You want you time as close to correct as possible.  As long as the decodes are 1 second or less you should not have an issue with making the contact  Once you get past -18 or so it's a crapshoot on if they hear you or not

Question when using ft8 and ft4 and you go to time.is <http://time.is> and it does NOT say your time is exact, how much does that hurt your chances of not completing a contact? Say you are off by 0.2 seconds. Is that close enough? I have a very old desktop running windows 10. Run wsjt-x 2.1.2. Isn’t it more about the dB level? I’ve had reports of 00 and reports of -22. Just trying to figure out if synch is critical.

    I have a Dell laptop, the CMOS battery went dead. It was under the
    hard drive, easy to replace, but you have to use one that fits the
    computer. On desktops most can be replaced with no tools once you
    get to the motherboard, but some are soldered in place and may
    require more effort to change.

        Every computer has a CMOS battery. The first sign that the
        battery needs to be replaced is the loss of accuracy of your
        computer's clock.

        On desktop computers, it is a button battery on the
        motherboard anf is easily replaced.

        My computer clock will not stay synched. I have tried
        downloading Meinberg and Net Time and other softwares but none
        of them works. Is there anyone out there who has team viewer
        or something similiar who could see what I have set up wrong?
        I have tried many times to troubleshoot this and still can't
        get it to synch. Dimension 4 doesn't work either. I need help
        to find out where I messed up the computer. Thanks and sorry
        to ask for help.
