By using CFW to unlock the full potential of the PS3 you begin to realise what a beast it was for 2006. Combine the overclock with an SSD and you have a powerhouse
Just not a cheap SSD. Remember that PS3 supports ZERO ssd features. So if the controller on the SSD itself is not robust enough to handle ALL of it's own data managment and wear leveling, then it'll slow to a crawl and die sooner. Basically has to treat trim as a no command. These firmware features are not advertized and most OS' implement them automatically. Many inexpensive SSDs cheap out on the controller and I wouldn't trust them to last in a PS3. Personally, I'm trying out an SSHD. The traditional HDD part will have no issue with PS3, but they often contain a robust data managment system in FW to handle and optimize frequently accessed data, like the game you're currently playing or OS files. So they "should" provide the best of both worlds.
yes. epic tutorial, others i watched didnt show with enough clarity that i have to update keys and just kept on failing, i eventually just randomly clicked on some options that made some kind of firmware, then i bricked my test ps3. your tutorial helped
Ouch! yeah, I was a bit dissapointed in the previous tutorials as well. I wished they showed the process in more detail as well. IG that's why I felt I needed to make it. Cuz nobody else did!
Thanks for the walkthrough and how to! I got an extra 150 MHz on both the cpu and gpu. Crysis 3 definitely sees improvement. Temp stays just under 70C on a 2000 series slim that I repasted with delidding, with the fan program set to Auto #2. It works great!
I love old hardware since it can often be overclocked way harder As an example my hd 6570 standart clock was 650 core 900 mem but it could oc to 950 1170 pretty stable without adjusting voltage
I love that someone had the ability to hack the ps3 enough to overclock it and made it publicly, it is a amazing tool and a very important scientific diacovery for the community but personaly i would never do that to a ps3 and worries me to think how many will be destroyed in hope for a 4 fps increase
I don't disagree with this sentiment. Thing is that the OC is already out there and people are already bricking. We can't let the fact a tool can be abused to cause harm prevent us from making the tool. Just because a car can be used to run someone over, doesn't mean that's what it's for. I think from a documentatiin and experimentation standpoint the overclock is benificial. I found it helpful to see how core artifacting differs from VRAM artifacting. Might make it easier to diagnose issues in the future. And OFC, if it can help someone enjoy a game that was otherwise unplayable, that's a big bonus.
@@MsLoquendo3456 i said 4 fps because a lot of games have 30 fps limit and run mostly around 22-25 fps, but obviouly some games can gain more from the oc, others nothing at all
Gotta thank you for the VID tables. They were really helpful last night - went and undervolted (following Sampsonay's A01 undervolt which I might replicate as well 😂 ) a test CECHG04 (and you don't wanna know how bad it's been tortured. Half of the units I own that are in working shape went thru less harsh conditions before they got to me than this G04. Heatgunning included (and it wasn't me who did it... rather I was the one to discover it.) Results were a significant drop in temps, and I'm amazed how low I could bring the chips - 1V for CELL, 0.97 for RSX (90nm). (remind me to not be left alone unsupervised with a SYSCON reader and any 90nm PS3 😂😂😂😂)
@@ripfelix3020 Yeah, the only thing I'm not sure of trying (but probably will anyways... that G04 has to get into its grave anytime soon, now that I have an imported A01 and another C04) is a OC on the 90nm RSX. I wonder if it'll ridiculously fail or actually achieve a higher OC, around on par with a 65nm chip, now that it's undervolted to the default 40nm voltage. (correct me if I'm wrong on this one, I recall from a few Frankie diagrams that the 40nm runs @ 0.95v?)
It's definitely interesting, but I won't be installing this on my slims. I overclock desktop PCs, but I'm not risking my PS3s. Thank you for the video!
It was already happening and going to regardless. This way I can warn people and put the info into one place. What people do with their console is their prerogative.
11:24I had an artifact like this and then I just had to change the hardisk (I intended to change the hardisk To fix artifacts and crashes on my PS3 does it help to replace the hard disk?
@@ripfelix3020 I overclocked my PS3 but when I wanted to step up to 700/650 my PS3 artifacted and froze but I remembered I didn't have a flasher so I tried to replace the hard disk with a new one.
Seems to extract the git stuff directly from github on Desktop AND creating the ps3keys by the .bat file now works for me. I've used another MFW builder with more clocks by Mitsu before in another folder which gave me the error above
Do artifacts after overclocking mean the system is at its full capacity? 800 MHz on the core there are artifacts on 750 Mhz there are none. The console is before cleaning and replacing the paste. Does it make sense to check 800 MHz a second time after cleaning and replacing the paste?
