overclocking speeds up windows clock... solutions?

[randomlinh]

ok, i didn't want to believe it, but it seems that my overclocking has caused the windows clock to speed up. mind you, the actual bios clock is perfectly fine when I check it, but windows will basically turn a minute into 50 seconds.

I don't know why this is happening, but it has been for the past few months. i just underclocked recently because i'm havinig heat troubles in my room w/ a broken AC. When I first OC'd it, there were no problems. currently using an asus a7n8x dlx and an xp2400+@2.1ghz(166 bus). got somewhat of a dud, can't seem to go higher, at least can't do it at 1.75v.

So, anyone have any suggestion (other than the obvious stop overclocking). I know there are time update utilities, but i don't want to have to install 3rd party software.

Thanks,
Linh

a7n8x deluxe has time issues. It has been addressed and I think it was fixed in the latest BIOS update. I had that same issue, but my windows clock was running too fast...see if a BIOS update helps

Strange.. my 8RDA+'s clock also seem to run a bit faster.. although I'm not sure if this is caused by the overclock

i have the latest bios, it doesn't help :-/ I've noticed a couple of other ppl having the same problem mentioned here and there, but haven't seen any threads regarding it really.

Yeah have had the same problem. I have the same board too It happens every so often for me right now its kinda like I get 4 fast (ticks) then one slow. Its keeping time fine now. But when I first overclocked it had increased time by1min = 30sec. Try a differnt combo of fsb and mutiplyer

interesting. it started happening for me later.. heh. yeah, i'm going to try 200fsb again w/ this new bios. i'm happy w/ 200x10, slower, but higher bus. but it just doesn't want to boot. watch the clock go even faster

 

[Doh!]

Synching the windows time to the nntp server (internet time) should correct it whenever needed.

yeah, but 30 minutes later gotta do it again? i wanted to avoid running a 3rd party program every 5 minutes to keep things upadated
