Windows Settings Refresh Rate/OCing Monitor

Does changing the refresh rate in your Windows settings actually change the monitors refresh rate, or is that only done from the monitor's own settings?

 

My monitor's manual says that in order to achieve 144hz, I have to OC, but it also says doing so may damage the monitor. When I went to the OC settings, the options were off, low, middle, and high. The manual doesn't talk about these, though.

Refresh is set from Windows / your graphics card's control panel.

You must be confusing overclocking with overdrive, that's what those likely are.
