Monitor Overclocking. Please Help!

[sciamwow]

I'm pretty sure I followed the correct steps to overclock my monitor (HP 2009m). But any time I set the refresh rate to anything higher than 60hz, the resolution goes all weird and extends beyond the screen. I set it to 75hz to test it and went to testufo.com and it showed it was running at 75hz there, but the resolution was still messed up. The monitor is 1600x900, and all settings I checked said it was running at that resolution. Please help?

When you overclock there is no guarantee that it will work. I don't have any advice beyond that unfortunately.

The clock rate of your monitor is best left in sync with your graphics subsystem. Both must be capable of your 1600x900 resolution at the higher refresh rate.

Otherwise, yah can't see what is on the screen

are you using onboard video or a videocard?

MSI r9 280. You can see my build in my signature

I mean I'm pretty sure I set up the GPU for it to be able to run at that, but maybe I didn't do it correctly

I know that that is the native/recommended resolution, but some monitors can have higher refresh rates if you overclock it

maybe the higher end monitors but is yours a highend monitor?

Not particularly. But I've heard of some low-end Korean monitors being able to overclock

I have the Qnix 1440p korean monitor and I have it overclocked to 96Hz, these ones are stupid easy to overclock and dirt cheap.
