[SOLVED] is laptop monitor overclock safe?

[bogdi2728]

hello! i have a msi gf63 thi 9rcx laptop wich has a 60hz monitor,so i decided to use CRU to overclock my monitor to 75hz,after i applied the new refresh rate from my display settings i had no screen glitches (sometimes i can see a white line at the top of my screen but no so often),i can feel te diffrence between 60hz and 75hz so i kindda want to keep iit.my question is:is it safe to use? can my screen stop working after some time?can it blow up? what can happen after some time?

Well idk about laptops, but i managed fo overclock all 3 of my displays from 60hz to 75hz, all 3 are stable without any glitches.
Im sure if the display accepted it, it is fine, if it werent you would get a black screen for 20-ish seconds and it would return you back to 60hz.

Some monitors instead of fallback to previous mode may switch to lower refresh rate or lower resolution.

when i apply my 75hz refresh rate i can see a white line glitching on the top of the screen somethimes,is it safe to use?

Then 75 Hz refresh rate for that screen is not correct.

i went to 70hz and it seems to be pretty fine.But what can happen in time?

Overclocking is like a new boss that starts pushing you at the extremes, wanting you to work more, taking you out from your comfort zone.
In time, you might explode in anger, or quit your job! 🤣

Most electronic components are not specd at 100%. Things like capacitors are rated 240v-600v, even though they'll never see anywhere near that kind of voltage on a motherboard. So there's almost always some room to play with.

So you'd think OC a monitor would be safe, by that reasoning. But that overspec carries with it a certain amount of life, a capacitor rated 600v might only last 10 minutes before overheating at 600v, that rating intended for very short term spikes, not continuous useage.

So to answer, is it safe? Sure. It's not glitching, stable, no flickers etc. But the real question is for how long. Did you just take that monitors 10year expected life and reduce it to 10 weeks at that refresh?

You'll find that monitors able to be oc'd by conventional means, like the Asus ROG Swifts, have menus built in for such, being specd at the OC value for life expectancy, the standard refresh being just a default setting.

It's OC. There are no guarantees of success or failure, but it is something you do at your own risk.
