Could you explain what I can try to confirm that I have a similar issue?
P.s. I have no access to sending or receiving private messages

As far as I understand the cables in the outlet are connected opposite as they should be?
Yes, it can "dominoe" or "Rube Goldberg" into that. Especially if it's a power supply that isn't able to handle this well.inputlaghaver wrote: ↑18 Jan 2021, 12:51If so is that something that could potentially cause weird stuff like inputlag?

No a reversed polarity outlet cannot cause input lag. Stop being dishonest. Don't believe me?

This is an easy fix, unless your outlet is very cluttered. Google "How to fix a reverse polarity outlet" -- example YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKz7Jv7zID4
Don't forget a flashlight and turning off the circuit breaker, very important, so you don't shock yourself or hurt yourself in dark. Disclaimer: We disclaim all responsibility....
If you cannot do it, or your government makes it illegal to fix yourself, hire an electrician.

Example: Reversed HOT/NEUTRAL in power outlet -> Minor power supply behavior deviation for a specific brand power supply creating EMI or noisy power --> computer components or a wire gets noisy power or EMI (many ways this can happen) --> creates error correction events --> adds input lag somewhere (even when offline)
Sometimes it does not happen. Also, it may not be your problem, you may fix this and the computer doesn't improve.
But it's also a canary in coal mine of a very badly-wired electricity system. Your home may be hiding bigger problems with its electricity, so you might have only scratched the surface.

Could someone look at the list in my og post and confirm if I tried swapping out every pc part or if I missed something.
Brand and model wise my monitor should not be the issue considering it's working as intended, right?
Just trying to figure out if I missed something before I go down the emi/power route
