PS3 4.81 OVERFLOW CFW Collection ( Standard CEX / NO-BD / COBRA 7.3 / DualBoot) v1.00

@Bobby_Downgrades. off topic again but was looking at a few ceramic white ps3s for sale on feebay and wanted your input here before i make my purchase. is there a certain console that is more desirable? i see my options are between an 80 gb or a 40 gb model, are both the same? are either of them bc? i noticed they both only seem to have 2 usb ports so these are nor model ps3s correct? just want to be sure i can downgrade after purchase. i already have two phat black ps3s one a nand and one a nor, so if i absolutely had to i could swap in one of those mb, im basically buying it for the case alone. its a shame that i cant just get a shell replacement like with the slim 2k and 3k series. thanks

40GB is NAND non BC CECH-G. Don't buy it. Or CECH-H - nor, this one is ok but 65nm/90nm.

CECH- K/L/M is 80 GB and is nor with 65nm on cell and rsx. Some people say is better that CECH-200X due to better cooling (but 200X have 45nm CELL).

All that only if... HDD is original, remember always check CECH, not HDD capacity.
 
These are all japanese used boxed units. to my knowledge they are all original, just not new. thanks for the info kozzy
 
@kozarovv does the 80 gb model have the memory card slots like my cecha01 model does?, i am doubtful bc of it only having 2 usb ports. i was thinking of taking my a01 apart and swapping the housings out, ill dremel any necessary slots out of the case, or was thinking of doing a permanent e3 or teensy install and installing it to under that door like ive seen done before. would be awesome to have a dual boot system like that.
 
@nCadeRegal

Kozarovv pretty much summed it up,

Of the models I own I use the DECH-J the most, this model I find produces the best temperature without having thermal paste underneath the ihs plates removed,it lives between 28 and 35 degrees,
(although many would argue that a CECH-J models gpu is not good)
where as the cech-2003 slim I have lives between 46 and 55 degrees,
I have worked on many ps3s over the years and there's one thing that is very clear,
If you get a good console and take care of it, it doesn't matter about model number,
it depends more on the individual console,
(some fats are better than slims and some slims are better than fats)
only thing is ask yourself if you want bc model or not,
I would advise you to ask the sellers what temperature the console gets to after 60 mins of being on and what sort of fan control that is with (if any), the answer to those questions can help you know if it is a good console or not.
(providing the seller tells the truth :p)
Also as Kozarovv said stay away from CECH-G, that is the only model I would say that about but they are made poorly in design.
 
Cech-L are hell touchy too. Fan control bug and other minor issues that don't seem to exist on other models.

Mine runs Hot (70+), but quiet (on syscon fan controller) and has done for several years without issue.

I've owned it since New though as I only bought it for otheros originally when the slims started to surface. (Thanks Sony for ripping me of the main reason I purchased it)...

I am on darknet cobra right now...its working fine other than the cinavia fix i just learned that is not included in the FW...I am just wondering does this overflow cobra CFW seem to be the most stable cobra FW available at the moment that also includes the cinavia fix? I didn't see any others that have it. Any advice is appreciated

From the feature list:
Cinavia protection disabled both disc and hard drive
 
From the feature list:

I did see that already. My question was more if everyone's experience with this CFW is also stable? ps1, ps2 games work, etc?... Just don't want to lose features such as those to gain the cinavia fix. Just basically trying to find the best cobra flavor of CFW at the moment with the most useful features.
 
Can't get multiman to play backups anymore but it worked on ferox 4.81 cfw does anyone know a fix for this

u might try webman mod. I'm not on 4.81. I'm using 4.80 rebug currently. mm can patch games below to 4.20. the patch doesn't require the self/sprx to be an elf/prx, which is y it's fixable without issue. I'm not sure what's happening with ur issue.
 
@Sheldon
Problems with multiman?
"I cannot play backups, do you know a fix?" is not sufficient information for us to help... [emoji5]️

I assume you are using this Overflow CFW? Which one? Cobra? What version of multiman? Is multiman in Cobra mode (mmCM)?
What kind of backups are we talking about? iso or JB? Where are they located, internal or external?And what is the problem exactly? Listing games? Mounting games? Launching games?

If on Standard CFW, make sure to enable BD-Emulator at bottom of multiman settings column, then reboot the PS3.
If on Cobra CFW, it should automatically switch to mmcm (MultMan Cobra Manager), but check anyway to make sure in multiman column (on the very left) it doesn't say "switch to mmCM mode". If it does, click it to get back to mmcm.
