Hi guys, this is my first post here (and I'm not exactly sure if I'm posting in the right subforum either, haha).
I recently overclocked my 4770K, just yesterday, to be specific. I stress tested it with IBT (max level, 10 times) and ran it through AIDA64 for 8 hours. The processor didn't overheat and throttle down during either IBT or AIDA64, nor did it blue screen on me. The only problem I have is that during the stress tests, my computer's clock (the actual clock indicating the time) would suddenly be off by an hour by the time I check back (which varied quite a bit, sometimes I would notice the clock is off after being gone for 20 minutes and sometimes I would see the clock being completely off after 3 hours). I initially assumed that this was normal during stress tests and just ignored it after changing the time back. But today I turned on the computer and found the time to be completely off again, again I would resync the clock and again it would suddenly be an hour behind after a while (played some DCS World and Arma2 for testing purposes, both which I believe are more CPU intensive). Now I'm concerned about if I actually have a stable setup or not and if this is an indication of a greater problem somewhere (could I possibly have damaged the processor during the tests?). This has only began happening after I overclocked my processor and googling has led me to no actual answer other than "CMOS battery is close to dying, replace it".
Is there anyone here who had this problem before? If so, are there any solutions to my dilemma? Much appreciated if you do. Below is my current system specs that I believe to relevant to the topic at hand.
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
CPU - i7 4770K (1.28V 4.60GHz, changed through UFEI BIOS by changing the multiplier to 46, didn't touch anything else)
Motherboard - ASUS Maximus Hero VI (rev.0804, came with the board and I never bothered to upgrade)
RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (DDR3 1600)
On a side note, I use pool.ntp.org for my time server. I'm not sure if this is relevant or not, but just in case.
