[Power/EMI] I discover why sometime PC become fast and low input lag and otherwise feel high input lag

[Chief Blur Buster]

For really nasty bad-electricty situations -- I get more success reports from more people from offgrid gaming PCs -- and be done with it.

e.g. solar generator or 1000-watt Jackery Power Station or one of those 1000 watt-hours LiFePo4 batteries, which can power an average gaming PC for about 3 hours full-blast completely cordlessly away from EMI-noisy power outlets in areas with very distorted sine waves & bad EMI. Use low-latency WiFi 6 to avoid any wires touching any walls, and use a good dedicated uncongested router. Then your gaming PC is completely offgrid and completely untethered to the world (including electricity).

Just make sure you use high quality inverters with true pure sine-wave AC, which can be much purer than your power company's power.

Most people's electricity isn't that bad to require that -- but there are ways to just simply cut the cord to the power socket if you're unlucky to have unusually nasty over-the-wire EMI that is hard to troubleshoot.

Expensive blunt-hammer solution, but it sidesteps hours of time wasted with UPS, power conditioners, computer repeat re-builds, etc.

Won't help you if you're living under a 500 kilovolt hydro transmission tower, since that over-the-air EMF is rather intense if you're nearby. It does crazy shit to a nearby computer even if you try to offgrid your computer. But offgridding the gaming PC will otherwise help universally for all possible over-the-wire EMI from the mains.

This ain't crazy conspiracy tin-foil hat shit -- this bad electricity stuff actually happens to less than 1% of gaming PCs -- but even 0.1% is still 1000 gaming PCs out of a million. Most lags are caused by network and Internet, this is relevant if you're also getting weird lags during offline play (from error correction latencies as a dominoe-effect of bad electricity).

Check out the video on youtube, interesting to say the least..

Might have to move planets not apartments afterall!

Ignore the quote, just wanted to grab your attention. I saw you on a different forums talking about a discord with a bunch of people with similar symptoms to ours and was wondering if it is still a thing and if you could give me the link if so. It would make it less tedious to communicate on these issues if that is still an option, thanks!

This is the way to go

Oh they have a discord channel for this? I would also like to join. Want to hear what others have to say.

If you live in apartment you are basically fu**** until someone comes up with solution, power company or neighbours depending on source of the issue decides to do something or you hire some power quality specialist who works for big companies.

Yeah I agree with this. There is just nothing we can do. But they have no problem taking our . Hope one day they figure these issues people are having and care enough to fix it.
