the music makes you extremely hard to hear bro

+Marcus Er sry bro. next time ill take care...

[@dangelini1137]

Yeah, music is trash and a distraction

[@dragoss16]

Finally I bit the bullet and delided my ps3 CPU for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE .... and guess what , I succeeded !!!!!!!!!!!! The method with nail pile is just brilliant , it's the most safest way to delid the CPU BTW , after delid I did a cold test to see if I screwed up the CPU , I almost shat my pants when I saw blinking yellow light but then I realised I didn't plug the PSU on those 2 thick metal conductors on the mother board , thanks god ........ LONG LIVE NSC !!!!

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you so much, check also my latest videos about that, they are way better 😀

[@Shundi12]

I'd just like to say thanks to UltraNSC for his repair vids. I have managed to turn a £30 eBay PS3 that sounded like a jet engine after 5 minutes to super quiet machine that stays on for hours playing games with no problem. I used an art "knife" from hobby craft to take the CPU heat spreader off using the same technique as in this video. Make sure you do the finger nail test first :0)

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you very much man, i apeceriate it much, u always welcome ;)

[@LightDefeatsDarkness]

I've had many Game Overs with PS3s doing this with ultra sharp, ultra thin blades. It is faster, but if the silicon drives the blade the wrong way, you will scratch the CPU instantly. This is pretty much the best guide.

[@nasinocinesino4919]

Repaired successfully! I used on the cpu (Cell BE) a "Oil Knife Spatula N°1" (the smallest); now the console doesn't suffer anymore of overheating and auto-shutdown, it's like new! THANKS YOU!

[@NSC-Modz]

Nice done :)

[@tech_and_ecom]

Congrats bro ! Witch silicone u used for the CPU ?

[@NSC-Modz]

You never need to use silicon again :)

[@Ahov29]

90% people trying that screw up their ps3 xD.. fact

[@NSC-Modz]

Yeah but so or so, the ps3 would die if you just do nothing 😅

[@YootubeUK]

Nope another one of mine dead. Was fully working but fans running at 2nd highest setting but not really even blowing warm. After modifying some nail files like in your video I still couldn't cut through the damn silicone. Gave up, reassembled with fresh thermal paste. RLOD. Dead. I hate the PS3 Fat. Sony's worst console ever. I'd be tempted to say if yours runs, leave it alone, you'll only kill it.

[@NSC-Modz]

YootubeUK Yeah, it Looks very easy on my Videos, but it´s NOT, you need a lot Pacience and Skills, otherwise you will kill it...

[@darthsynchronic]

Use "fishing line" to floss the silicon adhesive to separate the IHS from the CPU

[@NSC-Modz]

Yeah, it's just not working on newer models. But always worth to try it out

[@stoneyswolf]

I did mine yesterday. Great videos you helped a lot a gotta say I was sweating bullets doing the cpu. I did it a little different I used a feeler gauge that I sanded the edge with a dremal. Took what seemed like forever to get it to start cutting the silicone but once it was in it started going easy just went really slow. Did your cooling mods also and speed up the fan. Runs super cool now only 100 degree f coming out the back gaming.

[@Dylmix00116]

is it best to de lid a ps3 for overheating issues?

[@NSC-Modz]

@Dylmix00116 sure it is bro., it's most important. Check also my latest Videos about PS3 Delid ✌️

[@113odyssey]

this CPU lid looks way easier to remove eight years ago. I'm fighting like crazy to get mine off right now. SOB won't give

[@filipesantos4757]

Sony really fucked up when building these consoles hopefully ill never have to get to this point because if it does its goodbye

[@giovanninisr]

I have a ps3 60 gb. If a buy another ps3 yloded 60 gb ps3, could I transfer the cpu and gpu from the second mainboard to the first? Because I don't want to lose my data.

[@gh5643]

hi, I have done replacing the thermal paste on both gpu's and cpu's die but i still get this overheating warning then ps3 shuts itself down, any help will be appreciated, thanx.

[@chchris25]

Do you have a video on how you make the tool? Did you sharpen the edges of the tool?

[@TheNewFakk28]

damn, nice video. It would have been wonderful if I could have done it right. :P I spent all day working on my 60gb CECH-A01 drilling holes in it, taking off the video card heat spreader, cleaning it, putting on new thermal compound, reflowing it hoping it wouldn't get a ylod one day. Somehow I damaged the damn gpu in the process now its ylod. Perfect! To make matters worse im now living in cebu and there is not one person that can fix it. great!

