    why are web cams so low resolution?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 03:55 PM PDT

    you see cheaper phones at about £250 having cameras that can record at 4k but standalone webcams that cost £50 can only record at 720p.why is it that something that whole job to record video so often beaten by a device where the camera is just something that will be used once in a while?

    yes i know the phone costs 5 times more, but it packs in a whole computer almost unlike a webcam

    edit: i am not asking about ones in laptops, im asking about standalone webcams

    Warning about GPU sag remedies

    Posted: 01 Jun 2020 02:19 AM PDT

    I've been using a little stand to alleviate GPU sag on my 1080ti for the last few years. It basically just went from the bottom of the case up to fan shroud and held it up slightly to take away the sag.

    Well I just got a new motherboard and the PCI slots are reinforced and I noticed that the GPU didn't really sag anymore so I didn't use the stand. Then as soon as I launched a 3d application my temperature skyrocketed to 95C instantly. I did a little troubleshooting and couldn't figure out what was wrong but I eventually realized that putting the stand back immediately solved the problem.

    So I guess the upward pressure being put on the fan shroud caused either the cooler and/or PCB to bend or warp to the point where it no longer makes good contact without it. So obviously the simple solution is to just use the stand again but it still troubles me that I've damaged my 1080ti. Plus my temps are like 3-5C higher than before so either I haven't replicated the exact stand placement/pressure or the act of removing it and putting it back has shifted something.

    Has anyone ever heard of this or had it happen to them?

    Are there any patterns in when a stiffener in required for a chip substrate?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 04:22 PM PDT

    Looking at chip package designs where the bare die is exposed, I can't seem to find a pattern on when a stiffener (the metal frame on the edge of the substrate) is required. Here are some of my observations:

    Is there a method to the madness here in terms of when a stiffener is needed and when it isn't? I imagine manufacturers don't like putting stiffeners on chips since that's several extra manufacturing steps and expenses, so a stiffener is added only when it's needed, and if one is required, the thinner it is the better since it would allow them to reduce the amount of material used. So what determines when one is needed and if so, how thick it should be?

    Finally, I've seen mixed answers to whether a stiffener also prevents the corners of a die from getting crushed by a heavy heatsink if it rocks back and fourth. Is this true?

    What is "high static pressure" really?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 01:31 PM PDT

    As I understand it the goal of "high static pressure" fans is to ensure we have sufficient force pushing air through an obstruction to ensure a reasonable flow rate to support cooling.

    I don't follow why you would ever want a "high airflow" fan though? My understanding is the reported flow rate assumes a certain counter-pressure (flow impedance?). If I take that "high airflow" fan and put it in a case, if I violate the assumptions about the impedance the fan will just move less air (and possibly have different noise characteristics).

    If I have two fans with the same volumetric flow rate (i.e. a matched CFM), and have the same aperture (120mm, 140mm, 200mm, etc), then the shape of the fan blade is the only element left uncontrolled to set the relative pressure produced by the device. If I'm moving the same amount of air through the same region, I expect the exact same cooling characteristics. Once I've matched the flow rate the only free variable should be noise, right?

    1. What numerically represents "high" and "low" in the context of static pressure for a PC case fan?
    2. Does the "high" and "low" designation actually mean anything other than in the context of interpreting if a fan will be nosier/quieter than advertised when used in a low/high (i.e. flipped from designed) pressure location?

    Newer mobile processor vs older costs

    Posted: 01 Jun 2020 03:02 AM PDT

    Samsung makes their own mobile processors, tailored for their smartphone segments. To understand my query, for example there is the Exynos 8890 for high end devices, which is 4 years old, and the Exynos 7904 , which is weaker but just 1year old. They are both 14nm, and the 7904 has lower frequency (weaker) with a few improvements in graphic drivers and bluetooth. I know both are for different users (their pockets), but would the manufacturing cost of the Exynos 7904 be significantly higher if it's clock speed were higher at least to match that of the 3 years older 8890?