From testing I found it seems to lower the stable temperatures. Like say it at 750MHz it's stable at 65C, but at 800 it's stable below 60 and at 850 it has to be below 45...etc. Example numbers only. The clocks they chose would provide a safe margin. But if you cool it more, it can go higher.
600/750 is the place to start. Work your way up slowly after that, or don't continue past if you're not willing to patiently and diligently test for instability and accept the risk. No one can tell you what your max is.
AFAIK metldr2 is still the holdup, but I'm not super up on the jailbreak side of things. Last I heard there was progress, then that effort was abandoned. I don't know the details. It's probably going to happen eventually, but until it's possable to load custom firmware we cannot overclock.
Yep backwards compat ps3s fail while doing nothing mine failed just by sitting on the shelf the next time I got it out in winter boom YLOD but it only cost me approx $40 usd but now I have 2 backwards compatible ps3 that don't work If I had my time again I'd sell it or at minimum mod it not that that would help much
I have a friend Victor that uses a CNC mill to remove the VRAM and then sands down the to the pads so he can install new VRAM modules on the RSX interposer itself. Crazy man. We've speculated about the idea of then installing VRAM modules with higher capacity. The issue then is how to get the console to make use of it. It's such a crazy thing that no one has seriously looked into figuring it out. But I do think it's possable. Edit: XDR would be easier to access and replace, since they arent glued on with underfill. But there's the same issue of allocating the extra memory and then actually utilizing it.
@@ripfelix3020If I tell I thought the same thing you wouldn't believe me, I thought first of using an CNC to cut off rsx modules just to replace memory due to soldering leakage when reballing RSX but then I thought about increasing the VRAM of RSX, I think max Gddr3 that can be installed on RSX may be only 2.048Mb only about 80% increase 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ripfelix3020The Devkits of PS3, they have Option in the Debug Menu to Allow the Extra 256mb Xdr to be used, so that shall Make Very Easy for Developers to find the Code Line on Devkit Tools Firmware where it Reallocate the Extra Twice 256mb Xdr Ram.
Makes me wonder if you were to undervolt a PS3 with YLOD would it fix it since many consoles are are YLOD due to bad noise? Food for thought, and may be worth testing to see if undervolting a YLOD would fix it.
Be sure to run as administrator, select the keys folder, generate the new lvl keys for the FW version you're trying make a MFW of. If none of that works, delete the file, download it again and try to redo it from the begining again. I had weird issues once, got errors I couldn't resolve, deleated it (and the temporary file un user appdata), then reinstalled and it worked that time. IDK why, but I got there eventually. Good luck.
Hello Felix I got an extreme Important question, If you just left an Frankie With it's Original Voltage Controller of which it's about 1.35 Volts for the 90nm rsx that alone wouldn't be the voltage mod for an 40nm Frankie??? And would allow us to Overclock till 950Mhz with the original Voltage Controller??
So the core voltage is determined by the syscon after it's read off the RSX efuses. The GPU's reccomended VID is baked into it. So if it's a 90 syscon will select one voltage. When we frankie it, syscon selects the proper core voltage for that GPU. However, if you manually change that byte in syscon eeprom, it will not change automatically. It'll stay at what you select.
@@ripfelix3020 so after all that means in Frankie's was never necessary to do the voltage mod for the 40nm as the Syscom detects automatically the model of the chip which is related to its lithography!!?
Don't confuse core voltage with VDDR. There are 6 voltages for the RSX. VDDR is a different voltage entirely and if that's not reduced from 1.2v on a 90nm motherboard to 1v for a 65nm RSX or 0.95v for a 40nm, it will burn out in a year. Confirmed.
@@ripfelix3020 Omg, I have no Ideia about that, Alright Understood Thank Dr.Felix, You Rock!!!! Also please bring more overclock videos, Maybe if you want try liquid cooling on RSX or liquid metal, all to help overclock it further, also if there's GPU on slims that are reported to go up to 950mhz with original voltage then just imagine what that GPUs can achieve in core clock if you increase the voltage to 1.35 Volts, so proportionally an GPU like that maybe would achieve 1.4Ghz Core.
Help me i install a overclock update and may console wont turn on i tryed recovery mode but gives a black screen i have webman mod instaled is that possible revert the update? Ps3 fat checha01
You can try safe mode and if that comes up, try installing a known good FW. However, if you don't get any video whatsoever, even if the console is cold, fans cranked, then it could be bricked and you'll need to use a hardware flasher to recover.
Hey Feliz, wanted to return to this. Got my 2504B to 750/850 stable and super happy about it! And for anyone thinking to do this, take your time in testing the mhz properly and dont increment too much mhz before trying, nearly bricked mine because got too greedy and luckily got it back...
