I have a strange bug with my EVGA 58X SLI motherboard and Intel i7 920 CPU where if I OC the CPU my computer timer changes. Game animations, music, and dialogue all speed up super quickly. This makes games impossible to play and puts me at a risk for speed hacking in online games. Windows timers and animations are also sped up. 
Extra info:
-The OC is recognised on startup before Windows boots, but after the Windows boot CPU-Z and computer properties don't seem to recognise the change.
-My OC was an attempt to bring it to 3.6 ghz from its stock 2.67ghz
-I overclocked through the BIOS.
 -I'm running Windows 10.

    #1 Enable HPET inside the motherboard bios.
    #2 Open command prompt and type "bcdedit /set useplatformclock true" without the quotes then restart your computer and see if problem is resolved.

    Are you running the latest bios? Try looking under power management setup.
