Electricity caused my PC to stutter for 3 years… I finally fixed it.

[pcenthusiast92]

Yes you’ve read the title.

I tested 6+ PC’s, internets monitors etc etc etc etc etc etc for the last 3 years. Any PC i connected in my house made it stutter instantly… and “forever”

Nothing I did even HELPED my PC one tiny bit. It seemed as once I plugged my PC into my outlet it “stuttered” forever. Nothing I would do would help the stutters.

Until now.

I bought a double conversion UPS. Let it sit plugged into my outlet and plugged my PC into it for the first week-2 I had it. I noticed a big difference but it just wasn’t there yet… I also have a power conditioner.. After couple weeks I was like let me connect my power conditioner to outlet, then my UPS connected to it. My regular UPS didn’t do anything. Double conversion on the other hand.. that’s why. IT HAS TO BE DOUBLE CONVERSION.

So at first I noticed a massive difference once I plugged those 2 in.. I could actually like play..? Stutters here and there.. but dude.. first time in 3 years something I did actually helped the stutters. Now, I was wondering hey.. could my PC just be messed up from all these tweaks I’ve tried..? I’ve literally changed so many settings lol and my windows wasn’t reset in years. I was thinking about resetting windows but its such a hassle so I didn’t.

A couple days goes… Then my Fortnite client was bugging. This weird anti cheat thingy wasn’t letting me install it.. people online said its such a hassle just easier to reset ur PC.. so I was like ok I was thinking about resetting it days ago and didn’t wanna keep trying to fix this anti cheat bug so I reset windows…

Once done, i didn’t touch nothing. Just downloaded Fortnite to see if it lets me boot, it does.

I enter the game. Bit stuttery ( cause Fortnite has shader compilation you have to let it build up) but couple games later… SMOOTH. Literally haven’t felt it like this in 3 YEARS. WTF? I play I play I play and omg… I can actually play. (My fortnite used to be insanely stuttery, non stop damn stutters, unplayable) It was a blessing. New season, OG, and I can actually play.

I hop on PUBG.. same thing.. I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY.. bit stutters here and there but nothing horrible like before. Just non stop, unplayable. Now PUBG is extremely unoptimized and my CPU is also outdated cause I never bothered upgrading it but it’s still a lowkey beast. But man, it feels like I don’t even have this issue anymore. I can play like I did 3 years ago.

So yeah. I know whats its like dealing with this BS. This stuff is stressful, takes a hit on your mental health.. it really sucks. I know how it feels.

THIS IS NOT AN INPUT LAG ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE INPUT LAG THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. This is for people where you only suffer stutters and your game never feels better no matter what time of day it is and nothing you do helps.

Please do not cram the thread regarding input lag. You guys have a million threads. Regarding this issue it’s extremely hard to find threads like this.

If anyone has questions you can leave your discord or ask here.

Power conditioner: Furhman M-8x2
UPS: Tripp Lite SU1500XL.

Now.. I used to think my PC was “infected” and honestly reading online I do believe peoples stuff does get perm damaged, but unless you leave your PC at a “clean” location for like a few days then your test is meaningless. You should let it sit at a clean spot for awhile.

Now if you follow my setup and you still stutter. Try buying a prebuild you can return easily, like costco, bestbuy etc. NEVER LET IT TOUCH YOUR OUTLET. Always connect it to the DOUBLE CONVERSION UPS. I say again, DOUBLE CONVERSION. Not sinewave, not line interactive. But a DOUBLE CONVERSION.

These things can get pricey. You can try finding a 2nd hand one without batteries and buy the batteries yourself. Batteries for mine cost around $32 CAD each, plus shipping which isn’t bad at all.

Anyways, im here if anyone has any questions.

Also I ask nicely, please don’t over take this thread with input lag problems, you guys have a million threads regarding the issue and only a handful regarding this issue myself and a few others have.. I truly wish you guys luck into finding a fix for it.

