    Improving the Cooling and Performance of a PS3 Slim: A Journey

    Better safe than sorry, especially with the PS3. Last thing you want is your console bricking over a single overheated chip you could have fixed in ten minutes. That said it likely isn't an urgent problem and I'd fix it whenever most convenient

    Ps3 nec tokin issue

    I'm sorry you haven't had anyone talk in this thread yet, but the PS3 scene here is very small. I recommend putting your issue on PSX Place, they'll likely be able to help you. Only thing I can think of is, somehow, boosting the fan speed is drawing too much power and causing a shutdown. I hope...

    Looking to buy a PS3 (modded)

    I would recommend getting a PS3 Slim model, specifically any of these models SLIM VS PHAT Couple reasons: -Maintaining a PS3 PHAT is a big task, but the Slim models are significantly less susceptible to hardware failures. Older model PS3s have a hardware fault in their processors/ GPUs. You can...

    Improving the Cooling and Performance of a PS3 Slim: A Journey

    Bit of an update, I fixed the CMOS battery holder! I was scrapping a busted PS2 for parts when I noticed the CMOS battery holder. I couldn't help myself, took a bit of work but hey I saved $3. Pics for proof: The console is still performing well! The buttons that control Power/ Eject are...

    Improving the Cooling and Performance of a PS3 Slim: A Journey

    Paste absolutely worth the trouble, pads not as much. I'd only replace the pads if there's either an issue or you really wanna go all in.

    Gaming OK could some one tell me the size of the complete collection/PS3+PSN/

    Hacking Delidded Temps

    My first attempt at re-pasting my PS3 resulted in me putting waaaaay too much paste resulting in 70 C temps, higher than before the paste. Idk what it is but the PS3 takes a bit of trial-and-error to get the temps right, happy to hear it sorted out it the end.

    Improving the Cooling and Performance of a PS3 Slim: A Journey

    I felt that last line lol Yeah MX6 is the thermal paste I used, for thermal pads I used the thermalright 1680905487 Never was a fan of people taking drills to consumer electronics. Chances are it just makes it easier for dust to get in and clump up. I'll have to check what model RSX I got I'm...

    Gaming Homebrew Review 4IFIR / OC Suite - Showcases (performance / power consumption)

    I doubt the integrity of any modder that doesn't show their source code. I'll stick to Sys-clk, thank you

    Gaming Homebrew Review 4IFIR / OC Suite - Showcases (performance / power consumption)

    You know what I'm getting legitimate concerns now that this is using either stolen code or there's some sort of Trojan. Dump the code. Quit tiptoeing around dumping the code. You're incredibly evasive for what should be the highlight of any free public project.

    Is unlocking the USB speeds possible?

    I've heard that the Switch has USB 3.0 ports on the dock, but the software caps it to USB 2.0 speeds. Have any efforts been made to lifting the cap? Furthermore, could similar changes be made to Micro SD card speeds?

    Help me build THE ULTIMATE WIIU!!

    Wii U RGB sounds like a trip alright. I may do a fan mod for my Wii U. If I ever get around to it I'll post pics/ share results. I did a Noctua swap for the PS2 and GameCube and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Those things are silent. Also my initial post wasn't trying to start...

    Help me build THE ULTIMATE WIIU!!

    Let's talk fan mods. You could probably replace the stock Nidec fan with something like a Noctua A4x10. Not certain on the exact size but I imagine it'd be similar to the PS2's. Could help with noise, not that the Wii U is incredibly noisy, but for $15 it definitely adds to the "ultimate" factor

    Gaming Emulation Misc Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Emulator/Etc Discussion

    Once a hero joins your party you gain their class on one of your six main party members. As you use this class with that one character, your other party members slowly learn the class as well. Some heroes are gained through story progression, a lot more through their own side quests. Once you...

    Gaming Homebrew Review 4IFIR / OC Suite - Showcases (performance / power consumption)

    Ok so from what I'm gathering is this is a magic piece of overclocking software that is much more efficient in portable mode due to it drawing less power than other software. Why does it draw less power?

    Gaming Hardware Recommend me some gifts (console, xbox game) with 100€ of allowance money

    The PS3 has official PS1 emulation, so while you wouldn't be able to play PS1 games on a PS2 with the HDD (I mean you can but POPstarter isn't the best) you could just play them on the 3. I really do recommend a PS2 with CFW though. It's a fantastic console with a ton of excellent games from...

    Gaming Homebrew Review 4IFIR / OC Suite - Showcases (performance / power consumption)

    ay man as someone who had horrid GI issues for seven months, probiotic yogurt is yogurt all the same. But yeah I'm definitely a fan of overclocking on the Switch so I'm interested to see exactly how this differs performance wise. Would be interested to see how titles like Xenoblade 2 stack up...

    That's dope, how? What is it doing outside of increasing clock speeds? Or, rather, what is it doing that Sys-clk isn't?
