Electrical Input Lag Question

Been dealing with this issue for about 4 months now... I bought an electrical multimeter and tested my outlets and they all read 121v... I looked it up and apparently 110v is the standard for USA. Has anybody tried lowering their voltages on outlets???? Is this worth doing? I know absolutely nothing about electrical stuff, Im only here because this might be a possible cause of my input delay.

Input voltage for typical PC PSU is 100V – 240V, why would you like to lower it after you said that you know absolutely nothing about electrical stuff?

its not only 110-230V but 60/50Hz so lowering voltage may improve your inputlag - give a try to iron with PC on same outlet and measure voltage and also try play with it
These new PSU with PFC dont like overvolatage like 121V 60Hz its on top of the range

Do you know how a switching power supply for PC works? You pump in 100-240V (this is an advantage of this type of power supply) and you receive 3.3V, 5V and 12V from rectifiers and secondary winding of the transformer. How the hell 100 or 230V would do any difference?
Open HWinfo64 and check your voltages in real time with low refresh rate. It will be almost rock solid, so please stop.
I can use the same nonsense rhetoric and say that OMG 60HZ HIGHER THAN 50HZ MORE RIPPLES ON THE SINE.

Just want to help this dude to test it cheap way thats all…. Iron has everybody at home so why not?
PSU at 121V 60Hz will perform differently than PSU at 110V 60Hz…
I am from EU in my outlets are sometime 250V at 50Hz thats nothing against the law so every TV, lights PC and so on has to work on that voltage (253V 50Hz max) did we hurt them? How can i notice 253V on vacucleaner? There is no chance but on the PC?
There you got some stuf about modern PSU with PFC and how they work if they can produce EMI and so i been true this allready
You can try find if they produce more EMI on 110V or 121V
