This unit is running on 4.90 CFW, ready to deliver a fantastic gaming experience.

Key Features

65nm RSX Upgrade: Unlike its original 90nm RSX counterpart, this PS3 has transformed with a 65nm RSX + voltage mod, resulting in enhanced performance and improved cooling.

Leaded Solder Reball: Along with the 65nm RSX swap, the unit has been reballed with high-quality leaded solder balls, ensuring optimal connectivity and reliability.

Ultrasonic Cleaning The internal hardware of this console has undergone a meticulous ultrasonic cleaning process. Adding to both performance and aesthetics.

Tantalum Caps Upgrade: We've gone the extra mile by replacing the NEC-Tokin caps, as needed, with premium PS3 Tanalizers ensuring longevity and dependable performance.

Buffering and Scratch Removal: Cosmetic imperfections on this PS3 have been addressed (as best possible!) through meticulous buffering and scratch removal, ensuring a pristine exterior.

Produced domestically: Created by a PS3 enthusiast who actively contributes to the global community within this space. Working with the best and learning from the best.

This PS3 unit has been meticulously refurbished to address all the typical components that lead to the dreaded YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) issue. Thermal cycle testing and gameplay testing for over two weeks.

Questions & Answers (4)

  • Do you offer YLOD repairs? :) n*****e (447)7:42 am, Tue, 14 May Very soon I will be. I'll be reaching out to a trial group of people on the NZ Retro Gamers Facebook group in the first instance so join there if you're interested. julzd2 (138) • Tuesday, 14 May 2024
  • Can this be returned to original firmware? c*******x (261)8:33 am, Wed, 15 May Yes but you'd be region locked on ps2 games to NTSC playback and would lose your custom fan curve that keeps the unit cool. julzd2 (138) • Wednesday, 15 May 2024
  • So is the upgrades not enough in itself to keep the system cool without custom fan speed? Genuine question c*******x (261)9:07 am, Wed, 15 May The 65nm will run cooler than the 90nm so you'd likely be fine with the normal fan curve. I believe you can also possibly change the normal fan curve via syscon (which is where you program the 65nm stuff), this would allow you to have both original firmware and higher fan speeds. it's just not something I normally do. I'd be happy to look into it if the winner of the auction wanted that setup. julzd2 (138) • Wednesday, 15 May 2024
