Selling several backwards compatible PS3 consoles from my collection. Every single console has been fully disassembled and cleaned, including shell, motherboard, metal shield, fan and heatsink. IHS on Cell/RSX are carefully removed and fresh thermal paste (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) is applied. All consoles are thoroughly tested with PS2 CD/DVD and PS3 BD discs, they can read all discs without any issue. Latest custom firmware and webman mod installed to control fan speed and temperature under 60C/140F all the time. Syscon error logs are dumped and checked with ps3toolset, no sign of failing RSX/capacitor can be found. All consoles are stress tested with The Last of Us (most demanding PS3 game) for 2 hours, no overheat/shutdown observed. Furthermore, all consoles have very low total power on time recorded, ranging from 2-50 days. With power on hour this low and temperature kept under 60C/140F, these consoles will surely last a very long time.
Total power on time recorded in syscon:
- CECHA01 - 1: 60GB, 39 days, 545/507 on/off, new laser, new RTC battery, liquid metal
- CECHA01 - 2: 60GB, 23 days, 327/293 on/off
- CECHE01 - 1: 80GB, 32 days, 613/598 on/off, new BD drive
- CECHE01 - 2: 80GB, 62 days, 634/593 on/off, new laser, new RTC battery
- CECHE01 - 3: 80GB, 50 days, 540/520 on/off, NEC/Tokin capacitor replaced
- CECHC04: 60GB, 52 days 823/782 on/off
- CECHA00 - 1: 60GB, 49 days, 1134/1029 on/off, new BD drive
- CECHA00 - 2: 60GB, 2 days, 20/18 on/off, comes with original box
*Note:
- CECHA and CECHE: CECHA has full ps2 hardware built in (EE+GS, RAMBUS memory) so it has better compatibility with PS2 games. CECHE has PS2 GS chip built in, EE chip is emulated by software, so it may have some issues with certain PS2 games (around 15-20 games in total). Since EE chip is emulated in CECHE model, it does produce sharper and cleaner upscaled images in PS2 games compared with CECHA model.
- CECHA00 and CECHA01: CECHA00 is Japan launch model and CECHA01 is North America launch model. Hardware wise they are exactly the same (both have full PS2 hardware built in), but in official firmware PS2/PS1 games are region locked. With custom firmware, all region locks are removed and they can play PS1/PS2/BD/DVD from any region.
All consoles come with:
- 1x Power cable
- 1x HDMI cable
- 1x Micro USB cable
- 1x Official SONY controller (DS3 or Sixaxis)
I also have many official controllers available, If you want more let me know.
Thanks for viewing and please message me if you have any question.
