So, I think my pc is not working properly, but cant tell exactly. I got high fps, not high temperature, frametimes is good, ethernet connection is good as well. Xmp enabled to 3200 mhz. But games feels choppy. I had a bad laptop which was refund. So I got this pc about 1 year ago. I really can't tell if games are working properly or not, because on my laptop games were worse, but it's still weird for me. My setup: i5 12400f, Asus b660m plus wifi d4, g.skill 32 gb ram (2x16gb), 750W bronze, manli rtx 3070ti. It's prebuild pc. Here's 2 video that I just record with xbox game bar. Game bar is disable all time. Also I asked chatgpt to analyze videos. It said it's choppy and micro stuttering. I tested it in more games not just rocket league. This video is 60 fps: This video is 30 fps: Another question is that my motherboard (asus b660m plus wifi d4) rgb (TUF logo) flash at night when it's unplugged. I mean that there is a switch on an extension cord and I change it to off, so not on the PSU. Yesterday and today I woke up at night and saw lights from motherboard for a second. So I can't tell if any other lights are flashed or not. It does it regularly. What can cause these?

I feel like my games are choppy and flashes on motherboard

I have a UPS that's power LED does the same thing.
Weird part: powered on, the LED is green. Powered off, periodically it *flashes* blue.
Thought I was crazy or having a medical event until I sat there staring at the thing. -verified it as the source of the 'electric blue' light flooding my room for a split-second.
I assume it's inducted (incidental rectenna) current, charging a cap then discharging through the LED.
First of all I did a clean install. I tried memtest86 it not showing any issues. I did it for 3/4 with no issues, so I thought i can skip 4th test. I did a stress test for cpu and gpu. I didn't find any issues, but I'm not a pro in pc's. I checked temperature it was good and I didn't got bluescreen so it think no issues. I updated BIOS except VBIOS (gpu bios). Driver are latest from motherboard website. My gpu firmware is 94.04.65.00.07. I don't find anything about bios on Manli site. I download gpu-z there I watch there sensors. I downloaded MSI afterburner to check fps. Frametime was good it jumps a bit, but I think it's good. I can take a picture if you want to. It's 4-5 ms. 240fps. 1% and 0.1% low is high. 1% about 210fps almost all time. These specs in rocket league. I optimized Windows like disable game bar. I tried game mode on and off. Optimize nvidia settings, but I tried more option and it feels the same. I don't use any sync. I tried clean install windows 10 and windows 11. They are almost the same.
About the rgb lights I don't do anything that's why I asked it here. Someone said these are capacitors. But I don't understand when I switch to off then rgb light turn off about in 30 seconds, so no more electricity left. Then at night random flashes up. At night because I just switch it to off at night.
If I think of anything else, I'll write it down.
Im not sure if I understand it correctly

Probably some capacitors releasing a charge periodically causes a LED to flicker. Probably nothing to worry about, most LEDs will light up at 3v or less using virtually no current (Amps/mAmps).
As for the games feeling choppy, set the XMP to defaults and see if that issue clears up. If it does, try a lower RAM frequency.

My assumption is that the traces and wiring of my UPS are 'picking up' current from radio, etc.
-The diode(s) and capacitors in the circuit, incidentally acting like a "rectifying antenna", charging up then discharging through the LED after 'turn-on voltage' is accumulated.
In my area, I can pick up 3-25+VAC off anything conductive (the longer the conductor, the higher the voltage).
Even, the steel drywall corners in my home re-radiate RF and I can detect voltage w/ a DMM (between the metal and an earth).
