HP E240q Overclock to 75Hz

[JaZoN_XD]

Hi everyone, wanted to ask if anyone has experience with these HP monitors.

 

This monitor is a 1440p x 60 Hz monitor. I found that it can go up to 75 Hz when setting custom Nvidia resolutions which makes a nice difference. However whenever I do so, even though the image is displayed just fine, the monitor itself decides that the "input is out of range" and forces monitor to go to sleep after 30 seconds.

 

Has anyone found a way to disable this or a workaround? Would be nice to use this monitor at 75 Hz.

 

Thanks!

I have similar monitors that are 1080p 60hz that I have overclocked. The way I fixed it was to just run it at 74Hz. It takes a highly trained eye to tell the difference, and for the most part people cannot tell the difference.

Ah, no luck. Setting it to 74 Hz also triggers the "input out of range" message. Even at 61 Hz it does this. I am on Displayport btw.
