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

Mitsu™ said:
Only a few PS3 will be able to be stable at 950MHz core and your PS3 isn't. Forget about this frequency.
Even with the best thermal paste possible, it won't allow your PS3 to magically support unstable frequencies.
It's freezing due to the temps, indicating that you're pushing your console to its limits.
It's 100% pointless to keep it that high, unless you manage to keep it cool as ice (water cooling, etc...)
But even then, is it worth it... ?

Yes you are right brother
Can I overclock my ps3 with 4.80 or 4.81 old firmwares?

Of course, why not. I don't really see the advantages of this, but do as you like ! :)

2504B here running Evilnat 4.91.2 PEX with 600/750 OC, wanted to chime in, see if anyone has similar experience

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (both release version and when updated to spec III) apparently doesn't like this OC because it hangs, most often at loading screen or when it just fades out of it. When it hangs, it will just cycle parts of frame it last managed to render and output every 2-3 seconds (e.g fps overlay then loading screen leaderboard and back or similar combo). Curiously it looks like games goes on because at one point when I've waited a bit I could hear the game loaded, just that output was shot.

I've played Crysis HD for around an hour (played from start of campaign until you find frozen boat) causing explosions, getting into firefights, generally trying to put stress on the PS3 and I didn't notice any sings of instability or artifacts, neither I could notice anything in Killzone HD/2, Wipeout HD and few others so it looks like its a GT5P problem?

I can't verify it myself, but since GT HD Concept crash even at 600/750, it seems plausible to me.

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.

Can I unbrick console with dump I made after cfw? or I need original one only

Did you check syscon? I have 2504b with dying rsx(((

I'm really not sure about this, so I won't affirm anything.

I've found this post, though :

Partial bricks can be recovered from on all nor/nand ps3 consoles using a hardware flasher.

You can either

1. flash a valid dump made before the partial brick.

2. flash a dump made with the hardware flasher after you fix & validate it.
Ps3xploit Flash Writer only writes to ros0 & ros1 so you can fix your hardware flasher dump by patching it with ofw CoreOS to replace both ros regions with valid 4.82 CoreOS data & the fixed dump should then validate successfully.

If the console was fully functional at the moment of dumping the flash, it should work without problems, counting on no hardware damage is involved.
Once its restored, I'd recommend to reinstall a normal (non-OC) CFW from recovery.
 
Hi all, im currently trying to catch up on the forum and stumbled upon this as a max limit for 21xxx. Is this reliable to take in consideration as a limit ?
CECH-210X650/800 Mhz
I managed to grab a 2104B for cheap and will give overclock a go sometime soon.
thanks

maybe try to install de CEX OC version of it, i remember that when i used to have installed 4.84 rex that one used to take an additional amount of memory of the PS3 and some of the games got to be freezed at some point, so i switch back to CEX version and it was good to go, i have a 2101B slim model just in case
 
I've been noticing a few disturbing trends on this thread.

  1. asking whats a "safe" OC for their model.
  2. asking to have OC FW spoon-fed to you
First, there is no "safe" overclock. The closest thing is the 600/750. Start there and increment up slowly, being careful to looks for signs of instability. If we said, 650/900 is "safe" for most 40nm GPUs, that might work 9/10 times, but that one person will be SOL and kicking themselves for not taking a more cautious approach.

If you are not willing to be cautious and are looking for a quick "safe" OC to boost performance, stick with the 600/750. If you go higher, prepare for it.

In order to do that you will need the FW, which you can build yourself using MFW builder. You can learn how here, by sesrching and reading the thread.

I understand the desire to simply ask, but consider that we have to find the post to direct you to. You are shifting the burden of searching onto someone else. Asking them to upload a FW for you, when it may have been uploaded already, or you could generate it yourself for any OC combination you like.

Overclocking is experimental and as such it should not be undsrtaken lightly. We should not encourage wreakless attempts by providing advice to jump strait to a high OC, or fulfill endless requests for new FW combinations.

If they are determined enough to do it, they arguably should put in some research effort. The info is here.

Especially when @Mitsu™ tutorial is easy as hell. I created tons of combinations in just 5 minutes.

ok i just got my Cech 2501a ordered. i know how to jailbreak it and everything so i just need the OC firmware files and some advice if you guys can help pleasse
 
thanks :) so start at 550/800 then go to 600/700 then 600/750 and keep adjustting the ram till i get artifacts then when i get a good spot without artifacts move on to moving the rsx up to 650 then 700 till i get some artifacts?
