I only ever owned a Super Slim model, so yea I would appreciate seeing a teardown of that system too.

Earlier this year my friend gave away his overheating PS3 slim. The overheating was pretty bad, 30 minutes of playing and it turns off. I took it apart, changed the thermal paste between the heat spreader and the heat sink. It helped slightly, I could play as long as I need, but the fan was roaring, driving everyone mad. I took it apart again, the new thermal paste was already dry after a few months of work! Checked the KZread, learned that you need to remove the heat spreaders and changed the thermal paste underneath. So I did, but instead of using thermal paste, I’ve applied gallium. Unfortunately you can only use it between the chips and the heat spreaders, because the heat sink is made of aluminum and gallium will corrode it. Now it works so silent, I can hardly hear the fan under the full load.

The PS3 slim is a classic design. Still using mine to this day.

This is fascinating stuff; I would love to see you do a tear down of the super slim.

Love your tear-ups, you are one of few who got the guts to delid the ps3 💪🏼

I had a PS3 slim. Great console. Would of liked if you had a side-by-side comparison of the fat PS3 to the PS3 slim - like you did with the PS1.

PS3 Slim 2001 is the very best because you can install full Rebug. My baby was just sitting gathering dust until PS3Xploit came out a few years ago and luckily I did not update it for a long time. So now it has a 500 GB SSD filled with titles and I cleaned the insides and applied new paste. Interestingly enough my PS3 Slim is 11 years old but the paste underneath the IHS is fine. I only applied paste on top of the heat spreader and I used MX4 compound. My temps are 55 Celsius on both CPU and GPU. I wonder if my Slim is a unicorn? I hear a lot of people say they get bad temps without delidding. I only cleaned it and applied new paste once in 11 years because the fan was slightly louder and now it is almost completely silent.

Can I have some help please? My original Xbox still turns on, disc drive spins, fans turn on... but either the logo half appears or a few pixels appear, or I get a black screen. I’m not sure what is the typical issue that creates that result, and I’ve opened the Xbox up and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

That's a DYN-001 motherboard, they have a 45nm Cell and 65nm RSX, after that revision they had 4 more board revisions for the ps3 slim, i have the JSD-001 board, sony shrinked the wifi module, moved the 5v rail connector to the PSU (rendering any previews PSU incompatible with the latest ps3 slim revisions), changed the cpu and gpu vcore caps from tantalum to aluminium polymer and the RSX was moved to a 40nm die and (as a dick move lol) they moved the BD connector to be undernead of the unit, it is really difficult to re attach but at the same time stopped the use of a popular BD emulator board that was been used to play BD iso files, then on the next board they changed the hdmi port to a cheaper one with the same pinout and arrangement but less support/ground pins, i noticed because i have to change my hdmi controller ic and port, component level repairs are possible on the ps3 but getting the exact parts is kind of difficult sometimes.

I had the Bluetooth module go bad on my superslim. I got it from a garage sale and when first turned it on I noticed the controllers were only work plugged in then I went to update the system software and it got stuck in a boot loop. Apparently when it upstates the software it has a Bluetooth module check and if it it's not good it will just never update

I think this is the best looking PS3

I have the ULTIMATE Ps3 Phat as in lasting the longest! Got it because its just the most beautyful console ever imo. Modelnumber is the CECHP04 wich is the last revision of the Phat before the move to the Slim so both the Cell Cpu and the RSX are on 65nm and it has the coolest and least Wattage Powersupply with plastic instead of metal housing from al of the phats wattage config: 140/252/256 Also I have put in the 19 Blade fan and extended the metal fan bracket holes for more airflow, also I have put in the better heatsink for the RSX from the older models instead of the less finned Aluminium one and I have replaced ALL of the NEC/TOKIN Caps with new high quality ones and I have both the CELL and RSX Delidded and using Noctua NT-H1 Thermal compound under and above the IHS and it runs CFW with the fan defaulted on the higher RPM payload and have made some holes with a dustfilter below the fan and have slightly raised the feet so it sits higher and I clean it out once a year it will probably one of the longest surviving Phats out there! (P.S No it doesn’t have Ps2 hardware but with its CFW can run most ps2 games decent)

Hey @Spawn Wave can we swap the 28nm RSX from the last super slim onto the slim mobo? The chips look like they all use the same size pcb for the gpu and ram chips
