Would overclocking this monitor be risky/bad ? What does it mean to overclock it to 165hz ?

No, I mean that monitor is kinda meant to be overclocked. It’s not risky or anything. Out of the box it runs at 144Hz, or it refreshes 144 Times a second. Overclocking it would push the panel to refresh 165Hz, which is what it is technically designed to do. You should be fine.

Is this easy to accomplish ?
