(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi everybody,

I'm thinking of letting go one of my PS3's. Which is better, CECH-2001B or CECH-2512A? In terms of overall performance, and of course the "Heat output", in other term which of the two is less prone to YLOD?

Thanks!

*note: both are on CFW already

In terms of what?

If you are talking about a downgrade/jailbreak, go with the CECH-2001B as that is guaranteed to be downgradable while the CECH-2512A is not because you will need to install MinVerChk in order to find out.

Just imo because easier access to the NOR chip lol..Otherwise there is no performance difference or hardly a difference in design at all...

Thanks for the enlightenment. I have decided to go with the CECH-2512A and would be letting go of my CECH-2001B.

Much appreciated! Thank you NGU! KUDOS!
