Slow RTC (Real Time Clock) on MSI MAG Tomahawk
Hello,
I discovered yesterday that on my MSI MAG Tomahawk AM4 motherboard seems to have a bit slow Real Time Clock (RTC). It seems to slow down 1.2 seconds in about 925 seconds. It seems not possible to fix this slow real time clock by chancing the 2032 battery on the motherboard so basically RTC is not ticking 1.000khz but a bit slower. This can be tested by using MSI's own version of CPU-Z MSI and using Timers-feature (About -> Timers). ACPI and QPC timers are running exactly at the same time but RTC is lagging behind.
My question is, could this have any negative impact of Apex Legends? This is a long shot and it is very unlikely that modern games are using RTC to measure e.g. game time but just wondering do I have to change my MOBO because of this.
Anyone have similar issues?

I would only go further with troubleshooting if I suspected the clock was actually causing an issue.
Maybe check for any available BIOS update?
Thanks.
