ANSWERED How to change thermal setting with 360 Flash Dump Tool

[jackpalmer09]

Hi all,

I'm using RGH Slim (Trinity) with FSD 2.2.
I tried to use the Auto Fan setting in FSD but the console gets too hot (~70+C). (I prefer Auto setting to avoid constant noise from the fan.)

I know that there is some default thermal setting inside the nand image that defines the critical temp before fan speeds up.

I'd like to change this setting.
Searching around, I understand that I need 360 Flash Tool to modify my NAND image and then rawflash the NAND.

However, I'm not able to figure out how to use 360 Flash Tool to change the thermal.

Appreciate all your help.
Thank you.

I used this YouTube guide to do my Phat.

Not sure if it works on the Slim or not, worth a try?

You can just edit options.ini in whatever tool you're using to build the NAND.

80C is the normal CPU target temperature for phat (82 for Slim, if I recall right), but it can be lowered pretty simple with 360 Flash Dump Tool.

Load by drag and drop your nandflash.bin in 360FDT, then Tools > Edit Config. There you press the button in lower left "Edit Config" and change your target temperatures.

As a legend, they are in this order: (target temperature for CPU)(target temperature for GPU)(target temperature for EDRAM)(limit for CPU)(limit for GPU)(limit for EDRAM).

After modifying to your desired values, copy the bin on an FAT32 flashpen and write the nandflash.bin from Xell.

I am with Martin C on this. I Use the ini file and just build a new nand image.

I set the Slim to 60C average and my Falcon to 50c.

Theres a xex file you can put on your slim to change the fan speed.

That's for constant speed. Nobody with a JTAG should be setting constant speeds. There's no point. You're far better reducing the thresholds in the config so they come on at lower temps. No point in having a noise-machine when it's not actually doing anything.

I know I'm planning on editing my falcon, then keeping the fan on auto.

Any tips? I plan to try and have it maintain 55c, seeing as my cpu and gpu never rise above 50c.

GPu stays at 38c with fans on 75%

read options.ini - it tells you in there.

With a Jtag Xenon you are probably looking at 100% fan anyway lol.

I followed the instructions above and successfully edit the image file by 360 Flash Dump Tool.
I'm not aware of the option.ini before. I think it's a better way to do it.
Thanks all.
