System clock running too fast

[MrGod]

After overclocking my i7 920 from 2.66 to 3 I have noticed that my system clock has started running slightly faster that it should.
Over time it gradually gets ahead of what time it should be at but it can be manually fixed by syncing with time.windows.com
A "minute" for my system clock lasts for ~53s on my phone. (which works perfectly into the ratio of 2.66 to 3)

 

I am not sure if I have done anything wrong on my overclock or it is something else causing the issue.

 

OS: Windows 8 pro

CPU: i7 920

MoBo: P6T Deluxe V2

RAM: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz

 

 

I have also noticed that task manager thinks I still have old clock speed, while CPUZ reads it as 3GHz which I expect it to be.

OVerclocked a...clock? What? Restart your PC.

this is a known issue with Windows 8.

I think it has something to do with the base clock and windows 8

 

The alteration to the base clock is affecting the windows clock

Yeah. What else isn't an issue with Win 8? Anyways the humor still gets me, overclocking a clock...

[GoodBytes]

Open the command prompt as true administrator:

bcdedit /set {current} useplatformclock yes

 

Restart your computer.

 

That, or change your overclock configuration.

 

Also, Task manager shows the average core clock of all 4 cores. While CPU-Z only shows you the speed of Core 0.

This worked

Weirdly this will be the third time I have booted after the overclock, but at least now it seems to have understood the correct clock speed.