[@Serchik]

Great video. God Job men! Thanks.

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you very much, you welcome to my YT Channel, i got also a newer video about the IHS, so take a look on my Channel if you need some more info :)

[@NSC-Modz]

Yes, it was the FAT, i already did open a lot Heatspreaders, also with a Razor blade, i know what happens when you dont take care ^^ thats why im very skilled, but i realy have open a lots... and its like u told, it is very thing between Heatspreader and CHIP, thats why i did my own tool, so its Faster, Saver and Thiner ;) Peace

[@user-iu9zg1kh7l]

So do you offer or sell The board or ps3 upgraded? Good video but I just trashed mine...oops...hit a diode...won’t power on .

[@NSC-Modz]

Hello I just sell finished consoles :) You can try to get the diode soldered back with a good soldering iron, but you need good skills.

[@giovanninisr]

After trying to do this, I got YLOD. What can I do now? p.s. Sorry for my bad English

[@NSC-Modz]

hmm you maybe have scratch the CELL CPU? you need take care at the contacts, when you scratch them, u will destroy your Console... is the CELL CPU Scratched? Please look at the Chips and contacts at the platine if you have destroy something... Thats why i always say: TAKE CARE ! ! ! it looks easy on my videos, but its not easy for one that has never do this...

[@113odyssey]

Do you notice that the RSX chips on the slims have more of the thermal glue or tend to hold better than the fats? I've been able to do 2 successful delidding on a couple of my fatboys, but I had to throw in the towel the other day after attempting it on my slim. It looked like I could see more glue overlapping the chips than I had previously seen on my fat consoles.

[@NSC-Modz]

That's right, but it's also because the thermal glue on the Fat's is very old 🙈

[@NSC-Modz]

hehe LoL

[@Drenalim]

ich glaub fast ich hab mir meine Ps3 zerdeppert >.< Die (mistige Nagelpfeile) ist unter dem Heatsink abgebrochen und stecken geblieben. Nun bekomm ich das scheiß Teil weder mit Cutter , noch mit Schraubenzieher, Faden oder Nagellackentferner ab... ich bin ratlos und weiß nicht ob ichs nicht inzwischen kaputt gemacht hab ...

good evening my brothers really please I need your help I have a ps3 fat CECHG04 with 2 usb ports which does not start I am looking for where to find its 5volt regulator

[@NSC-Modz]

You can take a multimeter and search it.

[@christiangames7106]

@@NSC-Modz I can't because it's been more than 5 days I'm on this please 🙏🙏🙏 if you know where to find his ic power show me please

[@NSC-Modz]

hi it turns off cause the Chips GPU&CPU gets to hot... befor u do this, try to run your Console OPEN, open the console, and try if it works longer, if yes, then u know it runs hot... If its so, then u can first add new termal paste, and make the holes for better air flow... if it still keeps to turn off, then u can try to open the Heatspreaders, BUT TAKE CARE and work SLOWLY with Time and Pacience! Cheers

[@NSC-Modz]

u tried to open the CELL CPU or the RSX CPU? and witch blade did u use??? it musst be a very slim blade, or u can destroy your chip, so if u tried to open it, and if you have also put inside the blade, then maybe u have realy scratch the CPU :( it just can be that problem, im nearly 90% sure... seems like u scratch the CPU? did u get IN the blade between Heatspreader and CPU? if yes, then u maybe realy have scratch the CPU = Contact lines damaged = YLOD sry also for my english...

[@schallti]

lol hauptsache das silikon von der platine weggekratzt, das soll man nämlich NICHT machen. Nur am Kühlkörper wegkratzen. Habe schon genug PS3 gemacht und weiss von was ich rede.

[@hiddeninthebrush]

Has anyone ever tried dental floss for this?

