yes? there is no guarantee it will reach it though

 

*edit*

i should also add, there is no guarantee its going to be stabile as well. one of my monitors goes 90Hz no problem but crashes after a few minutes

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

it may break, or it may not after a longer time, depends on the components quality, but 70 hz should be fine.

You can try, but there is no guarantee it will reach that refresh rate. Plus, you need to consider that it may bring other drawbacks along

Monitor overclocking is just like overclocking anything else. You may be able to overclock it a lot, or perhaps not. My 60hz samsung monitor overclocks fine to 75hz, but my other samsung monitor overclocks to about 65hz, and nothing past that is stable. Check out this video:

no clue, i havent had a monitor die from a lot of use overclocked though, but my sample size is like 4 or so. its probably going to kill your monitor quicker like any overclocking, but i havent heard anyone being able to pinpoint overclocking their monior as the cause of death of it.
