@@ConsoleKingRepair yo that’s awesome. I’m jelous. How do you source your RSX chips? And a heads up the highest overclockers are RSX revision CXD5300GGB. If you manage to ever find an RSX like that, those can do 800-900 core.
it is not stable due to voltage limit. overclocking without changing voltage is safe, nothing will explode at 56c. overclocking with bumping voltage will increase stability but also temps and risk of damaging the chip. judging by how hot the rsx and cell ran from factory I would assume it can handle a lot of heat before anything bad happens.
@@gnrtx-36969 undervolt gives you artifacts because you are not downclocking. take a rtx 4070 for instance, it comes from the factory with 1.1v @ 2800 MHz +/- but my chip can do 1.1v @ 3060 MHz or 0.950v @ 2700 MHz. The fact that my chip can go higher has to do with something called "Silicon Lottery". Since testing each chip would be an expensive and laborous thing to do at the factory they rather go safe and set a lower clock for stability. The 45 nm RSX can handle higher clocks but Sony wouldn't do that to maintain the same level of performance for all users. I am not a PS3 expert but if there is a way to increase the RSX voltage slightly his 850 MHz overclock would become stable. It is a trial and error process and as long as the chip is at a safe temperature (I would guess something less than 75c? NVIDIA uses 83c nowadays then it is safe to proceed).
These OCs don’t even touch voltage. People can’t seem to understand that. These PS3 OCs do not touch voltage. It is locked away and modders can’t increase or lower it.
@@ConsoleKingRepair If you don't do the voltage mod on frankie and run the 40nm on 1.2v you will probably be able to get it stable at 950mhz or even more, but it will die because of overvoltage 😢
I’m here chilling at 950 core 1000 memory lol. And by the way it doesn’t reduce its life span at all. It will have the same life span as stock. Voltage isn’t increased at all. Heat kills not frequencies. The 40nm is so efficient and has such great yields it won’t hurt it at all. Now Increasing voltage is what starts hurting chips and it would have to be tons of extra voltage.
Tons of Extra Voltage to start Damaging RSX? Lmao, bro you sounds to know nothing, 450mhz it's Insane Level of Overclocking for an Based 500mhz chip it's nearly 100% Overclock, Your GPU will not last as much as normal not even close, The People who do crypto mining with their GPU and do Overclock on Memory has their GPU Super Cold with fans on Max speed and super open case, their Gpus works at 45c and even though their GPU dies after 2 years.
@@VictorHugoAlvarez-eternelymiss That's down to power delivery, those GPU's aren't dead, the cards have burned out components.

Nice video. Looks like 800 core is the limit for this frankie. Next, you need to also overclock the memory of the RSX to get additional performance. Since you have a 40nm RSX, you can go straight to 900 MHz memory, that is the baseline OC for all 40nm RSXs. Don't go for 1000 MHz, it's very easy to brick the PS3.
Yea I heard that’s what caused most bricks overclocking wise. 1000 is the cutoff for the memory, but I want this thing to run games smoothly as possible, so I’ll have to try to experiment with memory clocks next.
@@ConsoleKingRepairIt's risky when you try to go past the 900 MHz mark but lot of the performance really comes from the mem clocks, as many PS3 games do a lot of data swapping between XDR and GDDR3 pools.
Yep - you just let chips run beyond the specification they where designed for. Trade-off of a tad more heat, power and the pro's are usually higher clocks and thus a bit better performance. But OC'ing these days is dead anyways.
The 40nm can reach higher speeds because the lower the process technoltthe lower the power consumption is , and Sony didn't change the PSU for a lower power one so its got more power to play around with
The process node as part of fabs over time gets better - so where 90nm used to be the norm, they found ways to make the same chip on 40nm - the advantages are lower power at the same clocks, or higher clocks at the same power. Usually out of compatibility they opt for same clocks because some games do rely on the internal clockspeeds and not OC'ed or boosted ones. The PSU rating does not say anything about how much the GPU can use; it's up to the VRM's that supply the power to the GPU - they are stepdown converters (usually 12V to 1.1V or so) and they are limited in how much (peak) current they can provide.
4:03 that's because Skyrim didn't use the whole cores from the cell cpu It has 9 cores and Skyrim only use few of them Only way to fix is by somehow making a patch or by overclocking the cpu
The CELL has 8 SPEs, and only 7/8 were activated with all PS3s. The reason for this, is to increase yields of CELLS during the time, not all 8 SPEs would function with every CELL. Anyway, if you do have a CELL that has all 8 functioning SPEs, I do not believe you can use it.
