monitor overclocking

[dookie]

Anybody ever try it? i dont know anything about it but i just did mine for the first time using nvida pixel clock patcher. Went from 144hz native to 220hz stable and im wondering what the downsides are if any in the long term. Its been 220 all day no problem, anything higher will white screen after like 10 mintutes.

its pretty epic though

WOw, thats a nice OC for monitor. Almost 240 out of 144?

My trusty Asus VX 238 barely does 6 more hz above 60 :(

In any case, risks are "Same" as any kind of OCing, could burn out

ye its a qnix korean brand thing, they advertise stable 185 oc but it hits 220 no prob.

hopefully no explodey lol

Did you check for frame skipping? Ghosting? Blur? Colour? You need a high speed camera and go to ufotest site for the test. Capture the screen with the high speed camera.

Yes, the higher the overclock the faster they die. Most Qnix when overclocked beyond the advertised stable tend to die within a year.

I'm 100% positive your monitor is doing frame skipping at >180 hz.

ye i just checked the frame skipping with my phones slo mo cam , pretty sure it is skipping lol. gonna drop it back to 185

color does look a little lower contrast too, blacks are more gray

Colour is easier to fix just have to calibrate it.

Frame skipping means you're not getting the full 200hz so just drop back to 185Hz and check for frame skipping again.

With motion blur/ghosting just increase overdrive if your monitor has that settings.

All in all Qnix and Crossover are the better Korean monitors out there. Crossover just released a curved 34" 3440 x 1440 95Hz FreeSync. If this Vega isn't bubble I may switch to that lol.

just checked 200hz, shot a burst of like 50 pics lol seems better now. like solid 6-7 blocks on the skip test

had this monitor for a couple years just now messing around with it, was the cheapest 144hz possible paid like 170 for non dead pixel version. probs gonna upgrade soon anyway
