Hello there!
Got my hands on a PS3 (life long PCMR, though i had PS1 XBone and XBox360 and PS4 but never used em much) since I wanted to play some PS exclusives (See what the fuss is about FF and unchartered etc.) got it cheapish from the classifieds ~45 bucks for a CHECHK.
Did a teardown with cleaning and new MX4 paste, added a 750GBHDD and installed CFW on it - so far so good
Slipped in my Disc and copied to HDD (OMG I forgot how glacial consoles are when loading from disc)
I got NHL 15 and FF8 cheap and started playing and Holy Hell - either I get overheating warnings or the PS3 litterally vibrates off the Desk....
This can't be normal?! It is Clean and I checked the paste and it has good contact, yet that thing is either an AGA or tries to fly away...
Are there still some waterblocks available? IDC if I have to Frankenstein it - but that is just INSANE (Since I still have a lot of stuff from my custom loops all I would need is the Waterblock for the GPX/CELL chips) back in the days there were some yet today they are hard to find or ooS. seen some hacks with universal blocks on YT yet no one adds which one they used in the Video.
Hoping some of you can help with that.
2. Issue: Is there a way to globally set the fanspeeds? seems like every Dash has its own and none really work and the fw based is cooking the chips
so a pointer at compatible waterblocks either to aliexpress or Amazon (EU or US is ok) would be appreciated
thanks in advance and cheers
