I checked your setup and considered the possibility of increasing the monitor's refresh rate. There are potential risks if you attempt to overclock it beyond its specifications, such as hardware stress or failure. It's best to confirm with the manufacturer's guidelines before making any changes.

Based on my experience, it poses no significant risk. I use a budget 1080p Acer monitor that I've overclocked from 60hz to 74hz for years without any problems as a secondary display. I haven't encountered anyone damaging a monitor through overclocking. Still, it might slightly raise the heat output, which could potentially affect its lifespan depending on the model. Overclocking can also alter gamma settings on certain panels, so changes in brightness or color balance may occur after adjusting it.

I've always used 60hz monitors without any problems. You'll notice through artifacts or blurry text if the monitor struggles with the refresh rate. That doesn't mean damage is impossible, but based on my experience and what others have shared, issues haven't arisen.

Minor adjustments generally function well (60 hz to 75 hz). However, I don't suggest going beyond that. Typically, you'll encounter no signal and have to go back to 60 hz.
