*Launch Fat CECHA01 (full PS2 BC) - 22 days runtime
*Launch Fat CECHC03 (partial PS2 BC) - ~60 days runtime
*Launch Fat CECHC04 (partial PS2 BC) - ~40 days runtime. Has a dead BD-drive. Probably swap with CECHC03 if it dies
*Slim CECH-2503B ~80 days runtime
All the above are using CFW Evilnat PEX 4.90.
*Super Slim CECH-4303A. - 7 days runtime. Using HFW 4.90 + PS3HEN


I've repasted all of them besides the super slim (hardly used and hardly produces heat), haven't got into delidding the others yet. The slim 2503B is my go-to for PS3/PS1 games, then I use the CECHC03 for PS2 games.

Super slim makes a nice BD/DVD player that I can take when travelling. Honestly such an underrated model despite it looking a bit cheap compared to the Fat/Slim.
I do actually have more (working) backwards compatible models than those listed above, mainly CECHA and CECHB though I am constantly selling them too so I won't list those.
 
CECHA01 is used sparingly, I live in UK so the CECHA are incredibly rare to come across, notwithstanding the fact mine has such a low runtime. I took out the PSU (had the ZSSR) and put in a PSU from a dead CECHG. Not the APS-231, it was a different one that only runs on UK mains so should probably keep this in mind if I do use it abroad. Also I should probably delid and Frank mod it at some point.
