Does overclocking make your clock run faster?

[DefRef]

I've got my new PC humming along at a tidy 20% OC and this morning I noticed that the clock was wrong. I synched it up with the Internet Time feature and went to work. I come home and while I was just working, I noticed that it was over a half-hour fast in just 12 hours! I reset again and it picked up ~90 seconds in the ensuing 30 minutes.

WTF?!?!??!? This ain't right!

No it doesn't.

If it was slow I would suggest checking the CMOS battery, but fast?

Yeah, it's weird. That's why I'm axing.

No need to get the new battery just yet. Why don't you leave the processor at stock and see what happens first?

I overclocked a pc once and it played mp3's a double speed.

Check to see if its the CMOS clock or Windows. If you reboot does the clock go to correct time ??
