Pros & Cons

Atomic Clock Sync 2.6 Specs

Type: Personal

Numerous programs can keep your system's clock set properly, but our favorite is Atomic Clock Sync 2.6 (free). It connects to a server at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to set your PC clock to the most accurate time possible. The program automatically pings the server once a day, and if you like to keep you computer time set ahead, there's a configurable offset.
