My computer’s clock is fast.

[GotNoRice]

Something is going on with my system clock. Every once in a while I’ll look down and my computer’s time will be 20+ mins ahead of my desk clock (which is mostly accurate). I fix it by synchronizing using internet time, but as far as I can tell internet time only updates once a week and I’m having these issues on a daily basis.

I’m not sure if it is just faster, or if it is “skipping” ahead at certain points. Every time I catch it it’s usually off pretty significantly, so it might not be gradual.

Anyway, does anyone know what might cause this? This issue has persisted through many formats so I’m pretty sure it’s not a software issue.

Could it possible have something to do with the fact that my box is overclocked? I know not many people overclock with xeons, maybe it is throwing something off?

At the very least, maybe I could find a way to make internet time synchronize every few hours instead of once a week?

check your bios clock ..

one time on my old MSI mobo the clock started getting further and further ahead, I went to check out the BIOS time and it was running faster than it should have, like it was counting a second every half second. I poured holy water in the power supply and that fixed it.
