So if you freeze frame at 0:28, you can see what I'm talking about. You have to tear the controller down all the way to when it looks like that and on the side it'll have gold text that says what controller model you have!
great video ive been so indecisive when it comes to picking out a controller and i just purchased a envision pro and idk ive been so used to bumper jumper that idek whats good anymore :(
The whole buying lower TDP parts because of the electric bill rhetoric is so stupid, you save maybe a dollar or two a month and sacrifice a lot of performance. As for the heat output, if you buy appropriate cooling for said higher TDP components then you can afford this, unless you’re going mini ITX
@@Boofski again, those points are fair, however heat generated by these component's doesn't just go away when they're cooled off. It gets dumped into your room. Not to mention you have two options: overkill expensive cooling OR loud fans and poor thermal performance. Lastly, there is no excuse for the i9 14900k only being able to match the 7800x3d but using 2x the power. It's not that big of a concern but again literally no one talks about it, and no one seems to care. More wattage = more better is outdated and dumb and I wish more people could see it that way.
@@WestinEast the 14900k outperforms the 7800x3d by a lot, you know there’s more you can do with a PC than just gaming right? The 14900k has 3 times the cores so of course it has a higher wattage, and the max wattage used is far from being 2 times as high I don’t know where you got that number.
@@angelovercetti67 pretty good, although it turns out overclocking has become much more in depth recently and I most likely can push it further. But even just the small overclock means games run at 60 or 30 without dropping except for in a few instances. Also, both the CPU and GPU stay under 100f or around 33c the entire time while gaming. Thanks for watching!
@@Sonic-ky4xh there are a few reasons not to use one, but there are also plenty of reasons to just go for it. While it's probably not optimal or long term - this is the ultimate ps3
no you dont if you was smar too jail break your ps3 you can play any ps2 games on my ps3 slim i jail break i been playing nothing but ps3 and ps3 games
@@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
@@WestinEast I do have a few slims and one super slim... but I'd like to recover the photos and game save files off this particular ps3.. it has been down since 2010.is there a way to extract those files? it doesn't matter the cost really, I get it, it takes time to fix.
You still forgot to replace the caps, you also didnt get enough air flow so your VRM for Cell and RSX will cook up and also no airflow for IC and syscon, at least get some aluminum heatsinks for VRM and other compoments.
This probably should be obvious, but once you've got it written to your usb-c drive, how do you install it? I've tried booting the bios but it doesn't show up as an option to boot from even after using Rufus to create the Bootable drive.
@@ashleyvirginia8449 typically it will show up in boot options and you'll boot into the windows installer. See if Rufus might've messed up, try formatting the drive and redoing it. Sometimes all these things are finicky and annoying but after a while you should get it!
Omg you've made a frankstain PS3 !!! this is cool, however i own an slim version in most cases it's doing it's job fine considering that i don't play that much of a video game these days, maybe some Resistance and some games i didn't finish at that era but, nothing more than that so, yeah but this is cool these fat PS3s need alot of cooling if u wanna play for a long period of time
this is the SSD i got for my ps3 : Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T3B0A does it have dram? I'm having texture popin problems
@@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.
@@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.
you should totally do this whole thing again with a slim lol. also you can customize the overclock and a few other things with ps3mfw-builder of github, you can create your own firmware with it. my slim can easily push 700/800 rsx/vram oc with little temp difference, im definitely tempted to push it further but wow did i hit a kind of gold mine when i bought this thing.
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).
@@RicardoRamosRetrocomputacao yeah emulation is a solution but its nothing like having the real thing. Also, I had it frankenstiened (I said it in the video) by my friend @ConsoleKingRepair! He has a channel and you can get his service on eBay, its the best price I can find :)
@@CeceliPS3 Take the opportunity to buy a lottery ticket. And give some comfort to the other millions around the world who lost their consoles shortly after the warranty expired.
@@RicardoRamosRetrocomputacao I must be on a different universe then because here I see many people with PS3s that just work in 2024. Another argument is that if PS3s are dying left and right, they wouldn't be getting more expensive. They work. People are buying. And they're playing just fine, after all these years. If PS3s were dying, no one would want to buy them.
