Hi Evvivame,

I did not receive such or similar reports but this may be related to the current geographical location.
HDSentinel tries to connect to pool.ntp.org to get the valid and current time. That server may forward the query to an other server (depending on the actual location) to have the correct time.
HDSentinel has no control about the time provided by these servers, but of course checks if the time seems valid to prevent really bad values to be configured ;)

Hopefully on the next sync, HDSentinel will get the correct time from the server!

Will it damage anything if you do an overclock?

Overclocking may cause data transfer / synchronization issues between the hard disk (SSD) and the computer. This may reduce performance and reliability of the overall system. Hard Disk Sentinel shows warning if it finds problems between the communication which may cause problems.
