Yeah maybe, I'm not an expert on coax and emispkii wrote: ↑29 Sep 2026, 02:26Could a disconnected coaxial cable in my home affect this?

For now keeping a connection from the attic tv antenna to my downstairs living room coax port via a standard coax cable is keeping my pc good, terminators might be a different effect on things considering they cancel out the line so we'll see

This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Re: Long-term investigation of unstable input
I wanted to mention the power provider did repairs in my street last week, I dont know what they did exactly, but I saw they replaced a small transformer opposite of me and this had positive effect on my lag. Maybe 15-20 percent improvement since a week now.

Re: Long-term investigation of unstable input
I have some useful news. I have a bad outlet and a good outlet in the same line. Grounding has nothing to do with it as the majority of people here already tested. Some guy talked about electricity distribution and yes that's correct. I have some water filter using 80 to 500w, my monitor, some lights and fiber optic converter on a 10A line and of course my pc. Guess what? If I unplug the water filter, input lag returns. If I plug it again, input lag is gone. But I've noticed after reading a lot here that you guys don't do these steps to test stuff. Let's say you plug it to a bad outlet. The PC trains the RAM memory and it has "electricity memory". You have to turn off, unplug from the wall, press the power on button on the PC for 10 seconds to reset entirely. After that you have to plug on the wall, turno on, go into the BIOS, put XMP off, MCR off, fast boot off and let it train on the new outlet or any outlet you're trying. That way you make sure every time you test on a new outlet, is going to be a fresh start and you're going to know how that outlet performs. After that you can go back to your XMP.

Small update: Grounding measurements
I recently measured the resistance of my grounding system. The measured resistance of my local grounding electrode system, used for the PC+monitor, is 4.5 Ω. The measurement at the distribution transformer was 0.39 Ω, but this was measured on the common PEN conductor, not on the transformer’s grounding electrode with the PEN disconnected.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get access to the transformer to disconnect the PEN and measure the grounding electrode separately, so I couldn't verify its individual resistance.
I'm attaching photos of both measurements for reference.

Re: Long-term investigation of unstable input
Tell me guys why I’m playing better on iPad Pro in Fortnite than ps5 pro? And I don’t feel I am very desynced while playing on iPad + WiFi(I use laptop cooling stand + charging while playing), I feel like fights are fair.

Re: Long-term investigation of unstable input
Maybe because there are fewer cables no PSU, no HDMI or DP, no Ethernet cable. Do you also use your PS5 over Wi-Fi? That's important to know.
