Frankie Update: All finished and put back together! Everything works!
So excited I finally got everything working after a year on and off of trying to get BGA work down. I'm also just so excited with how the case turned out after a deep clean and a polish. Also, realizing I totally forgot to take a picture post tantalizer install :/.
Something interesting to note, I've done 2 systems now, both had error 1200 multiple times as well (cell overheating) from using insufficient heat sinks during initial testing of RSX replacement. Both also had the fan curves seemingly automatically adjusted in the eeprom to spin at full speed on stage 0 and 1. I haven't read about this anywhere else before, but I had to rewrite the fan curve via syscon UART to get the fans to stop going completely full blast on boot, as it didn't seem to reset itself after extended testing to the original curve.
System Info
- 40nm RSX
- RSX VDDR reduced to 0.95V w/ 'sony' method
- Custom Fan curve via Syscon
- Cell/RSX delid
- All new thermal pads
- All NEC/Tokin caps replaced with RIPFelix tantalizers
