If you think EMI causes this, then enable CPU Spread Spectrum in the Bios and VRM Spread spectrum. Also, undervolt your CPU. Helps 90% of people who have EMI issues.
It's better to leave those settings on anyways, because they don't increase lag by ms.

Enabled sb spread spectrum cuz thats the only one i have, also enabled sris, its more stable right now, but not 100% fixed.

undervolt how? i have pbo enabled and cpb

But is it safe to enable any spread spectrum when overclocking?

Enabling spread spectrum isn't a problem for most overclocks. But if you try to get the world's best CPU score and those little bits of mhz, then disable Spread Spectrum.
I guess you're not a hardcore overclocker, so It won't hurt you at all.
Worst case scenario: if you don't have any EMI, it will give you <0.1ms lag AT MOST.

Spread spectrum is very good for overclocking actually, because overclocking often produces EMI. Spread spectrum eliminates EMI from OC or even from bad electricity.

Undervolting also helps, if you set a very high Voltage for overclocking.

Pushed 3200mhz to 3600, is that okay? and 120mhz on the core clock. And for cpu i enabled pbo

How do i undervolt with pbo and core performance boost?

noticed in zentimings that my vsoc is 1.2v but in bios its set to 1.05, is that a bug in the software or?

Just leave the Voltage how it was. That's fine. Very high voltages are bad for EMI, youre fine.
And IDK if that's a bug or something, sorry. Can't help you with that.

Is there like more i can do to reduce emi? Or increase performance, reduce latency? Like i said i really want to get the best perf out of my system. Anyway thanks for the tips so far

Yea, there are tweaks which reduce latency by alot.
Those are the most powerfull ones:

-Overclock GPU/CPU/Ram/Monitor (OC GPU will have the biggest impact)
-Setup your Bios (Enable XMP, OC CPU, Lock your CPU Core Voltage, Disable CPU C-States, Enable Spread Spectrum)
-Do a fresh Windows 10 Home install
-Debloat Windows by following this Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V27McA7 ... wO&index=3
-Debloat Nvidia Driver by following this Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR1Xkjt ... wO&index=1
-Setup Nvidia Control Panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrt5rqsYntU
-Disable unnecessary Services in windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIXDD4NKx60&t=506s
-Enable Windows High Performance Powerplan
-Enable Windows Game Mode
-Enable Windows Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (you need a 1000 Series GPU or higher)
-Install ISLC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP1EMzGD9Xc
-Install MSI Utility and set GPU to MSI Mode
-Disable Fullscreen Optimization in game properties: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKUQbL4i24g

There are other tweaks too, but they can actually harm your Performance and increase lag. For example doingregistry tweaks. And most of the registry tweaks reduce lag by nanoseconds. Its not worth doing this.

I forgot to mention. Capping your Frame Rate in the game (if the game has a FPS Limiter) will reduce input lag significantly.
Because otherwise, your GPU is running at 90-100% usage, which will add like 30ms on most systems. When capping your FPS, it takes the load off of the GPU, which improve input lag. Here is a very interesting video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msOWcvoIC8M
Also, disable Vsync. Vsync adds tons of lag...
If you dont want to cap FPS in order to reduce GPU Usage/Lag, run games uncapped and enable Nvidia Low Latency mode in the Nvidia Control Panel. Or Nvidia Reflex in games.
If you do cap FPS, then disable Nvidia Low Latency mode and Nvidia Reflex.
And set your Game Graphic Settings to medium or low.

I’ve heard that fso is better to leave it at default, is that true?

Also for capping fps, im using rtss for apex because if u cap with ingame/+fps_max frametimes isnt smooth and starts spiking
