Saw something interesting before,
https://youtu.be/5Xh9LDANm0o?t=1011
Linus was having issues overclocking and running a computer and then after he plugs it into what looks like to be an online UPS then after he runs his computer stable fine. Was shocked that this would actually make a quantifiable difference, I was always under the assumption if the power was bad it simply just wouldn't work.
Wondering if there are any power conditioners/power boards or anything that do something similar without needing to buy a power station or ups.

Well he said there is always problm in this "corner" of building.
Probably voltage going there drops a lot.
If it is voltage it got nothing to do with our issue

There's no big enough audience for that for them to do episode on this topic.
Also showing such issue live would mean having whole PC industry attack them, because it's negative publicity.

Its not an Online UPS, its a Power Station that he uses on video. (Like EcoFlow Delta Pro or similar). I have one: EcoFlow Delta Pro, tried it offgrid (Battery mode) and same problems....