Hey hello I'm glad you fixed your stuttering issues, but by stuttering do you mean that, if you were having consistent frames per second while playing lets say 100fps steady, and perfect frametimes like 100fps/10ms frametimes, by stuttering you mean that you were moving with blurryness/motion blur, visual lag, like the game feels like less than 100fps? am I right?

Cause I'm having those symptoms, plus its like my eyes lost on track while playing, I get eyestrain, eyetired, the games animation felts so faster, that my reaction time are slow because of that, and then like 3-4 times in a year, or every 2-3 months suddenly my game become hiper smooth that everyone call me cheater in games such counter strike, suddenly the game become super smooth, targets become slow, easy to hit, the audio becomes clear and on time, I can hear every single nade people throw , more accurated the steps

So yeah,

Sorry for to much text ^^

Are you overclocking or using XMP?

Nope I'm not, but I have tested a lot of stuff since 2011, like modding bios, changing pieces, infinite tweaks, disabling fans, unpluging frontal usb case, testing dedicate audio cards, multiples OSES installation, tweaked my os with guides like pc amitguide at github, also did tweaks from Guru3d, installed modified drivers

Only things I never did was to buy a ups, power conditioner, also here in my country Venezuela we don't have actually a wired ground, we use wired neutral.

But I never had these problems back in 2006-2009 when I had an old phenom amd paired with fx 5200 gpu and crt 75hz.
But yeah I'm not a blind person, I'm very tech person myself, but until today I haven't figure it out what is causing these situations

And yes is not input lag, I can easily confirm what it is input lag, and what is visual lag/motion blur/ blurryness
Even tested 2 monitors 60hz 2ms, 1ms, 5ms 20 vs at 60-75 hz and problem persist, sadly I dont have my old CRT
I also tried software like Custom resolution utility make sure its fixed the refresh rate, also playing with proper present legacy, to avoid dwm issues, etc,etc.

BTW this isn’t just an input lag forum “ “

And uhh yeah dude, I wish it was a grounding problem.

Are you sure your input lag problem isn’t a grounding problem man? You should call an electrician and get your outlets checked asap! Maybe buy some greenwave EMF filters man you never know.

Issue was explained in post.

I knew this post would get bombarded w input laggers coming in here. The other 500000 forums aren’t enough apparently.

So what exactly was your issue then? What kind of "electricity"?
From what I've seen in OP post you have fixed it by adding double conversion UPS + power conditioner, for how long did you test it? And you said you still have some minor stutters. Also you said your CPU is weak, you sure it's not CPU then?
My bad it's "input/display/network lag" sub-forum, or lobby we're in, but anyways.

Did you not see the part where I said I tested over 6 PC’s?

Literally your quote bro

Either you worded it poorly, or you tried six actually different PCs, including new mobo & cpu and nothing changed.
You ignored other questions also. Well good luck with your findings.

Yeah I asked him a question, but he didn't answer it properly, he just ended up saying you have (input lag) but anyway at least he fixes its problem

I can’t help you bro, I wish I could. This fix doesn’t work for input laggers, its been tried already. This and much much much more has been tried.

But why you are using the term (input lag)if I don't have input lag.

You know what is the difference between input lag, and stuttering and visual lag? that are 2 topic different, why do you assume i have input lag?

I'm started to think you are trolling me, and everyone here...
I clearly state that my problem is visual lag, also stuttering, this has nothing to do with input lag

Have good day.

What do you mean by "If I don't have input lag"? Everyone's Windows PC has input lag. Don't try to pretend you somehow have a physics-defying computer. Do you even have a 1000 fps camera in order to verify that?

[lavar]

You need to get a UPS.

Once you get that, unplug it from the wall and see if your symptoms stay or go away.

Can you describe your symptoms in as much detail as you can? Also you’re 100% sure theres no input lag? Floaty mouse? I can’t help you if there is.
