Thats the issue, DISABLE that.

 

Your monitor has in built OC in the OSD.

I have  an Acer Predator Ultrawide X34 LCD I bought a year or so ago. It overclocks to 90Hz. If I set it to 91Hz the screen blanks. Is it safe to run at 90Hz long term then? Or will it risk occasionally blanking out? I've been running it at 80Hz since the day I got it for the most part. I'm used to CPU's and GPU's that they can be finicky at that borderline clock speed, but wasn't sure if it was similar with LCD's or not.

Just like overclocking CPU and GPU, it will wear down the monitor faster, but I wouldnt care about it.

Hmm, not sure if CPU's and GPU's wear down faster by overclocking, especially running at stock voltages, unless it's due to an overheating issue.

Heat and voltage tend to do a card in when overclocking or even on stock.  I had an OG Titan die on stock volts/clocks because of heat output.

 

On monitor OCing, as long as the controller for the screen can handle the higher refresh rate, should last for a good while.  I have an old Overlord monitor that can go from 60hz to 120hz.  It still trucking.

Thanks. Damn, I remember setting those back when I originally got it. It was set at 90Hz. I just bumped it up to 100Hz and option is now available to run it at that. Duh, I'm dumb. Thanks for that.

now make sure windows under display adapter properties is running at the new refresh rate
