    So far I have only noticed this in Windows. Some times the temprature displays incorrectly, just shoots up to 80-90 (not really the actual temp) (sometimes it does this at startup). Then the fans increase to 6200-6300 RPMs and then later on the temprature reads correctly. Without any change in physical temp after a few minutes the actual readings are typically 45-50c. This is showing in AIDA64. Any ideas what is causing this? I will double check OS X to make sure its not doing the same thing.

    Try a different program maybe. I know in the gaming review in this forum he said the program he used caused the incorrect values, so it might be the same one you're using.

    I have considered this but the only reason I did when the temps claim its running 80-90c the fan kicks up to 6200-6300 rpm like it really is warm but its at room temp or slightly colder.

    Try Hwinfo32 to see what values it reports.
    Also run lubbos fan control (1.0 should be the latest version).
    Set it to ATI 1gpu 2 fans.

    Also, check your system monitor to see what could be using a lot of your cpu

    Also another issue I have been having under both OS-X and under Windows the clock magically sets itself to the wrong time. I have it set not to automatically update and have it locked. Any ideas what could cause this?

    you mean the time in Windows under bootcamp? if you set time correctly in bootcamp, the time will changed in mac osx.

    try the following fix:
    (credits: prasys, apple discussion)
    1. Boot Windows
    2. Click Start --> Run and type regedit. Click OK
    3. The Windows Registry Editor should pop up. Navigate within the explorer to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\TimeZoneInformation
    4. Right click on the empty space right below ‘TimeZoneKeyName’ and create a new Dword (32-bit). On 32-bit versions of Windows 7/Vista , you will only see D-WORD .
    5. Rename the new DWORD as “RealTimeIsUniversal” (without quotes and its case-sensitive) .
    7. Double click on the new DWORD and change its value data “0″ (thats a zero) to “1″ (one) . Its in hexadecimal. Click Ok.
    8. Reboot to MacOS X , set the time properly and now boot back to Windows. You should notice the time should be alrighty

    Let me clarify, the problem isn't OS X and Windows not matching (cause they do) its randomly changing the entire system time. I can use only OS X for a while and all of the sudden the time randomly changes without warning. I can use Windows under bootcamp and the system time will randomly change without warning without the auto update time button selected. Both OS X and Windows clocks match exact.
