This $400 PS3 should NOT be legal... 

Pretty sweet word of the day.

yes! i'd like to have Other OS for that price though

Honestly, I would. Might look a bit tacky on the outside but it was executed pretty nicely inside.

If I had money

No

Bro we are in the matrix i was like whatttttt lol

fr i thought my wifi was acting up

i thought

also, sony limits the fan of the ps3 so it doesnt make that much noise, if you remove that limit or change it the ps3 will sound like a jet but wont overheat

i think it lowers the lifespan of the fan, i get my 2006 ps3 running on 39% and my cbu always at 66%

@@byee I mean, using the fan lowers its lifespan but I prefer to have a working console that I need to replace a fan then a dead rsx that is much harder to replace

@@shy_doge i agree

Or… just take it apart and do custom fans. EZPZ.

One day I’ll attempt a delid, just don’t feel like breaking a console right now lol

@@jrob0021 its not too risky, u will need to use the correct materials to do the delid. I cant remember what people exactly used but i believe it was a flat utensil for dentist that is lengthy enough to cut through the adhesive. I am not entirely sure tho as it has been a long time. learnt the tip from NSC modz on youtube i think.

@@helloimuzumakikira1 i know some people use dental floss, others use palette knives NSC used to also sell these knives that he apparently had make specifically for delidding but i'm not sure if he still does

I should delid my fat PAL 80GB console as it definitely has dried paste under its CPU IHS. Just too scared to do that even though I've delidded some PC CPUs before.

practice on dead board first lol, i broke about 5 ps3s doing this for the first time 😭 @@jrob0021

Thanks for watching! Anything specific you’d like to see in the future?

@@jrob0021 A Halo 3 360 Edition? Also love your videos btw! Hope to see what brings the Hampton Haul series!

Agreed. I just discovered this channel about a month and a half ago, and I'm loving the content.

@@jrob0021 limited edition Xbox Ones with logos of Russian FCs on them (4 types of them were made 5 years ago)

Not really! I've always been curious on how the first gen ps3s and 360s handled games like GTA V and the last games of that era. But thats about it, keep up the great work!

yeah not by far was the stock the best, this blows the cooling of the stock setup away...

Gotcha thanks! 👍

That's a good pro tip

Yeah that woulda been nice haha

back in the days (ps3 era) 3D printing wasn't a thing

yes because everybody has a 3d printer laying around. people work with what they had and the guy had some random parts that may help. alot of places dont have air conditioning and being a pc owner for over 20 years. cooling can make or break a system. and keeping max temps down even just a little can really make the life of the parts alot longer. also not everyone is skilled with tools or has tools or a workshop to do this kind of stuff. i recently did a crazy idea like this with my computer and couldnt be happier. i have a 240mm radiator that didnt fit inside of the case my 120mm aio died. so i strapped the 240mm on the back on the outside for a while to work till i planned my mod. finally had enough of it looking terrible and i used the side panel without the window to mount the radiator. now my pc looks like some crazy scifi heat vent and it pulls air out of the case to cool but the heat is all outside of the case and cant get back in. i have modded things for me and for friends for years like this and its always worth it. with a crazy enough mind and enough random materials laying around you can actually use your pc for a space heater in the winter and in the summer send all of the hot air out of your room or your house whichever is easier.

@@chehystpewpur4754 just put it in a fridge?

@@SoyAntonioGaming yeah ha ha very funny. your computer or console would short in a few mins moisture bro. go try it. i used to put my pc in my window when it was below zero outside just to get the highest possible score on benchmarks when i got new hardware. even in short spurts it would get moisture all over anything warm.

I don't think that's true, because the fan blades are situated to move the air in the same directions whether you mod the case or not, just with better air intake. If these consoles were were airtight, vacuum sealed, etc, then I'd agree you would have major problems, but they're simply not.

​@@Scott-M1One thing is when you add an air intake area it can redirect or slow down the internal air flow if done incorrectly like keeping the side off a computer case.

That's just his brain lagging in real time. Happens to the best of us.

Fr fr

Booter did mine!

@@Kief_ same with mine haha! was lucky to get a new old stock chip in it last year

@@BlakeBowes sweet! Did you go 40 or 65nm? I get all my games from Booter now as well.

About how much does that service cost?

@@devynmac7481 650. Includes a ton of work for the cost tbh. Well freakin worth it

This is the true answer

The intercooler is probably making thermals worse tbh

@@jrob0021 OK good to know thanks

Yea I know

PS3 ylod is the same fuckup as xbox rrod: engineers which did not take the classes necessary to know that the design will fail due to improper materials... designed chips for the fab (tsmc) which produced that green assembly with a chip glued&soldered on even with high fan speeds that crappy old gpu (or your fan) will fail at some point, only solution is to put in a slim gpu from a donor and modify the console accordingly (was also sonys method)

Do it by your self it’s not that hard just watch a RU-vid video.

I heard they have some in the Eifel tower

​@@Mutter_Futtermaybe he doesnt have the propper stuff to mod one.

Maybe you should be paying attention to class while in school.

@@StageRight123 I meant in the free time not in classes🤦‍♂️

I guess I’ll take that as a compliment? Haha

​@@jrob0021you're pretty observant and knowledge, i think that's what they were trying to say haha

for the last few decades of people saying console is beating pc gaming and that the pc gaming would disappear eventually, how the turn table when you realize console gaming is being converged/assimulated into pc hardware industry. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

nah fr LOL I told people when the Ps5/Series X came out bro next gen is probably just gonna be PC tbh since those two machines are practically medium-highend gaming pcs in a sense@@ManomiiFox

@@ManomiiFox I've never heard anyone ever say that lol. If I did I would simply laugh at them. Only people who would say that is console owners who don't own a gaming PC.

Yes it is lol, there are pretty massive gaps around the fan

No you’re right lol, the console was packaged outside of the box because it didn’t fit in the box

Some of the frankenstein mod guys list delidding and replacing TIM as mandatory part of the mod required for warranty.

External power supply could definitely be interesting here 🧐

there is an external power supply mod using a pc power supply the other much simpler option is to use the power supply from the later fat ps3's that run at almost half the wattage then the original.

That’s exactly how my 60GB CHECA died. It’s still in my closet collecting dust

@@christophervanzetta Yup. Same. Long ago, I paid $300 for it used only for it to yellow-light on my after four months. One of my most regretful tech purchases I've had. Compared to a $20 untested original Xbox... that has been a reliable tank.

@@MetallicBlade How can you compare an 6th generation OG Xbox and a 7th generation early PS3? They aren't even in the same console generation. Of course the OG Xbox is more reliable because it's under less load with far less complexity. Mine was very reliable too until the disc drive quit. Notice how you almost never see any Xenon, Falcon or Zephyr Xbox 360's anymore? It's because they are all long gone from the Red Ring. Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 had issues at the start of the 7th console generation but the difference is that there are still launch model PS3's that work and you can buy. Sure it's not common, but try to find a working launch model Xenon 360. It's almost impossible because of the *over 50% failure rate.* The PS3 was a far more reliable console than the 360 throughout it's entire lifespan and that's just a fact. You just got unlucky.
