I overclocked my monitor to 70hz (32" 4k) and now it wont let me enable Freesync in the Radeon control panel. It does under Gaming, but not under Display. It's enabled in the monitor OSD menu. Does it not work if overclocked?

Freesync range often tops at stock max refresh rate, so that's expected.

Most adaptive sync monitors have a pre-determined range in which adaptive sync actually works; it's usually 46-60 or 46-144. I know Freesync 2 added low-framerate compensation as a requirement, but I don't know if they extended overclocking support on monitors not designed for such. Although, most monitors only use Freesync 1. So unless your monitor is specifically designed to be overclocked, you probably won't be able to use Freesync.
