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

[Zx6r]

Test results running crysis

Custom 120mm fan:off

Ps3 fan:20% speed

After 5 mintues gpu hits 75c+ and crashs and overclock becomes unstable

Test 2

Custom 120mm fan:On

Ps3 fan:20% speed

After 30 mintues of testing gpu temperature stays 64c the whole time sometimes drops to 63c temperature never rises above 64c

Gpu core:900mhz

Vram:1Ghz

Overvolt:not yet gonna apply it soon

Project name:1ghz

For those saying your gonna shorten the life of your ps3 I know what am doing

I'll probably get bored before it dies so let me enjoy the whole ps3 to its limits

Next mod for this ps3:led mod for ps3 logo and fan

No i tried it myself, usually it would bring me back to the stock speeds, but when i opened it with as "administrator", somehow it decided to give me this

I don't remember the exact name of the options, but both the rebuilder options should be unchecked when making a RSX overclock pup. I don't know if what's happened to you can cause that specifically, but it can cause a brick. I have a feeling that that's what's happened.

We've already seen about how low we can go, but how high with overclocking with hardware mods?

Overclocked or not, the ps3 will last a long time. By the time it dies, you'd have played every game you'd ever play on it. And got all the enjoyment from it.

1 - Install WebmanMod.
2 - Go there to access some settings
"http://0.0.0.0/edit.ps3/dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_res/VshFpsCounter.yaml"

Or search this file directly through FTP and edit it :

dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_res/VshFpsCounter.yaml

3 - Press L3+R3 simultaneously on the XMB until a notification pops up.


I'll try this.

for some reason i cannot modify it using the http link, it will always trow me in a google search and not in the file

is there a way to know my RSX model type without opening the console ?

and which RSX type consider to be the best or go highest ?

asking about the 2500 series model only since its the best so far.

Look for a dec 2010 or jan 2011.

But honestly it doesn't matter that much because most 2501 can hit 700/900 and that's all you need.
If you cap and volt mod then you can probably get an extra 100mhz on core without unreasonable voltages.

yup I already know that, but my question is different.

I see some people mentioning RSX chip numbers. I just want to know if there's a way to know that on the console webman settings. So I won't need to open it.

you can dump the string and look at the text.

Nope, unfortunately, opening it is the only method. Dates aren't 100% reliable, even if it's true that you're more likely to find a champion by buying a Dec 2010/Jan 2011 model.

If you want a great overclocker, look for a CXD5300CGB (good potential) or a CXD5300GGB (absolute champion).

This will tell you the fab (Toshiba, Sony, TSMC) but not the revision.

As far as I know, for example, a CXD5300GGB from Toshiba or TSMC will still perform better than a CXD5300A1GB from Sony.
So, knowing the RSX revision is important, and knowing the fab helps to sort them further within the same revision (Sony's seem to have the greatest potential).

thank you, exactly what I needed.

I have 2 jan 2011 for now.

1 can reach 900/875 and the other one 750/975 both stable, I can make them run higher but not stable because freezing happens after 3h gameplay. Surely the RSX is not the same on both.

Anyone have ps3keys for mfw builder with 4.92?

Keys are the same, since like 4.25. Use the .bat to add them. Just type in 4.92 or whatever it asks, then build mfw as normal.

Ok, the keys I had went to 491 is why I thought was needed.

@Charles_n_town the mfw exe is giving me errors for patch.exe execution oddly now. Can I request a 700-850 from ya if you can successfully build?

Hey can you send me your MFWBuilder mine is not working i think i need the keys i tried to update but did not work to. Are you already Overclock the Evilnat 4.92 in MFWBuilder?

sure, I added 4.92 right before adding the overclock above. it's the pex one actually, but it can't differentiate between pex and cex, so it says cex:

Thank you man i really appreciate it so i can now Overclock the 4.92 with no problems?

pretty much. if you've never built an oc firmware, select the 4.xx cex tarballs box, uncheck both rebuilder boxes (not doing so could cause a brick), select the rsx oc box, select what you want from the drop down box on the top right, then build. that's pretty much it.