[@ΒαιοςΝταφουλης]

hallo...ich entresere mich fur dass cecha 01- decha01 ps3 mit ihs remove (mit thermal combackt)wie fehl kossten nach gricheland zum seken ...mit fazan

[@NSC-Modz]

kinda,but the most overheat problems comes from an other reason... to fix overheating problems do it like this: /watch?v=OocZpLNT8xM > works 1000% ;) u just need to open the heatspreaders when your fan turns very loud and at 100% on the first 2-5min. after u start your console,if this is not happen, then you dont realy need to open the heatspreaders.like i told,first do all like on the vid. link up, and if it still keeps overheating then you can go on and open the heatspreaders also. Cheers

[@leonardolovrencic8379]

Servus, ich habe eine PS3 wo nur das rote Licht dreimal blinkt und dreimal piept, direkt nachdem ich es versuche einzuschalten, also keine andere Farben außer rot, woran kann es liegen? Danke im Voraus

[@NSC-Modz]

yes, looks like, BUT TAKE CARE AT THE CELL CPU ! ! ! you need a real thing tool to get there inside without to scratch the CPU (CELL) in my eyes its better to open both, so you dont need it to open again if it was not the other Chip ^^ but its up to you, mostly its the CELL CPU, but sometimes its also the RSX GPU i open always both, i begin with the RSX then i go to the CELL Chip! Just work slowly, with Pacience and with A LOT care at the CELL CPU !

[@NSC-Modz]

yes, then u will need to open the IHS, B U T take care !!! from 10 peoples just 3-4 has done it right, the rest has destroy the CPU or what else... LIKE I TOLD, TAKE CARE ! work clean and with pacience, DONT try to get the IHS with violence out, just cut it easy like on my Video, and DONT scratch the Chip! and yes, AS5 or MX2 is fully ok ;)

[@SaycoPworrell]

NSC is the place to be yo!!

[@NSC-Modz]

wait, so did u open this 2 Heatspreaders or not??? a reball or heat up the chips can help, but oly if u have destroyed nothing... What did u do? tell me... so i can help u more

[@NSC-Modz]

yes, i have could make u this also, but im from Germany :) if u buy a new mainboard, then u dont need to put the new CPUs in the old Mainboard ^^ thats just shity ^^ and maybe it will not work, because it needs to be 1000% the same CPU/GPU!

[@NSC-Modz]

hmm im not sure... i would not try to ue this smds from an Notebook, i have a lot parts, let me see what i can do...

[@NSC-Modz]

i need to see a pic or something, but if you still got them, then u can sold it back yes ;) If you dont got the same ones, then try to buy the same with same capacity :)

[@matthewflores3449]

Should I remove other IHS? Model A01's chip for hdmi?

[@NSC-Modz]

No, the CELL and RSX is fully enough :)

[@NSC-Modz]

hmm normaly the RSX is a bit stronger as the CELL chip... hope u can fix it, let me know, im here for u, but now im off to bed ;) Peace

[@simbin.]

Do you know what kind of temps I can expect (PS3 Slim) in modern games if I remove both IHS and fully replace the thermal compound - without drilling holes in the case? I already replaced the thermal paste above both IHS but I have to use fan control software to keep temps down and it's loud in newer games. Thanks

[@NSC-Modz]

+simbin you can get up to 20C° better Temps, conform if you made some holes or not... Check out my Videos where i have already tested all :)

[@NSC-Modz]

sounds like u need to change the thermal paste also on the Heatspreaders. you can first to let the console run open, open the Case and let it work while the Case is open, if it gets better then u just need to do some holes on the Case like on my other Videos. BUT if you open the Heatspreaders, then TAKE CARE! Cheers

[@loki-ol1mn]

One question. Do i need to remove this silicone around the CPU or i can leave it there and just change thermal compound?? And great video u have my like and sub :D

[@NSC-Modz]

Thank you very much ^^ You dont ^need to remove it, u can leave it :)

[@loki-ol1mn]

Hi Nein musst nicht warten... Hast du unter dem RSX* auch wärmeleitpaste aufgetragen? Hast du an dem RSX Chip die 4 kleinen Ram Chips vom dem blöden Kleber entfernt? hast du an dem RSX Heatspreader ebenfalls den blöden kleber von den 4 flächen wo es geklebt war entfernt? Hast du auf den 4 Ram Chips an dem RSX auch wärmeleitpaste aufgetragen? Hast du am CELL Prozessor rum gemacht? Bitte schau dieses Video ab 14:00 an: /watch?v=1efG09NQSsI Mach das genau so, dann sollte alles gehen... Lg.

[@RobertPLWitek]

With this method remove IHS from GPU on my model is just impossible. My PS3 is CECH 2504B. It's look there is no silicon on VRam just some kind of glue, hard like a hell. Accidentally I made a little scratch on chip laminate, close edge. Lucky it looks that GPU working without any issues. I think only hotair is solution for me...
