I don't think the desync problem we have is caused by hardware.

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.

Who says that the generators aren't helping? I've seen one person trying a 6,000€ diesel generator, and it worked for him. But would need more people to test it to confirm of course, but this is not really a solution since its too expensive, and we in apartments cannot even use that.

And routing has NOTHING to do with your setup, I'm talking about your ISP routing to game servers. You can have a 20-year-old 4 MBps internet on a coax cable, and if the ISP routing is good, you would have no packet losses, 25-30ms ping and smooth gameplay.

The only "conspiracy theory" that I would buy is that it has something to do with KMS Windows activators, since almost no one has actually a legally purchased Windows copy, and those KMS are actually saving this activation to your mobo directly, like a rootikit of some kind. Maybe Microsoft can detect that, and then purposely fucks up your Windows if they detect the KMS, and your hardware is permanently damaged.

But there are no proofs for that, so it's electricity.

Oh geez, again "those guys" who believe you need to have expensive stuff. Have at it!
Like I said I think electricity plays a role but there is a lot more to the equation.
Internet routing/quality/speed/ping never mattered in my experience. And that's over 20 years of it..

Well, for me - and many others - it works fine when we try our PC and monitor at other locations, which means that it cannot be anything else but electricity, plain and simple.

Or what else could be a culprit in that case? A chair, or a table? The colour of the wall? The only thing that changes if you use your PC, monitor and mouse & keyboard at other location, is the electrical grid and internet routing (if they have different ISP), everything else is the same (software and hardware). So?

I dont "believe" it , its just a fact.

I would explain but with a tiny bit of reasearch you can find out

you have indicated that average performance PCs in gaming clubs work better than high-performance PCs in the same clubs.
This is a direct correlation between the consumption of components (cpu/gpu/ram) and the power supply capacity.
The lower the system's consumption and the higher the power supply capacity, the better the problem is mitigated or resolved. Additionally, the power outlet has no relation to the issue. The problem is in the air and affects your well-being.

also, my problem is 24/7, but the peak of the problem is in the evening (6 pm - 9 pm). I also tried using a battery-powered UPS, but it didn't solve the problem.

Try very low inter winding capacitance isolation transformer , topaz has ridicoulusly low ones ( 0.0005 pf ) but below 10 pf should be sufficent

im run my pc on battery mode a lot of times, no fix.

try power regenerator or active harmonic filter, it should fix the desync

This problem has nothing to do with socet electricity.
