good video why 50hz worse on europe
i suggest get power station with external batteries u get best of both worlds 120v/60hz + able to charge the batteries with 230v/50hz u can look at " ego power station"

Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Well ok; i read not so good review about it regarding the autonomy...
What is your theory behind that : ?

Windows actually accounts for offsets in frequency automatically. If you want to learn more I suggest reading thiswadge wrote: β27 Jun 2022, 16:05Thats also true but i'm convince something is altering the way our pc is supposed to work properlyThatweirdinputlag wrote: β27 Jun 2022, 15:40Didn't even realize how much AC power can effect a game. 20% slower is actually insane! Then again, any sort of power passing after the PSU is purely DC "Direct Current" in the form of 3.3V, 5V and 12V. Those go through separate rails and do not have a frequency like Alternating Current, their frequency is actually 0 since the current is always on at any given time. All monitors also have power supplies that also transforms the AC into DC.
Just as a side note, a lot of the top tier teams in the ESports industry specially in triple A titles are EU teams, and I can guarantee you on that high level of skill and competitiveness, they wouldn't have been able to make it by being 20% slower.
And therefore i also came on a different supposition, at the end what rules our pc are those clocks build in it called crystal oscillators. I found an interesting article about temperature affecting the way they are working and there is other culprit (voltages, rfi and so on)
here is the link : https://www.electronicdesign.com/techno ... n-crystals
I'm sure we can all regroup our knowledge and finally find what is causing all this mess !

Re: PC- is affected with 230V -TEST
Sometimes it's the PSU's fault in producing more EMI with a certain voltage (120V versus 240V or vice-versa).
Cheap chinese power supplies are more problematic than high-end brand-name power supplies. Typically this is not always fixable via an external power station (e.g. lithium batteries).
Please be noted that PSU-based interference is extremely hard to diagnose. Even switching voltages isn't guaranteed.
This was more of a problem back in the analog days when you were stuck with 50Hz or 60Hz considerations. Consoles could only do one refresh rate back in those days -- and VSYNC ON during PAL runniing at 50fps vs 60fps would not affect a normal computer GPU which can run refresh rates decoupled from the mains frequency.
It's a useful datapoint to explain Europe vs US problem, but doesn't explain the OP's problem.
