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.

I've fixed everything over a week ago by getting a new circuit to my room, it was split in the main fuse box from PEN into PE+N so I have a proper 3 wires now, and then getting cables on top of the wall to my room where a new socket was installed, but I had ACTUAL electrical problems with old wiring (impedance, imbalance, neutral drift, oxidized wires, lose junctions, load-dependant PC behaviour because of shared circuit with oven and induction hob...) and not some "behind the server desync" crap that 85% of people here have, which has nothing to do with electricity but with internet
Very good! Now, everything you said doesn't make sense to us because we've already done it.
Great, then stop chasing some imaginary "EMI" because your problem is related to network or broken IT cables somewhere in your apartment building, or the ISP routing is simply shit for your geolocation...electrical problems on PC looks MUCH different than "enemies see me first" and some other bullshit like that, I didn't even had problems in games, I had problems in desktop 24/7 to the point the PC was pretty much not usable not even for web browsing

Can you explain in more detail exactly what you asked the electrician to do, and what he actually did? Iβm experiencing the same issue β the PC feels extremely slow and sluggish, to the point where itβs barely usable even for web browsing.

Youβre a toxic person who just likes to ramble and doesnβt actually want people to solve the problem.

Just ask them to do a new dedicated circuit from the main distribution panel in your apartment to your room. They don't need to open the walls or anything, they run the wires right on the surface on the wall with a wiremold. I also asked that this dedicated circuit woud be split from the PEN because I have old TN-C installation and had only 2 wires to my room, and now I have N+PE separately with 3 wires (if you don't have TN-C you don't need to do this).
And they also checked and tightened loose contacts and replaced oxidized contacts on the main PEN neutral bar in the distribution box. Now the wires are fresh and new, socket is new, the circuit is not shared anymore with other devices, and even if the main neutral wire is still shared with neighbours, everything works fine.

The thing is like I tried my current pc and I rented an airbnb in a brand new really like modern building built 2 years ago, tried it there and it was same feeling, and there like all the wiring and stuff is new. But everytime I change motherboard and psu it works good for a day guaranteed sometimes bit more, so I'm thinking if the capacitators on the pc components can get damaged from the electricity like degrade overtime? Whachu guys think

I also ran a dedicated line for my room (with its own circuit breaker). My house has a split-phase system with ground but no neutral, and they also installed an isolation transformer to convert my room into a Phase-Neutral-Ground system, each with its own wire. It improved quite a bit, but not completely, until now that Iβve tried separating the cables slightly from each other (I use two power strips, a second one for the PC and the first one for the monitor, ONT, and router). And the biggest improvement Iβve noticed was buying a shielded SFTP CAT 8 cable and a new power supply for my router, which has considerably improved everything, yeah... (I think I just need to change the ONT power supply for it to be perfect).

Thats weird, using multiple surge protectors / power strips for PC, monitor and modem is actually worse technically, since you would just create ground loops if you plug monitor and PC into two different strips...I haven+t tried that yet, I always had everything on the same socket and same surge protector

Stop telling me nonsense about the internet. The problem occurs in a 1:1 local network, just like on servers. So, thanks for your messages, but you haven't fixed anything.

Hello spkii.. i did month ago my own grounding with TN-C-S, separate all blue wires from green wires.. i bought everything new in main panel but my input lag, desync, mouse floaty doesnt appear.. but i read your comment that you changed power adapter from ONT, i did it now and everything is 1000times better like before instantly.. how is it possible?
=EDIT= is back to shit again
