUs hard.

Crysis HD is the first crysis. That's the one you should get. You can get it from the PKGi app. It's called Crysis HD. It's just the 1st crysis. If you don't know what PKGi is type on YouTube PKGi PS3 tutorial.
 
2c on sonic could be Margin of error. Ambient temps. Or load depending on the direction you are looking and rendering. The metal gear, is a measly 2 or 3c and only cause it's pushing the 60 mark. So yes temps can go up there. But games that are capped to 30 or 60 won't increase at all. The OC doesn't increase temps, it's the frames it pushes if the gains are much higher. And again, 2 to 3 is Margin of error. Ambient temps need to remain the same. And test needs to be done identical to the last. Plus time is a factor. Longevity of the test. I've done weeks of testing. Across all my PS3s. Making sure there wasn't any errors in my testing so I can say, Overclocking does no real damage or temp increases. Higher pushed frames is a higher load. Which the stock underclocked chips didn't do. A 2c to 3c on average temp increase depending on the game that has higher framerate target wouldn't do a damn thing to the PS3s longevity. Most games on PS3 are all capped to 30. More than anything, an increase in resolution would make the temps go higher. But also higher framerates rendered puts more stress on uncapped games. Outside of bioshock, no other game can break the 60 mark. And I'm guessing that was an error on 2ks part by not capping the frames to 60.
I think that an overclock does increase temperature because it'll increase current. The current increases because the overclock is forcing the transistors to turn on and off more times per second.

Thanks Tanzu and i know pkgi,pkg or iso and game folders

Test 800/900 first, and if it's perfectly stable, then try 850. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Great Advice Brother Mitsu my ps3 is running on 850/900 mhz safely but when i use webMAN with it. its give high temperature warning and without webMAN is working flawless thanks for your advice.i want to know that my ps3 will be support 900/900 mhz ?

You can only know this by testing.
You should absolutely keep WebmanMod btw, if it tell you that your console is overheating, then adjust your fan settings. WebmanMod is not the issue here.
Your console is still overheating without it, you're just not alerted.

okay If the GPU and VRAM same Megahetz then will there be any problem in Ps3?

It's generally better to keep the VRAM higher than the core, to keep a certain balance, to avoid possible bottlenecking. That said, it shouldn't be problematic here I suppose.

If you want for example to stick to the original ratio :
500/650 : 650÷500 = 1,3.
So for example, for 900MHz core : 900x1,3 = 1170. So, if we want to keep this ratio, 900/1175 would be good.
BUT seriously, 1175MHz VRAM is impossible for 99% of our consoles ^^' Even 1000MHz is risky.
I don't think that keeping a similar ratio matter at all anyway.
Just try to have a margin between Core/VRAM, to be sure.
So 900/950, or even 900/975MHz.
Ultimately, you need to test it thoroughly and search for any eventual issues.

So i think that 850/900 is good enough for my ps3 and one more think what is the ps3 model number of yours which supported 800/1000 mhz?as you shown in your previous pics?

Mine is a 2504A, date code 0D. RSX revision : "CXD5300CGB" (a little less perfected RSX revision compared to "GGB".)
Now I've chosen to keep it at 700/850.
 
i have GGB so my ps3 is better than yours ?
Exactly ! It has some more room for OCing the core.

I have a 2501a with a November 2010 manufacture date, what would be the highest safe clock for it?
Without knowing your RSX revision, we can't tell.
That said, 700/900 is guaranteed to work.
It's a safe and good (sufficient) OC.
The hugest gains are up to 700-750MHz core and 800-850MHz VRAM anyway. So 700/850 is a wise choice.
It's your right to push it further, it depends on the risks you are willing to take on the short and long run.
If so, test it thoroughly, 50MHz by 50MHz for the core, 25MHz by 25MHz for VRAM.

If you still have the dump you made when jailbreaking it and know how to use your E3 flasher, then you should be able to restore it.
875MHz core is not possible.
Ok and i know very well how to use e3 flasher bro.900/950 what you think i will work or not? whats your mathematics says?

We can't be 100% sure that your console will support 900MHz, but this frequency instantly "killing" a GGB RSX is unlikely. At worst, if you're unlucky, you'll notice instabilities in game, like freezing or artifacts, etc...
It's up to you to decide if you're ready to try it.

I am very happy to inform you that I have successfully installed 900/950 in my PS3 Mitsu Brother:adoration:
