Question Overclocking a laptop monitor?

[toutougroup96]

Hello,
First of all I am aware that what I'm trying to do is completely insane but it's a good chance for me to learn how things work. So I have a laptop (ASUS TUF FX504) and it has a typical 60Hz monitor, and I'm a huge fan of Tom Clancy's: Rainbow Six Siege but my monitor was really holding me back and I'm sick of it as 144Hz monitors are way out of my budget, so I decided to overclock the monitor, in fact I was able to go as high as 90Hz. Which seemed weird for me and a person with nothing but a laptop to game on I couldn't risk breaking my monitor although all the internet seems to agree that nothing is harmful with monitor overclocking as long as you don't get a black screen upon going to higher refresh rates. So I settled on 75Hz which was working fine and no artifacts whatsoever. So my question is; Is there a REAL risk of damaging my monitor if I go as high as 90Hz? And what should I be concerned about?
Thanks for reading

I'm no monitor overclocking expert, but if 75Hz is working, and you're comfortable running it like that, I'd say go for it. As will all overclocks, though, it makes the device run hotter, and most monitors are passively cooled (I think). Basically what I'm saying is it could damage the lifespan of your monitor, and it's a laptop monitor, so it's even more fragile.
I'm thinking of overclocking my monitor. How did you do it?

Wait, is this what you have? https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/ASUS-TUF-Gaming-FX504/
If so, it says it has a 120Hz display already. Why don't you just set it to 120Hz in the display menu?
