1 question I didn't understood anything about the A1GB CGB etc 1 word simple?Best tips ever
That's not really how it works.
"A" and "B" are mostly indicating which HDD capacitance your console has.
What defines the potential of a PS3 is its RSX model.
CXD5300"A1GB", "CGB", "DGB" or "GGB".

Model numbers and serial codes won't exactly help. For example, two similar units may have a different P/N mainboard with a completely different RSX.
@Tanzu15 and @Mitsu™
What PCB models and part numbers were printed on your mainboards, specifically?
This would help further narrow down the compatible models for European models which have the "datecode-in-a-box" printed. Not the most accurate, but an potential indicator which PAL mainboards are likely to have high OC yield RSXs. (as in, which mainboard P/Ns are likely to contain CGB or higher binned RSXs.)
For example, I'll provide my own 750/975 2500 - CECH-2503A, datecode 0C, mainboard JSD-001, P/N 1-882-770-31, RSX CXD5300CGB.
The less desirable 25xx mainboard I had in storage - 2504B, 0C datecode, mainboard JTP-001, P/N 1-882-481-21, RSX CXD5300A1GB.

how do i find my datecode and mainboard code and everything you have shown so i can share mine?

The datecode should be on the bottom of the PS3.
In case of your PS3, US based consoles should have an specific month and year of production printed instead of datecode - you'll want it to be in the December 2010 - January 2011 range, or close whereabouts, for your specific 2500 model.
As for the other two (mainboard model and part number), you'll unfortunately have to disassemble the whole PS3, down to the mainboard.
While @bguerville 's online toolset would have told you the mainboard type (as far as I remember, latest release of the bgtoolset would show the mainboard model used in the PS3 that the website is accessed from), the P/N can only be determined by disassembling the PS3 completely and taking photos of both sides.

so can you tell me what my rsx is from this serial? and what serial code does Tanzu have so i can try and get one online. thanks guys
You'll have to check your GPU's IHS.
• CXD5300A1GB : This one can do 700 on core easily, 750 if you're lucky (but don't count on it). As for memory (VRAM), 900 or 925. Maybe 950 at best.
• CXD5300CGB : 800 on core stable. 850 freeze after some time in game, but it's 100% stable if the temp stays below 70°C. Up to 1000MHz on memory if you're lucky (stay cautious).
• CXD5300DGB : We don't know it well, the only report say 700/1000 stable max.
• CXD5300GGB : The greatest overclockers, 850 or 900 on core. 950 is EXTREMELY rare. Up to 1000MHz on memory.
Of course, there are always exceptions due to the silicon lottery.
While later date codes give you more chances to get a good chip, this is still a lottery (a triple lottery in fact. Month ? + Chip revision ? + Silicon lottery ?).
Of course, a better potential still doesn't mean that it's a good idea to stress the RSX that much on the long run.

After trying several oc, I can only use 550-700, it is the only one that does not turn off in the tomb raider, my ps3 slim cech-2004A does not work anymore
Ow thank for the information I'll have to check that when the time come for the delidYou'll have to check your GPU's IHS.

Overheating problems? What temperature do you have this if a very unlucky ps3 Jesus

Almost 100% sure that it's NEC Tokins related.
If you could dump your SYSCON log, we'll see.
My 2004B has the same issue. In demanding games like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, at 700MHz core : shutdown (3 beeps).
650MHz core is fine on it, but your capacitors are probably more degraded.

Yes, it emits 3 beeps and turns off, are you referring to the capacitors on the board or the power supply?

Yes but check your SYSCON log first, to be sure.

Found two more contenders for some OCs.
One is a CECH2003B 0A. Likely not far given this is one of the last units to ever feature a 65nm chip (RSX.)
The other is a CECH2504B 0D. Might have some chances of GGB or CGB.
Offtopic: I just came from doing a 128MB mod on a OGXbox and somehow feel invincible lol

Many 1002 errors and a 3004, so yes, it confirms that your NEC Tokins are tired.
2022 errors are not important. Even a brand new PS3 will have them, that's when you're playing PS2 games.

Many of those errors were surely from trying various levels of OC, anyway, I will have to look for another PS3, thanks for the answers, they have been helpful

I have like 6 GGBs. They all do 850/975 zero diff.
