Overclocking monitors

unknownmiscreant · January 9, 2018

I have 2x Dell U2412M displays that I am trying to overclock. I have tried with nvidia control panel and Custom Resolution Utility v1.3.1 made by Toasty X. But I can't get more than 61Hz out of them, it runs at 62, but my phone camera picks up blacks bars.

Theres a dell rep over on their forums saying it can do 64Hz at 1280x1024 but I can't even get that to work. Am I doing something wrong? I have tried using the standard, native and reduced presets.

Monitors often don't overclock very well. My 34UM95 was tested by previous owner and didn't go above 61Hz either.

In addition, not all panels overclock the same, it's the similar thing as silicon lottery.

I can only get 145hz out of my monitor. That extra 2 hz you’re not getting isn’t going to make a difference at all whatsoever. At like 70hz you start seeing a bigger difference but you just didn’t get lucky
