What worked for my electrical input lag

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.

 As I said in one of another threads - if you have problems ONLY in shooting online games, then electricity is obvioulsy NOT your problem, it is congested network or ISP routing or something like that. Us with electricity problems have problems in desktop as well.
Sure. I will also say that it can be very difficult to determine whether you're down the right rabbit hole. The issue could be related to the network as you suggested (latency, packet loss, etc.), or it could be your hardware (GPU, CPU, RAM, etc.) or even drivers. For many, this is where the problem resides. You could actually spend quite some time messing around with these things and notice meaningful results. I know, I've gone through these exercises many times over the past 10+ years. That said, I have thousands of hours in CS; I've played it long enough to know when something feels off... something so hard to explain that you know you shouldn't tell anyone in the real-life about the problem lol. It just sounds crazy!

Did you guys tried on doing stream via Discord, Twitch or similar? It increases a lot for me the desync/lag/EMI problem... test you it guys
