S2417DG, 165Hz overclock isn't working
Hi Guys,
So I just got this monitor and it's amazing. I've set it to 144Hz in Windows and that's all perfect.
When I try to overclock it, it's a completely different story, this is what happened:
- In Windows set refresh rate to 144Hz
- On the OSD I set response to "fast"
- On the OSD I set the overclock to 165Hz
- The monitor prompts me that it needs a restart and I accept
- The monitor initiates restart and then just stays black and nothing I do makes it come right
I've also tried turning power saving mode off before I do this and it still just goes black and doesn't come on.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Are all these monitors capable of doing 165Hz or is it just silicon lottery?

So apparently, it works now. Anyone struggling with a black screen after overclocking, I hope this helps:
Hopefully that helps someone, I was trying literally EVERYTHING and it wasn't working.
Perhaps it's random or perhaps these steps will help.
Good luck!
