Okay so I just bought an Asus VG27AQ monitor and it's coming tomorrow. I was doing some research on it on ASUS'S website but I noticed that you had to overclock the monitor to reach 165 hz. This isnt a new concept to me because I overclocked my pg279Q to 165 hz a few years ago. My question though is, even though ASUS advertises that these monitors are 165 hz, does ASUS cover their monitors under warranty if you happen to overclock them? I looked up thus question on google but found nothing.
I've grown accustomed over the years at gaming at 165 hz. I even consider the small frame drop I get (160 FPS or so at 144 hz to 100-120 FPS or so at 165) to be worth it. Because the picture is just... so beautiful at 165 hz. I probably cannot live without it. But comments on amazon had me worried. Apparently a lot of people were getting a white screen of death with the VG27AQ after only 6 months to a year of usage. If overclocking to 165 hz voids my warranty.... idk if the extra picture difference would really be worth it or not. I'd have to think about it. I mean, 165 hz is beautiful but is it really worth gambling $600 every 6 months- a year for? I'm a tad worried. What do you guys think? Worth the risk ?
