Question Overclocking a laptop monitor?
Hello,
I want to be clear that what I'm attempting is quite unusual, but it gives me a chance to understand how things function. I own a laptop (ASUS TUF FX504) with a standard 60Hz monitor. I'm a big fan of Tom Clancy's: Rainbow Six Siege, but my monitor has been limiting me. I'm willing to go overclock it, and I managed to reach up to 90Hz. This felt unusual for someone just using a laptop to play games. I don't want to risk damaging the monitor, even though everyone says it's safe as long as you don't encounter a black screen at higher refresh rates. I settled on 75Hz, which worked well without any issues. My main concern is whether pushing the monitor to 90Hz could cause any damage. What should I worry about?
Thanks for reading
I'm not a specialist in monitor overclocking, but if 75Hz is functioning and you're okay with that level, I'd suggest proceeding. As with all overclocking, it can cause the device to heat up more, and most monitors rely on passive cooling. In short, it might affect the monitor's lifespan, especially since it's a laptop model which is more sensitive.
I'm considering overclocking my monitor. How did you manage it?
Does this match what you expected? The page indicates it already has a 120Hz display. Wouldn't it be better to adjust it there instead?
