Ok, rapid sum up :
6 month ago I've bought some pricey FB-DIMM for my mighty MacPro in order to happily overclock my FSB from 1333 to 1600Mhz or more.
On Mac i can do that but the system OS is based on the core frequency, ie when rising the FSB, the clock goes faster.
It means when encoding a video, the rendering time displayed is the same. but seconds go faster than light.
BTW my MacPro refuses to start after a reboot while overcloked. So i was stuck with this ... feature* !
Most games (not many so... easy to test) are going out of sync. The only good thing happened with that is running faster in WoW... but i don't play this game for years now.
----
Anyway, On Windows, i don't encode anything, so no need to do that, but.. then came DBS BS2.
So i happily overclocked my FSB with SetFSB, easy to use, and Xeon compatible I re ran some test in DCS and didn't found any transcending differences. But.. anyway when i saw you guys overcloking to 4.8ghz and running 40fps i said to myself : it's already lost wait for the next Xeon.
Then came the bug (in fact it was here from the first OC day) of partial audio speech, cut off messages and almost everything with a sound in DCS.
Exact same problem as here :

Solutions were IRQ, PCi-E switch, Swap files, and some other useless things for me.
I don't have a Bios, and no one knows EFI... yet.
Then i remembered that i was sure thoses F1 in the last Grand Prix were really fast with VLC when dragging the window. And semi-lagging when releasing. It came clear to me : This is the TimeWarp effect of OCing the FSB.
I took a watch, and closely watched the clock in ABRIS.
When the Abris clock hitted 1Mn, my (real)watch still at 45s.
(Then i remembered how good i was, finishing the BS2 campaign 30% faster than you )
After a Tiny search over the net with something like Internal Clock frequency with a known search engine i found one post :

Bingo !

The problem you guys are running into is a new Windows 7 "feature".
WinTimerTester were totally out of Sync, Wooooow, really new COOL FEATURE they've made in Windows 7 !
anyway, i've done the command lines, rebooted, and now...
I just saw my FPS going from 19 to 25.
and Betty finishing the word EKRAN !
i'm happy, i had to share it
