does the manufacturer block the OC?

How is the monitor connected?

Try going with HDMI or DP

How far are you trying to overclock. You have to remember not all monitors can overclock.

I'm not getting any black screens at the refresh rate I wanna put it at but the problem is that the monitor starts giving me a 'input signal out range' its not coming from the OS its coming from the actual monitor settings

Some monitors will actively look at the refresh rate and not display signals outside of the range that is software encoded into them. I have two 27" displays that use the same panel but different input boards one will not display anything over 60Hz giving me a similar message however my other display will overclock to 90Hz no problem.  Given the info above I would say that you can not overclock your display.

You can check to see if there is a firmware update for the display but I found that that was near impossible to find (at least for my korean display). If you have a popular model of display you might get lucky and find an updated firmware that removes the restriction however I would be somewhat hesitant in performing such an update.
