Anybody overclock monitors?

Phen8210 · Oct 4, 2015

Currently using a Philips 202EL2SB 60hz, able to OC to 77hz before any image degradation or failure.

I overclock by using custom resolution utility (CRU)

verify monitor frame skipping using
http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping

So far so good, i can say going from 60hz to 77hz is extremely noticable.

How much can ur monitor OC?? interested to see the results!!

any signs of blurring occur? cos mine can hit 85hz.. but from 78 onwards will blur so i decide just leave it at 77

Got a few utilities to help, but some times only at lower resolution.

After OC still must verify whether the refresh rate is as indicated.

Anw if you oc monitor means giving up vsync leh. Hearsay overclock monitor the ports very fast up lorry.

Follow instruction,
just go manual then type the resolution and ref rate you want.

Then after that, you type liao go restart your driver using the tools they provide. If driver restart fail and no display, hit F8.

After which, go to control panel and select advance display settings, then select the intended refresh rate (the one you typed into the CRU will be reflected)

If no display at this point in time, dont worry, the settings will revert in 10 seconds, then you should have display already.

After done then you go to test for frame skip in the website given by Phen. Use chrome/firefox. Microsoft edge cannot for some weird reason. If valid means you're good to go.

I think got people able to crank to 80Hz the P2414H (not U); U2414H to 75Hz. But they play with other settings. I was able to crank up to 75Hz using the settings some of the other users tried, but doing so resulted in no sound outgoing to monitor via DP.

Good luck and your mileage may vary!

My Yamasaki Catleap Q270 2B Extreme is over clocked to 120hz with no frame skipping issues. Perfectly silky smooth and so much smoother than crappy 60hz. Using nvidia cp to achieve it.

does this somehow increase the game framerate or experience? :s11:

it increases the number of frames u can see on ur screen.. in competitive gaming every frame counts.

how to check for frame skip? just let the website run?
it says 60fps although its 82hz in my nvidia control panel.
and i cant feel the difference btwn 60hz and 82hz :s11:

Make sure the web says valid, if not maybe not in sync?

Must play games to feel the difference. 82fps should feel a tad smoother