@@gnrtx-36969 SPEs are not cpu cores at all. They are more like extra gpu processors. They are used for offloading gpu processing tasks from the gpu. They are very helpful with AA, physics and lighting processing, and simutation tasks. Skyrim runs badly on the ps3 due to cpu limitations of the PS3 since the PS3 cpu is a one core dual threaded PPC cpu. Also, split ram doesn't help with Skyrim, and you don't get the full 256 mb of system ram on the ps3 for games. On 360, you get shared 512 mb for games that is shared. Also, 360 cpu has more cores and it's gpu is a bit nicer and faster than the rsx.
Plus Im pretty sure skyrim was running out of memory on ps3. Ps3 doesnt have unified memory unlike xbox360. Its a miracle that skyrim runs on a 256mb system memory.
I'm sure it can take even 0.2v as a increase as long as the temps are kept below 60 degree. Perhaps a Ghz core clock is possible too, but i suspect the memory bandwidth is just low. There's barely any increase going from 500 to 750Mhz - in todays standard you should be able to see at least 10% improvement - this is barely a few percent extra.
I've only tried 750 MHz on my "B" Phat Model and really saw the improvement, but it ramped up fan speeds quicker. Decided it wasn't worth the risk shortening the lifespan of such coveted models and went back to stock speeds. I'll gladly try again when I get a Non-BC, CFW-compatible model.
Try this with some kind of water cooling. The CPU and GPU are cooking at over 100 Fahrenheit..! Just water coolant and you'll see a whole jumping performance.
Water cooling actually would help keep higher OC stable. Since the PS3 clock speeds at high enough frequencies become sensitive to higher temps. It likes to stay at 55 or below to keep stable high OCes.
That's actually not that hot for components. On PC, GPUs regularly hit 80C without issues. That's 176 degrees. It's not likely you could eke out much more performance on the RSX without increasing the core voltage. I doubt the temps are the bottleneck.
Skyrim is a heavy CPU game (on pc anyway) so that could explain why overlocking the GPU didn't do much. that was a really interesting video. Also, I don't think you GPU was in danger at any point. Those artifacts looked like some stuff you can get when not getting enough power to a GPU so probably a voltage thing. My knowledge is based on PC hardware so it might be a little bit different
800 seemed like a sweet spot tbh. Id be tempted to try and do this but see how far i can drop from 800 until i notice a significant difference as the jump from 750 to 800 yielded very impressive results. Is it increments of 5mhz ? Perhaps 780. Would be dope to try and improve the cooling solution as well! Wouldnt mind having an overclocked PS3 to go back and play Killzone 2 and the resistance series, Uncharted as well that looked so smooth
The GPU and VRAM overclocking is already solved. The only problem is how to overclock that Cell cpu. Someone says that there is some resistor controlling that but for 100% to be sure it isn't the right thing. Clock multiplier happens right after you power on the ps3, almost a whole second befor a bootloader. There must to be some ROM that tells the cpu at which speed needs to start. There is no multiplier changes in kernel what so ever so for now, it is most likely not possible to overclock it. There is also a small problem, if you'll be able to change that mulitplier somehow, you will definitely overcome the speed of EIB and the whole system will be unstable as hell or not working at all because PS3 actually does not feature in the cpu the frequency deviders, sort of..they are there but they drive most basic stuff like ethernet, usb, storage etc.. but the rambus system ram and Cell cpu itself via that EIB runs at fixed frequency so if you mess up one, you'll mess up every other one. GPU overclocking is quite simple but the CELL OC isn't that straight forward as overclocking your intel or amd cpu... if someone be able to change cpu multiplier, it will definitely change all the other frequencies but you need to raise a voltage as well. The theoreticall maximum was set to 3.5GHz on the stock heatsink but nobody in the world overclocked it yet.. maybe i'm wrong but that's all what i have heard... if you OC the Cell cpu only, you'll mess up EIB and bye because there are no deviders for the EIB inside that cpu. They are running at fixed frequency which is half of the CPU core frequency, 3.2 and 1.6GHz, so there is 100% for sure only the fixed devider and that's all.. and this really sucks because you can't simply overclock the CPU only, the cpu will be much faster than EIB so it will actually start to " skip " the clocks and your system will be unstable or not working at all
@@ConsoleKingRepair Just take a step back and watch the video, horrible explanation on overclocking. i know what a frankie is but if you want to attract new people a explanation on this would have been better than discussing what overclocking is. Alot of nostalgia so just showing two games is not okay. Like im thinking damn how does motorstorm run with a safe overclock can we get stable 30? or what does it take. Now that will keep engadgement going.
Youre using a 0.95v voltage mod, for stable performance, swapping it back to original 1.2v may result in stable performance? P.S it needs memory overclock since PS3's are choking on memory bandwidth.
