Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Forum rules
IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). 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.

Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
It's like everything else. A 100% fix at first, then it fades a bit over time but I'd say 70% of the effects remain. As I previously mentioned it's much worse playing without them.
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Exactly, mine isn't 100% either, but it helps a little, and until there's a perfect solution, it's just a tiny bit better. It's strange that the magnets have an effect; I don't know what to do. Should I buy an EMI meter?
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Try to set custom RFI freq, find good frequency:)
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Now THAT'S one interesting setting and a potential rabbit hole. I don't know how much an EMF meter would help but can't really hurt to try one if you have the money.
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Not emf, EMI.
U can download emf app from play Store btw.

Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
I tried rhe RFI setting and it made no difference. Today there were some workers near the house doing some electrical stuff and ever since then the magnets became counterproductive. There is more responsiveness with both alumium foil and magnets off so I'll see if this effect fades away over time as well.
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Ahh, the RFI didn't do anything for me either, even though it stands for Radio Frequency Interference. I assume it needs to be applied to a setting where there's a lot of interference, but in our case, I don't think it's an RFI issue, it's probably EMI. I'm using magnets until i get a UPS, I bought one cheaply.
Re: Magnet? ( Not placebo)
Reviving this to tell all of you that I moved my magnets because I was only getting a small benefit with them being on my PC case. Now they are on the side of my desk next to my mouse and it's much better. I was using them on my case for multiple months and the effect stayed all the way up until now and I believe this is going to stay the same way. Make sure to properly experiment with the placement because for me even moving them a millimeter away or rotating them totally ruin how they affect the peripherals.
