Is it secure to increase a monitor's Hz?
Hello, I purchased a new monitor that supports 75Hz but only via DisplayPort. Since my motherboard doesn’t have DisplayPort, this cable won’t work for me and I’m using HDMI instead. With an HDMI cable, the monitor can only display 60Hz, but I discovered a program that overclocks the monitor’s frequency, which resolved the issue. Now I’ve been able to run at 75Hz for three days without any problems, as long as I use the right cable. Is this safe? Should I revert to a 60Hz HDMI connection? Anyone have advice on this? Thank you all.
It shouldn't cause any damage, particularly because it already handles 75hz on Display Port. The main problems might be related to the monitor waking up from standby or full-screen issues if it doesn't support 75hz over HDMI. I wouldn't be concerned unless you've experienced any issues before, as it's unlikely to harm anything.

If it's been functioning well before, you probably won't notice anything.
