Help! Refresh rate!

So everything was working fine, not too sure when this actually started happening but I have overclocked my monitor to 74 Hz from 60, 

It was working fine until recently, not sure exactly when because I just checked it now because everything didn't feel as smooth. In my Nvidia settings it says my native resolution is 1920 x 1080 at 74 Hz, I click apply, and it just doesn't change

I go to my display adapter settings, check to see if its at 74 Hz like it usually is, and it's at 60! I go to change it and it says its at 74, I close it, reopen display adapter settings and its right back to selecting 60 Hz. 

 

So here you see me change it https://gyazo.com/92d6a955c59548c802d83c6cd2df6a83.

 

Then here you see me Reopen display adapter settings >monitor annnnd it says 60 Hz

you have to lower it; i have read somewhere that DVI doesn't like display overclocking past ~64hz.

It was working fine before this, and on nvidia it says im running at 74 Hz, but my display driver says otherwise..

People overclock to like 120 Hz with DVI on off-brand korean monitors.
