High, medium and low VOLTAGE

[Asesino34]

Well, this is a theory but it's closely linked to electricity.

UPS or stabilizers, some have a symbol that marks high, medium, and low. Many discuss why games run smoothly at 3 am but are unplayable during the day and feel different. This (just a theory) is because throughout the day, electricity voltages CHANGE, meaning they possibly constantly switch from LOW to MEDIUM and this happens MANY times during the day, meaning it's not stable. At night, this doesn't happen starting around 3 or 4 am; the voltage stays stable at medium, making it PLAYABLE. By 6 am, stability is SUPERIOR; both desync and hitreg improve dramatically. However, try playing at 6 pm, and magically the voltage is low and rarely switches to medium.

Basically, during the day, voltage is constantly CHANGING, less so at NIGHT.

Another thing causing this isn't just your electricity or electric company but your own appliances. The most common is the refrigerator, which takes a LOT of voltage; in fact, when mine kicks in, or activates its cooling mode, my stabilizer (not sure if you know it, but it's almost like a UPS) switches to low, meaning low voltage.

And one must think, well, what does voltage have to do with it? Take the air conditioner, for example; when you have low voltage, it doesn't cool.

But there are two types of low voltages: those generated by your own house (fixable, basically you have to disconnect everything) and the non-fixable easy type since in your neighborhood there is probably a lot of electricity being consumed (this depends on using another electricity company and it's very difficult; at least here in Argentina, it's impossible).

There are voltage boosters, whether they work or not I have no idea; my theory comes from experience and testing. Usually at night, I have a hyper-stable medium voltage. For example, in FIFA, players go from feeling heavy to super light, and this isn't a coincidence.

If you want to test this, you need a stabilizer (that's what it's called in Argentina; I know there are UPS that have this symbol which are three symbols: a plus, a wavy line, and a minus) and check your electricity.

Changing your PC's location won't help if the new place has low voltage (this is influenced by the behavior of electronic products, for example, air conditioners not cooling, phones charging slowly) because they don't receive the necessary power.

Again, I repeat, this is a theory, but I bring it up because I haven't seen this discussed before.

Many people have tested an UPS already with no fix
