Question Newly Built pc causes Room Lights To Flicker

[Dibakar Dutta]

My newly built pc causes room light flicker when I run it on inverter. I have 2kv inveter. Still my room light flicker.
I am using anteck 550watt psu and nvidia 2060 graphics. I try with stablizer and cpu , but no effect.

I have the same problem and still not figured out a proper workaround for this, though I know it is the active PFC on the PSU causing harmonic conflict with the Inverter. I messaged the Corsair guys and they said my inverter is not pure sine wave and hence the problem. Well, I have an Exide brand which says it is pure sine wave. So I checked out with other brand pure sine wave inverters of my friends' which included Luminous and Amaron... still the problem persists. I swapped this Corsair PSU with an old Cooler Master non-PFC PSU and the problem stopped. Please somebody let us know if they found out a proper solution for this as a good branded non-active PFC PSU is very rare to find nowadays.

The place could have an electric system issue.

Doubt this, as I have checked it out at two different homes and the problem still persists. Besides, I think it should not matter if it is an electric system issue of the place, as this happens only when running on an inverter.

Ok, but mine is very much the similar problem and I have been having this for years

Yes but similar doesn't mean the same solutions so your issue could be unrelated to OP's issue and the thread will derail to two issues and this isn't what we want. Start a thread instead.
