    Hi Jon

    I've tried running various other scripts at intervals of 1 minute or less over the last week as you suggested and they make virtually no difference to the PC clock.

    I've tried only running the speedfan script just incase there was some kind of bizarre conflict between it and others but it still causes the PC to loose about 3 mins a day.

    I'm totally bamboozled

    And yes, I am running version 1.02 of the script.

      I'm at a loss. If you want to use this then either use a free Internet Time sync program to adjust your clock (there are loads out there) or change the registry values in Windows to alter your clock more frequently.

        I have a similar problem and i did as Jon suggests using the Windows Registry method. My clock now corrects itself every 3 hours and everything works fine.

        Can't say if my clock issue is due to running the speedfan script though, It all works fine now so i'm not concerned.

          I think I'll give the registry tweak a go because I quite like the speedfan script.


          Thanks for your help

            I came up with this a while ago and Gogs whitepapered it.

            http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=128854

            Open the zip file and click on each of the three .reg files and reboot and your computer will update the time each hour.

                I am now running this script (version 1.02). The time for record highs and record lows is getting truncated. I changed the lines:

                HighValTime = Mid(HighValTime,1,5)
                LowValTime=Mid(LowValTime,1,5)

                to

                HighValTime = Mid(HighValTime,1,11)
                LowValTime=Mid(LowValTime,1,11)

                and it appears to be fixed. However, I haven't seen a time yet that has two digits in the hour, but I believe that should work.

                  cannot access SpeedFan log file

                  Jon,

                  I got the second error in my HS log about 30 times in a row in a 1 second period after the first error occurred. I'm almost 100% certain this happened when a virus scan of the machine was running. I don't know of any other software that would touch this file. The script has been running perfectly otherwise.

                  Would you consider adding error trapping so that this error could be ignored (not logged) if the user configures it this way?

                    Yes, I can do that but will probably have to be after Christmas now. How often are you running the script BTW?

                      No problem. I am running it once/minute on a single machine.

                      It looks like SpeedFan samples about every 4 seconds. I wish there was a way to select this sample rate as I would like to set it to every 60 seconds. Every 4 seconds burns too many CPU cycles for what I want.

                        I saw the errors again in the log and this time there was definitely not an anti-virus scan in progress. It must be a collision with SpeedFan itself.

                          It's probably the same issue as the UPS script in read/write collisions. That said, I have this running on 4 PC's and never see that error in the log.

                            Although my machine has plenty of memory, it's an older machine and not the speediest. I wonder if a slower machine (CPU, disk I/O, etc.) tends to aggravate the problem.

                              This worked with two digits in the hour.

                              Have you had a chance to trap this error? I get an error about once every day or so (which turns into numerous errors in the HS log).

                                No - I forgot about this I'll take a look during this week if I can.