You can't install custom firmware unless you can jailbreak. Hen just enables homebrew, but the LV1.self file is in the OS and has to be changed to enable the overclock.
You need a Fat32 MBR formated USB flash drive. Folder structure = PS3/UPDATE/UPDAT.PUP Then plug it into the console and go to update, choose the option to update from storage. You need a compatible base firmware for it to work tho. So be sure you are fully jailbroken and trying to update to a CFW version that's compatible with your system.
Do you mean MFW builder's OC dropdown doesn't contain 700/900? I'm not sure if it does or not, I've been using a modified version of the list in which a whole bunch more combinations have been added. Since rrleasing the video, I found one that was incorrectly labeled and was actually default 500/650.
@@ripfelix3020 bro i did this but while instal cfw to my ps3 its off now it dosnt opening when ı press on button it turns green my fans start vut 3 second later my fan stoped and all liggt turn black
Sounds like a GLOD. Hard to make out what you're saying, but if you built the CFW corectly it shouldn't brick. If you didn't follow directions corectly tho, you can brick. That's why there are disclaimers. Try safe mode options.
Yes, you will just create the Ps3 keys for 491 then select the B9 CFW as the Original FW you want to modify. MFW Builder will then apply any OC combination you want from the options in the dropdown.
Well AFAIK there's nothing we can do about the SATA 1 limitations. CPU may still be possable, but we don't yet understand why it doesnt work on retail, or how it does on dev consoles. we can OC the CELL on a DECR1000A to 4.8GHz and it's extreemly unstable, but we can't figure out how the bytes select that frequency to choose less agressive timings. We've tried the same timings on retail and it causes a YLOD with CPU related error. So it did "something," but nothing good. I think there's hope there, tho.
Bro they like $40 bucks just got one from fb marketplace for $30 not tested no wires no controller got another one for $50 with 3 controllers and 10 games and another one off ebay for $150 it was a fat one with the sd card slot already jailbroken with 2 controllers and external drive with literally every game the crazy thing is he didnt even list the drive what a g tho lol
Did I say HFW somewhere? Not sure what you're asking, but if you're wondering why you can't use Homebrew Enabler HEN, it's because you can't change the values in lv1.self where the timings are. You need to be able to install custom firmware, which means full jailbreak.
dont overclock neither of the ps3, it overheats easy, maybe the super slim, but thats it, its really dangerous and we will see a wave of dead ps3 because of this.
Check the link in the description for the project RSX boost thread on the psx place forums. There are many people there that have uploads countless combinations. It's endless the requests we get for some new combination. So No, I'm not interested in doing that. It's why I made a tutorial to show people how to do it themselves.

@@ripfelix3020 alright Thank You So Much Felix 🙏
Don't confuse core voltage with VDDR. There are 6 voltages for the RSX. VDDR is a different voltage entirely and if that's not reduced from 1.2v on a 90nm motherboard to 1v for a 65nm RSX or 0.95v for a 40nm, it will burn out in a year. Confirmed.
@@ripfelix3020 Omg, I have no Ideia about that, Alright Understood Thank Dr.Felix, You Rock!!!! Also please bring more overclock videos, Maybe if you want try liquid cooling on RSX or liquid metal, all to help overclock it further, also if there's GPU on slims that are reported to go up to 950mhz with original voltage then just imagine what that GPUs can achieve in core clock if you increase the voltage to 1.35 Volts, so proportionally an GPU like that maybe would achieve 1.4Ghz Core.
I'm curious how would GTA4 run on this
Probably not well. IIRC that game was not well optimized for the CPU, which a GPU overclock can do very little to help with.
Help me i install a overclock update and may console wont turn on i tryed recovery mode but gives a black screen i have webman mod instaled is that possible revert the update? Ps3 fat checha01
You can try safe mode and if that comes up, try installing a known good FW. However, if you don't get any video whatsoever, even if the console is cold, fans cranked, then it could be bricked and you'll need to use a hardware flasher to recover.
@@ripfelix3020 thanks i'll try this
Stupid question, do you install this modified firmware to an already CFW-PS3 or can I install this directly to a 3.89 OFW?
You can install like any custom firmware, but need to be jailbroken 1st. So you can't OC 30xx models onward.
@@ripfelix3020Okay, many thanks!
Hey Feliz, wanted to return to this. Got my 2504B to 750/850 stable and super happy about it! And for anyone thinking to do this, take your time in testing the mhz properly and dont increment too much mhz before trying, nearly bricked mine because got too greedy and luckily got it back...
I'm not gonna touch my 65nm RSX of my Cechj for sure hahaha but this can be so OP if we discover how to change LV1 in super slims
Where is the water cooling?
In a box collecting dust.
