Crazy OC on monitor

Alright so a few months ago I found a good deal on an ultra-wide monitor that was only like $200 and had some nice specs. I finally got to overclocking it today found that it could overclock from 85 Hz all the way up to 130 Hz. Now the monitor already wasn't great with things like ghosting because it's a VA panel. IDK what are your thoughts on this OC I know that it can shorten the lifespan on my monitor, but does anyone actually know how much damage it can really do? Also does anyone have recommendations on a good cheap thing to color calibrate my monitor cause out of the box it was really bad, but I think I decent manual calibration I just want it to be a bit better.

I probably hold the record for the least number of posts to get Linus to respond to me :)

It wont do more damage than the act of running it in the first place, but this tends to ruin the gamma accuracy, causing a shift in color accuracy in the process. I dont think you'll find this significant though, since it's bad from the factory as you said

After running the 130Hz OC for a few days I can definitely tell the monitor is warmer no idea by how much, but the monitor is a Sceptre C305W-2560UN if anyone is wondering.
