@WestinEast8 күн бұрын
@@meansled You have to determine the cause to answer that - Most likely it's a scenario where the GPU is cooked and therefore you have to have the procedure done to swap the old rsx with a new one from a newer slim PlayStation, and I paid about $400 for that. But there is a million reasons why it happens, so as a regular person who isn't trying to do an insanely expensive project, just get a PS3 slim for like 100 bucks off eBay and it'll last forever because it has effectively none of these problems

@WestinEast28 күн бұрын
@@JohnDuraSSB yeah, unfortunately the SSD spreadsheet calls this one garbage and according to the specs it is. No dram, 1 core, 2 channel, and slow write speeds. The write and read speeds aren't an issue since the obvious sata data cap but eventually getting an SSD with a dram cache (it's actually super hard in 2024) would be ideal.

The original fan pulls in fresh air from bellow the ps3 and through routes in the aluminum clampshell from the top of the ps3. The psu especially can get very toasty depending on what version you have due to its efficiency. I would make sure to pull air through the exhaust to keep some cool air making it through the ps3. You could also put an intake where the memory card reader is in front of the psu with some noctua fans aswell but thats probably overkill on this whole thing already.
@WestinEast29 күн бұрын
@@jet613 I put those 2 40mm noctua fans blowing into the exhaust on the rear, and while this is enough to keep it from exploding even in ps2 mode (since the emotion engine no longer has direct cooling). However, it's clear that this is the biggest oversight on my part. One thing I was going to do but never did was cut a hole in the bottom and put a thin fan on the inside of the chassis to blow air directly in/onto the clamshell. I also have to cool the power supply somehow because I'm sure that it's going to die if I'm not careful - the plastic case was melted when I got it and I have half a mind to believe it was due to this PSU. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching!

I have a v1 switch I modded and it's amazing. You can't quite lock every game at 60 FPS. But you can with some or at least get close. Even 40ish fps is better than 30. Skyrim is mostly stable 60 FPS indoors and caves. Around 40's outside. That and with a few graphics mods installed it looks way better than you think it would on switch.

Watercooling will extend its life a little, but it is not a solution. It will still die, the defect is between the DIE and the chip's PCB, it is humanly impossible to correct, the best thing you can do is exchange the chip for a later revision, manufactured in a smaller lithography process, to have time to reasonable useful life (frankenstation 3), or wait until an Asian genius creates an interposer for the super slim PS3 chip. Personally, I gave up on saving my console (I have technical knowledge of reballing, and equipment) but I decided that the best thing for me is to mount an ITX PC or laptop card inside the fat PS3 case, and run it through emulation. PS3 emulation is advancing rapidly, and with it, there are the benefits of emulation, such as savestates, upscaling, stable framerate, lower noise and heat. I believe I was the first guy to put a complete PC inside the case of an xbox classic, as a sleeper, including ATX power supply and graphics card, and it is still working today as an HTPC in the room (unfortunately the xbox classic emulation was abandoned and recently resumed).

Everything else I run via Steam OS, but I wanted something to not only rely on xCloud for Game Pass since I've had that service for years. For now, that responds to my needs really well!
