Input lag issues for a while

So I've been having input lag issues for a while now.
So yesterday I tested voltages using a usage meter.
I'm supposed to be getting 230v in my plugs but instead I'm getting 210-213 max.
I've noticed many times that my pc has way less input lag and games are playable at nights and so I noticed my voltage sometime goes as high as 222v at that time.
Also I've noticed that usually my PC works better after I leave it off/unplugged for a long time? I work and I usually leave the house for a week and so PC stays off at that time.
Any opinions on this ?

Some people found ease with running clothing iron before the pc plugs on circut
Prolly same thing , more ppl use line (more power drawn is main cause ) = voltage drops

This seems to be the cause of the long time problems tbh.
Late at night everything is better and at that time I have more voltage and a lot more stable.
I'll try to get it resolved and see how it goes.

Ever tried leaving the pc unplugged for a while ? (1-2 days)
And see how it acts the first day it gets plugged in again?
My PC seems to be working a lot better after I leave it off for days due to work.

I wonder can voltage fluctuations make pc slower/laggy or even affect router/modem?

Same thing with me - no input lag at night and the pc works better for some time if it chills unplugged, that's why buying new motherboard worked for me... I thought the problem was solved
