Fan & boost control

We provide a simple tool that allows you to boost your CPU to 3500Mhz and GPU to 2230MHz as well as changing the fan curve:

bash
cd ps5-linux-tools
sudo ./ps5_control --fan on
sudo ./ps5_control --boost on

Always turn on fan when your turn on boost, as this is what the official PS5 OS does.

Tips and tricks

  • You can adjust the kernel cmdline in cmdline.txt in the FAT32 partition.
  • You can adjust the VRAM size in vram.txt in the FAT32 partition. By default, it uses 512MB (0x20000000) which enables Dynamic VRAM allocation.
  • Monitor hotswap may work, but it will not change resolution automatically.
  • Some monitors have a black screen if a video=DP-1: parameter is set in cmdline.txt.

Many configurations, tips and tricks from the AMD BC250 Documentation also apply to PS5.