Did you say can't be hen? I couldn't hear correctly when you were talking about jailbreak
You can't install custom firmware unless you can jailbreak. Hen just enables homebrew, but the LV1.self file is in the OS and has to be changed to enable the overclock.
can you tell me how to install a firmware update on via storage its okay if it needs jailbroken mine already is
You need a Fat32 MBR formated USB flash drive. Folder structure = PS3/UPDATE/UPDAT.PUP
Then plug it into the console and go to update, choose the option to update from storage. You need a compatible base firmware for it to work tho. So be sure you are fully jailbroken and trying to update to a CFW version that's compatible with your system.
@@ripfelix3020 thx god bless you
@@ripfelix3020 I didn't work thx anyway I tried the overclock method that you install with the update
Bro ı want to make 700-900 mhz but it isnt have in this app help me pls
Do you mean MFW builder's OC dropdown doesn't contain 700/900? I'm not sure if it does or not, I've been using a modified version of the list in which a whole bunch more combinations have been added. Since rrleasing the video, I found one that was incorrectly labeled and was actually default 500/650.
@@ripfelix3020 bro i did this but while instal cfw to my ps3 its off now it dosnt opening when ı press on button it turns green my fans start vut 3 second later my fan stoped and all liggt turn black
Sounds like a GLOD. Hard to make out what you're saying, but if you built the CFW corectly it shouldn't brick. If you didn't follow directions corectly tho, you can brick. That's why there are disclaimers.
Try safe mode options.
does this work with evilnat 4.91.2 beta 9?
Yes, you will just create the Ps3 keys for 491 then select the B9 CFW as the Original FW you want to modify. MFW Builder will then apply any OC combination you want from the options in the dropdown.
@@ripfelix3020 thanks!
İs there any way to oc hen wf
No. Requires changing hex values in lv1. Hen doesn't give you that low level of access.
Got 2 2501A overclocked to 700/1000 - at 750 it glitches under Crysis' games and Deadpool
gains beyond that arent spactacular anyway. enjoy.
@@ripfelix3020 it's always nice to remove a bottleneck from the equation, now we are still stuck with CPU bottleneck and HDD IO bottleneck
Well AFAIK there's nothing we can do about the SATA 1 limitations. CPU may still be possable, but we don't yet understand why it doesnt work on retail, or how it does on dev consoles. we can OC the CELL on a DECR1000A to 4.8GHz and it's extreemly unstable, but we can't figure out how the bytes select that frequency to choose less agressive timings. We've tried the same timings on retail and it causes a YLOD with CPU related error. So it did "something," but nothing good. I think there's hope there, tho.
I’m here with my 950/1000 PS3 brute forcing games. It’s insane the bump in FPS you get. It legit becomes a PS3 pro.
What's funny is that's how my friend described it. Like a "higher level of console."
@@ripfelix3020 yeah that was crazy🤣 and he was just a normal guy without the knowledge that hard core gamers have.
what model are you using??
@@Ribsllor 2501B
I got the 2501A, what temps are you getting and how’s the stability?
Shame i owned the super slim. Nice tutorial tho
Bro they like $40 bucks just got one from fb marketplace for $30 not tested no wires no controller got another one for $50 with 3 controllers and 10 games and another one off ebay for $150 it was a fat one with the sd card slot already jailbroken with 2 controllers and external drive with literally every game the crazy thing is he didnt even list the drive what a g tho lol
HFW?
Did I say HFW somewhere? Not sure what you're asking, but if you're wondering why you can't use Homebrew Enabler HEN, it's because you can't change the values in lv1.self where the timings are. You need to be able to install custom firmware, which means full jailbreak.
this is why you are dead Felix.
One more Upload and I will start to seizure
Overclocking a PS3 seems really interesting, but considering how strained these things already are it would be a tight overclock at best.
I was able to achieve about 37% performance boost in FPS. That's a larger increase than you generally see from PC OC'ing. It's pretty wild.
@@ripfelix3020Holy shit, 37%!? That’s beyond insane, nice work man
now Zombie MOd like a XOC Gpu
mr mario's tutorials are steaming trash
His video helped me with jailbreaking my console
dont overclock neither of the ps3, it overheats easy, maybe the super slim, but thats it, its really dangerous and we will see a wave of dead ps3 because of this.
I keep getting "Couldn't execute 'patchtool.exe'"
Run as admin
Can you give me those modified .pup’s? I can’t get MFW to work even following this.
Check the link in the description for the project RSX boost thread on the psx place forums. There are many people there that have uploads countless combinations. It's endless the requests we get for some new combination. So No, I'm not interested in doing that. It's why I made a tutorial to show people how to do it themselves.
@@ripfelix3020 ok, thanks man🙏🏾
