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. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

My games & windows are way smoother during night. Around 2:00/3:00, At daytime it feels sluggish. And mouse movement doesn't feel sharp. This is all fixed during night

all devices unplugged except mouse
different mouse, different keyboard, different mousepad
180fps cap, 160fps cap, uncapped fps
r5apex low priority, high priority
mouse interrupt cpu affinity
different nvidia drivers
cpu underclock
cpu overclock
cpu stock (stock bios)
hyperthreading on, off
different monitor
entirely different rig (gtx 1650s amd ryzen 7 2700x)
Tried legacy mode & mbr
Different power plans
Power saving features all on in bios

Gpu overclock
Rgb off & led mb
All fans in dc mode & full speed & silent mode
blocked windows updates & driver updates
hags off / on & msi mode on/off

I brought my pc to my mom & different people in family. Both "far" away from my place and some of them live in a whole different city.
