I'm giving you my weekly update and just to let you know that the setup that I have regarding managing EMI has been working fine since I had my old computer, then replace it with a new one a few weeks ago and everything is still smooth, and sharp!
My new pain is not DDR5!!!! I got a set of 2 x 16GB at 7200 and doesn't run properly at XMP and need a lot of tweaking in Bios
Flash back to me asking you to get lower freq ram to avoid relying on your CPU's memory controller silicon being a hit or miss haha. Anyways, I didn't update this thread with any findings either since I actually got extremely sick for about 10 days, me hating to use antibiotics might've had a huge hand in that, regardless, I'm well and fine now.
The newest reading I got was yesterday, when I just randomly hooked the EMI Meter to the wall and the reading was just shy of 1900mV! I was surprised since I've used the meter several times randomly at different times of day and it never gave me anything beyond 60mV "at least in my room's circuit". So I started looking around, and apparently the maid somehow turned on the AC in the guest room, and since the AC was running in Night Mode, all of its LEDs were off and no one realized it was on until I used the meter. With the AC off, the readings were back to normal. I tried other AC's around the house, including my own and all sky-rocketed the reading to an average of 1800mV-1950mV with and without the AC being on the same circuit.
I did a little bit of research and yes the Inverter AC Motors are notoriously known for producing a lot of EMI and dumping it back into the grid. Even though my entire house has grounding in each receptacle the ACs were installed prior to me rewiring the house, so all of them are ungrounded and that might explain why they are giving such high readings when they are on.
Also an Update on my setup, I ended up selling my entire PC "Case only" when I was sick, and now I'm waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive to start building the new one. New rig: Asus Rog Strix z790-i, 13700K, Asus Rog Strix 4090 OC Edition, 7200cl34 Trident, SK Hynix P41 1TB NVme drive, Thermaltake 1000W SFX PSU "I'm building a small form factor case", EK Nucleus 240 AIO. The 2 EU Greenwave Filters also arrived but I still didn't test them with the new rig since I havn't built it yet. Hopefully everything will arrive by this Sunday. I wanted to get the Z790 Maximus Hero since It would've been my 4th generational one and I was familiar with its bios and all but Asus distributer in my country didn't get more than 5 boards this time saying it was too expansive and no one would buy it, even though they were sold within a week apparently. So I just got the Strix Z790i instead.
Now I just hope that whatever I ordered online doesn't come dead or has a problem in it, since international returns are literally pain in the ass specially when there's absolutely no similar offerings in my country. Will update probably mid to end of next week.
