⚠️⚠️⚠️ Most Lag Problems is NOT Electricity Related ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Lol, you do realise that 60% of people in the EU still live in the houses / apartments from 1980 or earlier, with still original, never-updated electrical installations, many many of them still on TN-C, right? So unless you treat EU as "developing countries", you are completely wrong again.

My dude, I live in a building from 1908 and have never had any such issues. Never have I even ever heard of such issues until I found this subforum.

If you don't have a knowledge about how high impedance of the wiring interfere with a PC, how floaty ground / neutral reference can mess up the PSU internal ground reference (it should be exactly 0, but in many old apartments its not), how harmonics from switching power supplies work, how neutral imbalance work etc. etc., then don't reply to this thread "it's your PCs fault, you have no clue", because there are TONS of people on this forum which swapped their entire PCs setup 5 times with no improvements. BUT then they tried it at another location and bingo, everything is suddenly perfect...guess why, it must be that the Windows magically tweaked itself when they were travelling right, it's TOTALLY not bad electrical grid / faulty electrical installation.

So it’s an entirely self-reported phenomenon? Yeah, thought so. Yes, there are loads of people who are likely to throw more money at the problem, repeating their setup mistakes again and again and concluding that it must have been the handyman who did shoddy work. Unless you have some actual scientific evidence for your claims, they are nothing more than that. Implausible claims, backed by people’s anecdotes.

Cool, but is your electrical installation also from 1908? No, because it was probably fully replaced several times since then? Why the hell would a building construction year matter, the only important thing is how old (and good) is the installation, not the age of the house. You can build a state-of-the-art electrical installation in a house from 1700 if you want, and it should work perfectly.

And I have an evidence - not scientific, because how would I do that - but the PC drastically improves under two conditions:
A) Late at night, when the grid is much less congested, and
B) If I turn on high resistive loads (clothing iron, stove, oven, electrical induction hob, kitchen hood...)

The results are not "measurable" because I don't know how would you measure that, because there is literally nothing in software that would pick up any difference (even the voltages on rails are the same per HWMonitor), but the feeling of the smootness, no choppines, visual claritiy of the desktop, precise and fast mouse movement, Windows UI animations differences, the REAL 180Hz refresh rate feeling and not the usual 60Hz feeling...are day and night difference, if you would be used to the shit performance after many years you would notice the difference in 10 seconds.

So how could this be caused by a "bad" hardware / BIOS / Windows, if the problem is apparently directly correlated to apartment electrical load and the time of the day? The only plausible explanation regarding hardware would be a poor low quality PSU which cannot handle a little bit noisy electrical installation, but I tried with a borrowed 400€+ titanium level PSU as well, with zero improvements.
