Hi I'm new here, as you can see this is my first post.
Ive recently built a rig using the following hardware
Gigabyte ga-z68x-ud3h-b3 mobo
Intel i5 2500k
8gb Corsair Vengeance arctic white LP 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 Ram
corsair a50 cooler (replaced stock fan with alpenfohn wingboost plus as stock was crap at moving air and noisy)
I overclocked this at first to 4.4mhz stable by dropping dvid to -50 keeping it cool. everything seemed fine, voltages low (max 1.248v) temps never over 68 on prime 95 blend for 8hrs
I thought i would push it a bit and go to 4.5ghz
obviously with dvid value that low my pc didnt like it at idle (vcore too low at idle caused 124 stop error)
I manually set the vcore to 1.260v with LLC set to 5 (has a slight droop and drops to 1.248v on load)
while it doesnt blue screen, core 4 fails at the 9th pass of 960k ftt while the others continue.
Thats fine i thought, its a voltage issue and with the cooler i have i cant risk higher temps as its not a pushpull configuration. so i went back to 4.4ghz
Anyway thats the back history of it
Now i have an issue where i do a blend for 4hrs or use IBT after a while my windows clock comes out of sync.
last night i was doing a test at my stable 4.4ghz and withing 30mins my windows time was out by 2 mins.
the night of my 4.5 instability tests it was nearly half an hour out even though bios shows correct time.
TLDR
Is it common for overclocks at this level to cause an effect where the windows time clock becomes slower and out of sync?
ive only done small overclocks before.
it concerns me as i cant trust it and i was i lost 30mins sleep the other night as my pc has the only clock in that room lol
