    Little tutorial about PS3 jailbreaking would be really nice. Also information about downgrading would not hurt anyone. 🙂

    Manage the CPU and GPU temperature of your ps3: throw it in the trash and buy a pc

    • N says:

      PC’s CPU and GPU can over heat as well. They just use top quality thermal paster and have a better cooling fan.

    • lolwut says:

      uh yeah, tell me if PC can actually run Tales of Xillia, NOW.

    • JJonahJameson says:

      Stop shilling. This article has nothing to do with the PC. Throw yourself in the trash you annoying squawking parrot.

    I would make the title say “Manage the CPU and GPU temperature of your CFW ps3.” Adding “CFW” in the title would help with the negative comments.

    • JCK07115 says:

      Sorry what “negative comments”, as in plural, as stated by you. There was only one semi-negative, actually aggressive, comment and that was gnffj’s comment and I can’t say if this would have changed when you see this comment but as of now, only that one comment. And it is quite obvious that you can only run user-developed software on a hacked PS device unless you are using the PS SDK / PS Mobile Suite, I guess. But generally, that is what this site is for, Sony-hacking related issues. So I guess what I am saying is that your comment was sort of misplaced, no hard feelings.

        It is kinda misleading cause the super slims can’t have cfw considering this topic has a super slim advertised in the picture talking about cfw apps.

    • Memento says:

      I would have to agree with jlo138. I clicked on this because I thought it was a way monitor without the need of CFW. So it is misleading.

      Did anyone get the joke? /o\

    Can I make a tutorial on how to use Google and read the README.TXT that comes with downloads? I’d like to enter that in the contest since you seem to be rewarding people for doing just that

    • Sky Yuki says:

      Yeaaah
      You see there almost nothing to teach in this kind of tutorial

      This is just
      “How to install homebrew on PS3 and how to install program on computer”

      But of course
      There’s nothing more to teach either

    • wololo says:

      Feel free to enter the contest with your tutorials if you have better ones. Everyone can join. I see lots of people saying the tutorials are not good, that it’s easy money, yet I don’t see so many people actually entering. Maybe because writing these things in a clear and concise way is not as easy as you might think.

      • deathbydevice says:

        What about a fan control mod for the 2k-3k systems? I noticed not much on the web for them, as only the fat ones do. If any interest I’ll do it. No cfw needed. I’ve done it on my 2001 and 2501

      • Ricky D says:

        I’ve done dozens for the PS3 scene. The difference is that here people are basically just copy/pasting or rewording the readme file that comes with the downloads

        No offense to you wololo, but if you’re gonna give out money for this then personally I’d prefer that the money went to the people that wrote the software and not the people that just copy/pasted the included instructions

        • deathbydevice says:

          I couldn’t find an article on it when I’ve done it. I had to use a fat tutorial and manually find the 3.3v wire.

  5. ssxxss says:

    IMO these tutorial contests are a fragging joke and just POST WHORING for ad clicks…ill prove my point

  6. bodega says:

    hi @wololo, the latest version of ccapi by enstone is v2.50, that support cfw non-cobra up to 4.55 (not 4.60)
    regards

    WARNING ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! !

    DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR PS3 ! ! ! !

    i just installed the package file, and after it asked me to reset the ps3 crashed.
    i spent over 5 hours fixing it. i had to change the HDD, because it corrupted the OS
    i then had to re-install the firmware
