Question thinking of overclocking a 75 hz monitor, how much of a refresh rate boost shouldi expect?

[thatone_questionmark]

I may overclock a 75 hz monitor, what refresh rate can i overclock it up to, is it dangerous (will it harm the monitor?) or would it be better to overclock a 60 hz monitor instead?

no different. overclock is try to run it over the design spec

What refresh rates you can expect depends entirely on if the monitor can handle it. There's no hard or predictable number here.

As far as risks go, it's the same with overclocking anything else. You'll get more heat out of the part and if you're touching voltage, you run the risk of frying it if you go too high.

Hey there,

Well, monitors are a bit more finicky than other hardware to OC. Whilst most panels will do an extra 15mhz, that's typically the max for a lower HZ panel. Sometimes you can get more, sometimes, it's less.

In terms of longevity, well if your monitor is expected to last 5 years (warranty) and with an OC it might last 4.5yrs. It's not been gaged before, so it's really hard to quantify.

Nonetheless, OC the panel. If you get artifacts, go 5mhz lower untill it's stable. Use UFO test to see if it's maintinaing/processing the extra frames.

I've a BenQ 60hz panel running at 75hz flawlessly for the last 4 years.