Hello brother, have you found the clock speeds that Ps3 Max can go? If you know, can you do game tests? For example, The Last Of Us, Uncharted 2.3 Gta V, Killzone 2.3 Beyond Two Souls or any games you want to make, I would appreciate it.
Try Out Dark Souls 2, this game is Capped at 60FPS but runs usually at 20-30FPS would be more interesting, testing games that are really held back by Software or Hardware limitations
Skyrim didn't get a boost because it's more CPU intensive. You would need to OC the CELL CPU. but I don't think it's possible yet, we need people to work on this
Did you know Naughty Dog was able to take the Cell cpu and make it do rendering tasks freeing up the RSX to do more. This is how they were able to make The Last Of Us look as good as it was on the PS3. It was reported that they used the entire PS3 power in that game. Imagine what they could have pulled off with a RSX clock boost.
i used a lot of thermal goop on all the chips between the shield around the caps around the tantums around the memory and top shelf paste and its LOW temp :) id try this
I think you’re drastically overestimating over clockings detrimental effect on hardware. I’d be curious to see how high the GPU core could clock with voltage unlocked
@@ConsoleKingRepair - Respect ! I have CECHL04 65nm RSX. I scalped the CPU and GPU and used liquid metal from China called LT-100. I use Evilnat 4.90 OC 600/750. Cooling manually set to 30%. At a room temperature of 20 degrees, the console never showed 70 degrees Celsius. The vast majority of games are 58-62 degrees Celsius on the RSX. The record was 69 degrees Celsius after over an hour in Crysis. I could beat them (temp) even more, but I value silence more. I have a question. Is there any point in overclocking it more and do I need to update Evilnat to 4.91 so that the console can withstand overclocking better ?
If you ever redo it with all the tips from the comments, please try it on Drakengard 3. This game runs like ass, even if you set it to 480p. It coulr be a good benchmark
The soldering can hold up to 200 degrees - does not mean the internal of the chip can last up to 200. It will likely fry itself. A GPU running at 60 degrees reported is usually 90 to 100 inside. That's why you see AMD chips for example having hot spot sensors - they measure the hottest parts inside the core so you have a better understanding of what the actual temperature is.

It is 600 mhz GPU and 750 mhz RAM speeds.
Hello brother, have you found the clock speeds that Ps3 Max can go? If you know, can you do game tests? For example, The Last Of Us, Uncharted 2.3 Gta V, Killzone 2.3 Beyond Two Souls or any games you want to make, I would appreciate it.
I’ll try to find an RSX that can go higher. Thanks for watching 🙂
Maybe This PS3 Is Vram 775
idea: give it more juice and a wild heat sink. with the right environment, I wanna see how far we can push this frito lay over the edge
at the ending is basically how my lenovo laptop caused after running gta v at max settings
750MHz core was not bad at all for a frankie !
Try Out Dark Souls 2, this game is Capped at 60FPS but runs usually at 20-30FPS would be more interesting, testing games that are really held back by Software or Hardware limitations
I noticed a profile on the PS3 named Yukimura Sanada-
Sengoku Basara reference?!
I’m about to have a fucking aneurism… FLIP OVER THE DAMN PS LOGO
Agora estamos falando! OVerclocking show
sim!
blud uses fahrenheit as temperature monitoring unit 😭🗿😭😭😭😭😭
what is wrong with Fahrenheit?
@@aname-kg3cb I dunno how what to do with Fahrenheit (like most people here)
@@aname-kg3cbCelsius is cleaner , more obvious what the heat should be
Skyrim didn't get a boost because it's more CPU intensive. You would need to OC the CELL CPU. but I don't think it's possible yet, we need people to work on this
nice video! I agree the ps3 was more capable than it what it was able to do
Did you know Naughty Dog was able to take the Cell cpu and make it do rendering tasks freeing up the RSX to do more. This is how they were able to make The Last Of Us look as good as it was on the PS3. It was reported that they used the entire PS3 power in that game. Imagine what they could have pulled off with a RSX clock boost.
I hear you can even uncap the frame-rate for the ps3 version, imagine this with overclocks.
so can you play ps4 games on ps3 by over clocking?
I'm your 600th sub
Thanks man!
@@ConsoleKingRepair holy man how did u gain 48 subs in 6 hours 😭
@@testyhat Idek man 😅 this has been crazy!
i used a lot of thermal goop on all the chips between the shield around the caps around the tantums around the memory and top shelf paste and its LOW temp :) id try this
Just make sure to use lower clock settings if so 😅
I have a slim... and Skyrim has NEVER stuttered like that during the opening.
Maybe something to do with the BC models, not sure.
"Skyrim had terrible optimizations for PS3". You can switch any platform and nearly any Bethesda game there and still works.
