My recently upgraded PC has a problem with running under load, it is has a 3080, ryzen 5 3600, one m2, one ssd, 4 mechanical drives (adding another later), 2x16gb ddr4 3200mhz, 3 50-100cfm intake fans, 3 120mm nzxt exhaust fans, 1 noctua industrial 12-24v exhaust fan, running on an asus rog x470-f gaming motherboard with a 850watt corsair rm850x psu. Whenever I boot up an intensive game, run anything that causes a lot of power draw my computer restarts. One important thing to note is that I run my computer off of an outlet that is supposed to have 110v but has 93v (checked with multimeter) presumably because im running a couple of daisy chained extension cords around 300' to get power to my residence and that may or may not be the culprit. Another note is that I run a shorter extension from that 93v outlet to my table where my 2k 240hz hp omen x 27 monitor and pc plugs into, along with a 6 outlet surge protector with other things plugged in including a headphone amplifier that draws around 27 watts, a wireless router, a mini fridge and occasionally i'll have my g25 steering wheel kit plugged in. My Q is can a Cyberpower CP1500PFCLCD UPS fix my computer shutting off at load assuming I have it plugged into the ups along with everything else mentioned or if I need to shell out for a bigger and/or higher quality extension cord? Thanks.

A UPS is not going to fix a severe power issue especially for the fact you are massively overloading the power lines going to you. You ARE going to start a fire.

The UPS may keep the system from crashing, but you likely will hammer the battery on every spike, it will drain quickly and the system will crash anyway.

You really need a proper electrical line to your home, before you damage anything.

It sounds crazy but with nothing on the cord gives me a full 110 VAC which is standard for my abode. At 3-6pm other people are using power from the same source and my voltage dips down. Once the outlet reading goes below 80V my PC shuts off from under voltage. I remember reading about something that lowers amperage and boosts voltage, does anyone know what I'm thinking of?

PROPER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. PERIOD.

There is no device that is going to fix your problem. You need an electrician. Please do not set yourself on fire.

The thing you're thinking of is "getting someone qualified to come in and repair the problem."

There's nothing else to say. Your adventures slowly trying to electrocute yourself are just becoming horror porn at this point, so I'm going to close this thread off.
