So I heard that overlocking a monitor might cause damage or shorten its lifespan, isn't it? And when I tried the custom resolution utility, I found out my monitor can handle overlocking at 60Hz to 76Hz, is it safe? I'm really worried.

Monitor refresh rate doesn’t affect FPS unless you’re using V-Sync or an adaptive refresh rate with FPS limiter. It shouldn’t cause stuttering either. A higher refresh rate usually improves smoothness, reduces ghosting, and shortens response times. If you still experience stuttering, it might be due to something else or not the stuttering you think of.

People have increased refresh rates on displays for years mainly to reduce eye strain and avoid headaches from fluorescent lights. It's unclear how this would lead to damage if the refresh rate is already sufficient and not an artificial change.

Modifying performance settings may harm the device. any way.
What makes you think overclocking the refresh rate is necessary?

They mentioned that increasing the refresh rate results in more stable frames per second, and even though my CPU and GPU are good, I still experience stuttering in my games. Since I'm not a dedicated PC user and played games like "Minecraft," "CSGO," and "LoL," I noticed that CSGO and Minecraft often have FPS issues. I now suspect the problem might be with my monitor.

when checking display settings, it shows only that my monitor supports a 60hz refresh rate, but in CRU it mentions it can handle 76hz. Is this still pushing my monitor beyond its limits? And could you add some attachments so I can review the images here?

you generally aim to display frames near your refresh rate. if achieving 200 FPS in cs:go isn't beneficial because the screen only supports 60-75 fps, the system won't function properly, rendering frames that never appear. limiting your frame rate just above your refresh will help—70 fps on a 60 Hz display ensures enough frames per second for smooth performance and avoids issues since both devices stay in sync. speed isn't the priority; balance matters more.

Even after boosting the monitor's refresh rate from 60 to 75Hz, it's unlikely you'll notice a change.

You're right, monitoring might not be the main issue. Upgrading to an SSD and replacing your HDD could help improve performance. Let me know if you need more details. Thanks!
