Thanks, Mike & Jan.

I’m running on bare metal HP Gen9 blade. I have started looking at the BIOS 
settings and as far as I can tell there are a lot of options that affect CPU 
frequency and they are turned on.

I will check tomorrow if ‘Spread Spectrum’ is available and is turned on as I 
don’t have access to the machine right now.

I do know that settings like Intel Turbo Boost, and dynamic power control are 
on. Although HP support says that they are not aware of any settings that 
impact NTP on the host.


Regards,
Sean

Sean: plug "bios spread spectrum" into your favourite search engine for
more info.
You want to disable that for accurate timekeeping.
