ELECTRICITY INPUT LAG.. HOW I FIXED IT?!

[plshelpme]

What did you tell your electrician when he first came to fix your house? Did you tell him you suspected EMI because of your
PC?

I'd like to know this also as I've very similar issues. i.e. all the input lag stuff as well as issues with some plugs and sockets, as well as light switches. We also had a leak in the living room ceiling which blew the wall sockets but then they started working again when they dried out. We had an electrician come in because I thought the place wasn't earthed but he said everything was fine. So, should I have asked for something specific? Or even a complete rewiring?

The tradesmen in my area are lazy feckers so chances are they will tell you everything is fine if it means less work for them. So I'm a little unsure of what to say or ask for, any help would be fantastic, thanks.

So to remove electrical input lag I have in reason of shit electricity in my house I have to rewire whole house? I have to remove old wire installation? Or it can be in wall next to new wiring? It’s kinda important because I think I will do it in next year also for safety reasons not only gaming xD

Its nothing to do with your house imo, i have the same issues in 2 different houses in the same town, its the electricity coming in

It can be both, either the wider electric grid is having harmonic distortion (nothing you can do directly about it), or the problem is only in your building installation (almost always the neutral wire problem).

yes call the provider and ask them to check the connection between the electrical transformer and your incoming power line it may be a loose neutral connection on their side.

And you have in 2 houses good electricity wiring made? It’s very weird ffs, that I can’t play on pc because some of shit.
My house has shit wiring and electricity (underpowered electricity) because we have old wiring and they can’t increase electricity for our house, next thing sometimes in bathroom lightning is flicking for a second. From a strip(maybe already faulty) I hear sometimes freaking current in the strip. My electrical wires are only two-wire. No grounding also, everything is fucked up, maybe cables work like antenna and doing this emi rfi shit? Underpowered kW in my house probably made a lot of bad things I believe. My house is kinda big and in peak we had like 10 people in the house watching TV, doing laundry, cooking etc, I will be not surprised if something melted somewhere or got damaged

Hi guys! i don't wanna make this post too long so i start with:
"Symptoms":
1.INPUT LAG - this is the main problem MOUSE/KEYBOARD
2.MONITOR - feeling of 40 hz on a 60/120/144/240hz monitor
3.INTERNET - Bad hit registration with good ping /0 loss, wifi connection lost at different times and distances.
4.SOUND - Bad sound quality, lower than normal
5.DESYNC - in competitive games you get beat behind the walls and no time to react at enemy moves

FIX: First of all this is a problem in [my] house and not power company, transformers or pc bios/windows settings.!

My problem was a broken electrical wiring burnt in the wall that acted like an antenna and spread EMI in all my electrical installation.

This is what my electrician said:

A broken cable wire will result in 0 mA current flow, which makes it easy to detect a cable error. If voltage signals are used, the broken wiring act like an antenna. EMI can easily induce a voltage onto the wires, making cable break detection unreliable when voltage signals are used.

After i rewire my house my pc was perfect! moving fast and no more input lag/bad hitreg, 101% better sound.
What didn't change was the monitor with same feeling 40 hz that i replace it with new one witch working good now... same 144hz model.

To fix this issue you need to find from where it comes. For me it was the wire from my second room that is connected to an outlet but it can be from light or any electrical installation in your home.

You need to test.. first turn down all circuit breakers and turn up only the circuit breaker that is for your outlet/outlets in your room/s if you don't see any improvement on the issue then the problem is in that circuit.If you have any outlets on different circuit breaker turn it up and rest down and see any improvements.If it works really better you have EMI from another circuit.

So the best idea is to remove old wiring entirely and make a new installation? And that’s it? I have to do it then but I live in big ass old house, but with mom I will be able to save money for it. It will cost probably 10k$ but cmon… this is almost the cost of new high end pc, so it’s worthy

Yes both have modern wiring so I believe its the energy suppliers fault, I'll have to move somewhere away from this town in the future

u can run your pc via banana conductor in good place and it will work good
