can i run 144hz from motherboard

[shadowbutt7]

Hello. 

i recently just built a new pc, however i don't have my graphics card yet.

i have a 144hz monitor (kogan 144hz freesync) to be exact. i was wondering if a can run my monitor at 144hz through my motherboard, im using a displayport cable, but when i go into monitor settings its only showing me 64hz at 1080p. and yes i do mean 64hz, not 60hz, weird i know. ive tried seeing whats going on with my monitors own settings and i cant find anything, ive looked in my computers settings and i can still only run 64hz. when i turn my monitor on it comes up with a little banner saying "1920x1080 60hz" 

 

my specs are:

mobo: asus prime z370-a

cpu: intel i5 8400

ram: crucial ballistix Lt sport 2x8gb 

ssd: western digital green m.2 120gb

hhd: seagate 1tb hard drive

gpu: galax gtx 1070 8gb sniper white (getting in in a month)

 

also i cant get sound to come through my monitors speakers with display port, but it works when i plug my laptop in using hdmi, 

 

Cheers, Jack

are you using hdmi out from mobo or dp? im sure current gen hdmi only supports around 60hz?

It's not going to work. Your MB output won't support anymore than 60hz for that board:

 

"- Supports DVI-D with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz 
- Supports HDMI 1.4b with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
- Supports DisplayPort with max. resolution 4096 x 2304 @ 60 Hz "

 

Just wait until you get your card then you can tune all these things.

Ye you know haha

Actually Nm, i found a way to do it. basically you have to download intels hd graphics control panel thingy. and then you can set the monitors refresh rate from there.

Ah yes you can indeed. I have my monitors at my office overclocked using that.

 

However, we were going on the specs from Asus which said nope lol.
