UPS online Fully Protect Against Input Lag from Electricity?

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

UPS online Fully Protect Against Input Lag from Electricity?

Post by 1nputlag34 » 11 Dec 2025, 15:06

Hello everyone,

I need some advice. I would like to know if purchasing a ups online pure sine wave can help me completely rule out electrical causes for the input lag.

My budget is limited, so this is only for testing purposes. If you know of a 100% reliable ups that is not too expensive, please recommend it to me.

I can't test my PC in another house, so this is the only way for me to isolate the problem. If the UPS eliminates the input lag, I will then call an electrician to check the electricity

Thank you

Electrician won't fix anything anyway because it's nothing with wiring in your house, it's the noise coming from outside / the grid.

And some noises cannot be fixed neither by a quality UPS, especially if the interference is over the air, not only cables...if you're gonna buy an UPS, then buy it somewhere where you can easily return it in the case it won't help.

I would have preferred a single device so that I can easily return it.

i agree with him i tried low quality ups once not working. my problem is grid electricity because power transformer working full + full capacity

Unfortunately:

UPS = McDonalds Hamburgers
"inverter + lithium iron battery" = Luxury BBQ T-Bone Steaks

Fortunately, Amazon sells both items into a single shopping cart, so they can be returned together. However, it's a bit risky to get into these because it's a bit of an "electrician DIY".

So you have a choice of paying 3x as much for a single device, or much less for two devices that you wire together.

It is not a 100% guarantee, but it's the cheapest way to get about 2-3 hours of gaming off-grid with just a single car-battery-sized lithium battery. Those common cheap new "12.8V 100 amp hour" (1280 watts hour) LITHIUM iron-phosphate car batteries can power an RTX 5080 rig for 2-3 hours including the gaming monitor.

Have extra money? Good. That makes things easier. If you prefer a single solution, get some Jackery Power Station or clone thereof. Anker sells them too. Big battery on wheels that you can plug in. The 2400 watt-hours ones can even power an RTX 5090 rig for a few hours. The power from these modern power stations ("giant lithium battery on wheels"), especially of good brands like Anker, is generally much, much cleaner than the power from the grid if you're living in an unlucky country.

Also get rid of the Internet wire too (use WiFi 7 instead of Ethernet), unless you want to use optical fiber (media converters). No copper touching the offgrid rig, follow the "weak link" principle to eliminate any wires touching an offgrid rig. NO copper Ethernet at all, not even the Internet connection. Interference/noise can go over that. Go optical or go close-range WiFi 6E or WiFi 7. Those two are low latency enough for esports.

Most advice is conspiracy tinfoil hattery here.

But the offgridding tip is a legitimate workaround for extreme bad power, grounded (pun) in real science. Some electrical grids are absurdly noisy/bad. Please note, this is no guarantee. Your problems may be other things including the game's own bugs etc.

media converter connected to ac, and that trash transfer to your pc via lan.
edit: im think about my monitor and dac connected to pc psu, and you can try connected converter to pc psu via sata to dc, but it be same trash.

Unfortunately, you often have no choice.

AC powers the Internet outside the house. Like the ISP router and ISP switch.

Just go close to the "demarcation" point. The "demarcation" is important, and you're OK.

Put a very good high end media converter or WiFi router or media converter on a different power conditioner / UPS, AND put it close to the house entry point or demarcation point as possible (but keep the router box away from equipment and power panels).

It's not the same trash. Just condition/clean it as much as possible at the router side. You need to deliver Internet to the gaming rig, and the Internet is AC powered from your rig. You have no choice.

Just put the media converter or wifi in the correct location, behind a good high end "data center quality" power conditioner.

It's very strange that you're still talking about some filters and power conditioners.
