Is it worth overclocking your monitor ?

[Some_Dude]

So, i have an HP W2072a monitor with max resolution of 1600x900 at 60hz attached to my motherboard using a VGA cable, i have a prebuilt pc from HP (HP Prodesk 600 G1 Tower), specs are: intel hd 4600 integrated graphics, i7 4770(non k), 8GBs of ram and 1TB HDD.

 

I recently found out that i can "overclock" my panel to 75hz using a custom resolution of 1600x900 with 75 hz, and i was wondering is it safe to do that ? and is it worth it ?

I usualy play fps games like CSGO and Insurgency and having that 75hz would help.

 

PS. my driver verison is 20.19.15.4568 because the latest verisons have artifact problems in-games.

PSS. the image after "overclocking" is blurier than usual but since i mostly play games at lower resolution i dont really mind for games.

Totally safe.  The extra frames will definitely help.

 

So you understand where I am coming from, my monitor is overclocked as well.  From 75 to 100Hz, no damage no issues.

Been there, done that.  I'd absolutely recommend it.

Thank you all for your replies.

Then imma start using it for gaming and revert back to 60hz for normal usage.

Depends on the monitor.

 

All my 60hz monitors frame skipped at 75hz. 

 

Use this to test.

i tried the test and there doesn't appear to be any frame skipping, i took 3 pics to be sure, tho im facing another problem rn, when i open a game it seems to automatically revert back to 60hz, if i had to guess its probably from the intel hd graphics drivers

setting a custom resolution for 1024x768 (csgo res) with 75hz seemed to fix the problem, only thing i cant get now is in 1600x900 the monitor says "H = 71kHz V = 75hz" and for 1024x768 it says "H = 60kHz V = 75hz", is that normal or ?
