[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1354305, member: 110816"] Do you have Mac to set time automatically or are you constantly setting it yourself? Every RTC has some jitter in it, some more than others and they will drift..setting the option to setting the time automatically will ensure that you are syncing with a remote NTP (network time protocol) server and correcting your local time. The sync should be happening frequently enough that you wouldn't/shouldn't notice any drift.. [/QUOTE]
