So, I have a system (Falcon) that after about 15minutes of gameplay "overheats" with a 0013 error but from what i was told, only does it w/ the harddrive attached. So, I tested this using a small desk fan as additional cooling blowing cool air across the open case. It still "overheats"

I figure maybe it was a bad flash from when I flashed it. Or some JTAG problem. I'm trying to just update it from XBR3 8955(with Xellours) to FreeBoot 9199.

I'm using Flash360 to dump the nand, attached are the pics.
I use freeboot maker (bestpig) to make the freeboot image.

I use flash360 to flash the nand. Here are where the problems starts, you can see in the images, it appears to be remapping 3 bad blocks to the same block. I figure this is causing my E71.
I also used Xellous to flash the image on, and if I remember right (i only did it once the first time), it also did the remap the bad blocks to the same F80000 block.

After this, I boot into Xellous and using the dump I got from before, I rename it to updflash.bin and toss it at the root of my USB. And it flashes just fine(back to XBR3 8955). Reboot, and all is well.

Am I going to have to use degraded to manually move the blocks, that were read as bad blocks in Flash360, and then reflash the entire nand using LPT? I really don't want to do that. But will if I have to.

If it overheats about 15 minutes into gameplay then play for about 10 minutes, go to freeboot and see what you temps are. Might help you run down the problem.

Its an EDRAM issue. I think.
The temp in XeXmenu gets stuck at 1.0C for the EDRAM.
Coupled with some research I did into the 0013 error being a EDRAM_THERMAL_OVERLOAD or something.

However, the temps are good. The fan had already been 12V. Plus I was using a desk fan to blow more air across the system. CPU got to ~55, GPU ~45-47, EDRAM 1.0, MB: ~34.

I read somewhere that an uneven pressure of the heatsink (gpu /edram) can cause problems with edram overheating (1 degree reading looks like the temp sensor is not working - shame, obviously would have been handy to know your edram temp)

if it was mine I would redo the gpu heatsink (no x clamps), and turn the screws real slow and evenly to get as even pressure as I could...

and even though you've 12 v mod the fans, and gpu temps seem good, I'd check that both the fans are spinning  - I try to be thorough
