The PlayStation 3 is heading towards its 18th birthday and even its newest revisions are 7 years old data minimum. Because of their age, PS3 systems should regularly be maintained with case and fan cleanings as well as replacing the aged thermal paste within to ensure optimal operation for continued use!

My friend I admire your persistence to upload videos for so many years. Bless you! When I get back to uploading again you will be the main reason.
You shall return to the uploads!
@@ArchadesGames It's inevitable!
Excellent!
Got my PS3 with the tax return in 2010. This video is going to be a huge help. Thanks for putting it together!
Which version, Phat or Slim?
@@ArchadesGames Slim, I believe. Mine was the 160 GB model, though I replaced the HDD with the 500 GB from my PS4 when I upgraded that console.
Nice!
Have you considered of getting a Frankenstein PS3? If you don't know what that is, its basically swapping the 90nm RSX to 65nm or the 40nm RSXs.
The cpu in the ps3 is a tank and can withstand high temperatures. The rsx specifically the launch rsx is defective because of poor underfill on the solder bumps. The only real fix for the ylod is to swap the 90nm rsx with a 65 or 40nm from a later model where the underfill problem was fixed
Thanx for the upload. That tool is awesome. I just ordered one. I use a low hour FAT model and an early Slim model both with custom firmware. I use my FAT for PS2 Games and early PS3 games and keep the fan speeds at 35%-40%. I use my Slim for all PS3 games, overclocked it slightly, and upped the fan speeds. I cant wait to delid them next week. I also have a modded PS2 but I'm like you where I'm gunna enjoy my FAT PS3 until it dies and make it a nice shelf piece.
Nice!
@@ArchadesGames I've been seeing liquid metal being used under the heatshield of the CPU and GPU with no issues which is wild
Let me know how it turns out of the Slim model. I've been hearing people say that the 40nm Slims cannot be delidded.
You did a great job on this video!
Seriously you were to the point and gave follow the correct information people need. You Probably want to put a warning advisory for people not to use the De-lid tour on the CPU tho.
About 2 weeks ago I got a white Japanese fat system I got it cleaned up with a terabyte hard drive. It's running great. Just wish I could delid the CPU cuz there is a clear 15° difference between it and the RSX. 😭
Thanks! I do say it isn't meant for the CPU in the video so hopefully the words are adhered to 😅
I hope an easy CPU tool is able to be made someday for that very reason. Thankfully, the CPU isn't prone to as many faults as the RSX.
Okay I swear I'm not trying to be a stickler. I just re-watched the entire scene where you were delided, you alluded to the CPU being much more difficult and they're being no special tool to do it, but no direct confirmation that this tool could not be used for it. Combine that with the piece of paper you held at the beginning that says "thank you for ordering of a PlayStation 3 RSX / GPU delid tool." And the websites calling it a " PlayStation 3 RSX / gpu de lid tool." You're going to have people try to use it on the GPU. Obviously this tool doesn't work on the GPU. But without explicit information of knowing it's basically fuse together, a lot of people I could try to use this..
I would just throw a little advisory in the comments or the information section or just add a little annotation during the video as a quick clear warning. Because even the website itself does not tell you to not use it on the GPU chip.
Again im a big fan of your videos, love your content, and i started watching you when you came out with the Sega Saturn pro controller.
@@ForeverWinter1812 Hello, It appears you are confusing something here. The RSX is the GPU. The CELL is the CPU.
@@ForeverWinter1812 you might watch the video again then and familiarize yourself with the difference between a CPU and a GPU
@@Mitchellc0123 dyslexia strikes again! Lol. My bad. The point still stands that they need to clearly illustrate "do not use on the CPU."
I've worked on 7 PS3s and safely delided the RSX chip on each.
Currently playing with a Japanese White CECHH fat with a 90nm GPU and 65nm CPU. And a Japanese White Slim CECH-25-B.
Nice, my PS3 cannot read Blurays, maybe I can fix it...but I have a PS4 for that.
Nice seeing this video.
Cfw/hen to still play the games at least :)
@@ArchadesGames Yes indeed.
If you're comfortable doing it yourself, you can disassemble your system, access the laser through your disc drive, and clean off the surface of the laser with a very gentle portion of alcohol. The alternative would be to replace the laser with another laser of the same model number as shown on the rear tag of your system or replace the entire disc drive. I had trouble with my previous laser in my PS3 reading DVDs about 3-4 months ago and took it upon myself to replace the laser by buying a replacement. Now my PS3 works as it should be working by reading games, Blu-rays, and DVDs normally.
@@Los_da_gamer Thank you for all the steps!
Any idea about a Kryosheet on the die?
(Super Slim, Powered down for over 2 years, thinking about getting the new Defender since the original controllers seem dead.)
For the heat a PS3 makes I wouldn't personally be comfortable using anything but paste. PS3 Defender is well worth it!
@@ArchadesGames Thank you for your opinion ice :)
Alternative solution. Ps3 slim and a cheap ps2 with ps2tohdmi adapter . BC ps3 and other fat ps3 are hotter because of bigger nm of cpu/gpu and ps2 hardware inside for bc concoles. They must be cleaned/repaste regularly
Missed the point of the video I see.
You can also just Frankenstein them - adding a 40NM chip pretty much negates all problems prolonging them for even longer.
I'm just wondering, will replacing the thermal paste on both the lid and the RSX reduce the frequent screen tearing you see in some PS3 games?
No that's from games being too demanding for the system.
@@ArchadesGames Ah, ok. Thanks!
@Archades Games I just bought the de-lidding tool. But, some people are saying that only 90nm and 65nm RSX chips can be de-lidded. The other 40nm chips are not possible to delid without ruining the board. (It could be bad info. I'm not sure.)
The creator said they have used it on all versions without issue. That's the only info I can share on that specifically since I have only used it on Phats so far
@@ArchadesGames Well, I just contacted the guy and asked him. I'd be surprised if it works on the 40nm and below, but we will see.
i have had a fat backwards compatible model for years, recently it started to turn off after about 3 seconds of running. Gonna try and do this to see if it helps
Is it a YLOD? If so That would require more than basic maintenance.
That sounds like Yellow light. Fixing that is much more complicated.
my Fat went pop 13 months after purchase doing an update
That blows