Skyrim, was made for the 360 first.. & ported to PC, & PS3...
I think you’re drastically overestimating over clockings detrimental effect on hardware. I’d be curious to see how high the GPU core could clock with voltage unlocked
Best way to make bbq with out needing to use coal
thats what a G01 is used for
what's the highest you can overclock a ps3's gpu?
1ghz
Never heard of 90nm or 40nm ps3 before
What program/application did you use to get that overlay?
I'm mostly interested in it for the temps.
WebMAN mod
@@ConsoleKingRepair Ok, I'll check it out.
Thank you.
Time for the liquid nitrogen
Before watching the video I bet the voltage is an issue. Imagine if we could make a custom one for better OC’s plus a water cooler would be insane
We just figured out how to change core voltage through Syscon 🧑🍳
@@ConsoleKingRepair Link? Update on the voltage mode thing?
Overclock a 90nm when it can't even handle the base speed without becoming crispy
Maybe if we could over clock the memory too
Liquid cooling!
Might have to do this
Ps5 next??
Fucking with internal/board and coding is alot different
You should have tried Sonic Unleashed That game has a unlocked FPS and the game usually runs at 30-40fps Still Impressive Tho!
Can you make PS2 overclocking thanks you
I can see if I can, worth a try if that’s possible!
@@ConsoleKingRepair oh, thanks you, Gradius V first boss intro in PS2 is very laggy
Just froze, not broke.
Is it a bad idea to mod CFW 4.91 Evilnat and add 1TB internal SSD full of PS2 games to a Franky?
@@johng1316 naw, just make sure the ssd works well with the ps3. The Samsung ssds work well for example.
40nm!? Damn, this thing was not prepared well for cooling even back then.
You should've seen the original GPU this thing was rocking! 90nm!
I didn't know that the first versions of PS3 FAT had a newer 40nm chip.
Hey don’t, i put a 40nm on it👍
They*
@@ConsoleKingRepair - Respect !
I have CECHL04 65nm RSX. I scalped the CPU and GPU and used liquid metal from China called LT-100. I use Evilnat 4.90 OC 600/750.
Cooling manually set to 30%. At a room temperature of 20 degrees, the console never showed 70 degrees Celsius.
The vast majority of games are 58-62 degrees Celsius on the RSX. The record was 69 degrees Celsius after over an hour in Crysis.
I could beat them (temp) even more, but I value silence more.
I have a question. Is there any point in overclocking it more and do I need to update Evilnat to 4.91 so that the console can withstand overclocking better ?
Overclock a 3ds Next please
HMMM
the fact that bro's overclocking a frankie ☠
😭
If you ever redo it with all the tips from the comments, please try it on Drakengard 3. This game runs like ass, even if you set it to 480p. It coulr be a good benchmark
What I can't handle with the PS3 is the screen tearing.
"evilnat" 💀
You should test with God of war 3 to see how much improvement there is.
Good idea! I’ll have to make another video about this. Some 40s can even reach 900MHz core clock, so GOW3 would probably run smooth.
@@ConsoleKingRepairGod of War Ascension is what really needs to be tested. That game runs very rough on PS3.
i think my ps3 has a 40 nm rsx so is it okay to overclock it for 5 or 6 fps boost??
I used to play on my PS3 almost 247 from 2010 to 2014 🥲 mostly playing call of duty and little big planet games
it freezes because it doesn't have enough power and it won't explode if it recieves the same amount of power
I still have my launch PS3. Wish I could get it fixed so I can fire up my PS2 discs on it again.
Does it have YLOD?
@@ConsoleKingRepair It got YLOD back in 2007.
@@OGTripleTriple Bruh
@@OGTripleTriple We offer a Frankie service if you ever want to get if fixed, Im almost sure its the RSX.
@@ConsoleKingRepair Damn, too bad there's no option a Frankie for the neighbor country up north.
The chip can hold 200°
So, if you are at 95° or 105° then you have nothing to worry
The soldering can hold up to 200 degrees - does not mean the internal of the chip can last up to 200. It will likely fry itself. A GPU running at 60 degrees reported is usually 90 to 100 inside. That's why you see AMD chips for example having hot spot sensors - they measure the hottest parts inside the core so you have a better understanding of what the actual temperature is.
I do kind of wonder how Sonic Unleashed would fare with the overclock
Have tried it with 750/950 still Frame drops to 19 only 850/950 can save you
"Uncharted : Drake's fortune" 💀💀💀💀
Uncharted's main character is drake..
I mean few devs actually optimized for that system, its actually more powerful than these games make it seem.
Anything said not to do this, some people still do it anyways.
switch your hdd with a ssd to help fps drop
