bruin4life Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi, i've tried searching for 2 days on this topic, but couldn't really find anything. I have an Asus P5b-Deluxe with an e6300 1.86ghz core duo 2. I know about the XP, OS X time sync issue, but im not talking about that. I'm talkin about when i go into the system clock, each second is more like half a second, as in time "flies by" faster in OS X than it does. Can someone shed some light on this? ... and please, don't be condescending as I am a computer engineer, but this is my first os x installation. thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32302-time-too-fast-after-installing-os-x-1048/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Remember to set fsb at boot or in boot.plist fsb=xxx (where xxx is a number like 133, 166 or 200) fsb is a frequency fsb (freq) = fsb (speed) / 4 (OSX) System Profiler -> Hardware -> Bus Speed (fsb speed) (Win) PC Wizard -> Mainboard -> Chipset -> freq and speed avail At boot prompt, type: fsb=xxx or add fsb=xxx to Kernel Flags in boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32302-time-too-fast-after-installing-os-x-1048/#findComment-226491 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jibbage Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 At boot prompt, type: fsb=xxx or add fsb=xxx to Kernel Flags in boot.plist just to get this clear, after pressing F8 at the bootloader, I type 'fsb = 266' and then hit enter? Is there anything more to it than this? I did this and I still have a fast clock. Is this only in the semthex kernel? I don't remember having this problem in 10.4.6.

errandwolfe Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I have a variant on this problem.... I am gaining time but only about 3-10 minutes per day. My FSB is set correctly at 133, I have no audio or video stuttering problems.

BalintSan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am gaining time too.

errandwolfe Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What apps you run does seem to change the amount of time "gained". For example on a day where I do nothing but web surf I may only gain about 3 minutes. If I run Parallels, I might gain 5 or 6. If I run Parallels and World of Warcraft (which I can do at the same time amazingly well - Windows {censored} slap heard in the distance) then I will gain around 10 minutes.

BalintSan Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Apps like mencoder, visualhub (x264 encoding), yes command in terminal, Spotlight on NTFS volumes, etc. If you set time by time server and check in SysPref Date Time, in console log can you see entries like this : Looking for host time.euro.apple.com and service ntp host found : media1r.euro.apple.com 14 Nov 00:48:44 ntpdate[260]: step time server 17.72.133.45 offset -22.573556 sec 2006-11-14 00:48:44.644 SystemUIServer[222] lang is:hu Looking for host time.euro.apple.com and service ntp host found : media1r.euro.apple.com 14 Nov 00:56:33 ntpdate[279]: step time server 17.72.133.45 offset -2.837904 sec 2006-11-14 00:56:33.673 SystemUIServer[222] lang is:hu Looking for host time.euro.apple.com and service ntp host found : interweb.euro.apple.com 14 Nov 00:58:14 ntpdate[284]: step time server 17.72.133.42 offset -0.607447 sec 2006-11-14 00:58:14.062 SystemUIServer[222] lang is:hu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32302-time-too-fast-after-installing-os-x-1048/#findComment-233650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 just one comment - fsb is not exactly 133 or 200, it's smtng like 133.1 or 199.98 and i know only one kernel with FSB autodetect, which work great for me/ DaemonES mach_kernel you can download it here http://www.applelife.ru/developer/ with mifki kernel and manually setting fsb in boot.plist i get over 2 minutes difference through every 24h Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32302-time-too-fast-after-installing-os-x-1048/#findComment-233951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2000rick Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 now how would you go about changing the kernel your using? or for that matter installing a different kernel then the two given on Jas' 10.4.8 DVD? I've always just installed what was on the DVD ...
