ok so as it seems, switchable graphics machines cannot oc their screen refresh rate, since the intel igpu, through which the display signal goes is limited to the stock frequencies and max. 60hz. at least that was the case back when i first started using cru.

heres the detailed "manual" i sent to a buddy of mine who couldnt at first get it to work:

maybe this helps - this is how im using CRU:

in total, it shows three "AUO11ED Generic PnP Monitor" selections in my case. the first one I just leave the preset detailed resolution. in the second one i deleted the preset detailed resolution and left the box empty. the third one i used for my custom resolutions (deleted the preset resolution first). I chose "add detailed resolution" / automatic timing - best for LCD, typed in my specs, pressed OK and then rebooted my machine. after that, the custom profiles showed up in CCC in my Desktop Properties and I could select them as active profiles idle clocks didnt change, they stayed the same.

after inputting the custom profile and rebooting, check and see if it pops up in ur intel gpu or dgpu menu to be selected...

thanks for reply, unfortunately my laptop ignores everything higher than 160mhz in pixel clock, and I pretty sure it's(the limit) is somewhere in catalyst, because without catalyst, on clean windows, I can edit the EDID of monitor, and set high refresh rates... May be somehow it can be unlocked in modded catalyst, for now there is no such mods.

oops, thanked u by accident

anyways, u have to delete all stock refresh rates in cru and then input a new custom one. that ull have to set to lcd automatic and input the refresh rate that u want. after saving everything ull have to reboot and it should stick

doesn't work for me:cry_002::cry_002: on any drivers, may be I should switch to windows 7 or it's just my laptop...

oced the internal screen of my p150hm from 60 to 90hz just fine for like 2-3 years using cru. i could go up to 93-95 hz before getting any artifacts, but kept it at 90hz just for the sake of having a nice even figure

@sofacylel: btw, thx for the headsup on svp, will check it out!

ps: no surprise there@no noticeable difference going upwards of 90hz, since the human eye cant really process more than 100-120 hz. sure there are always more sensible people around who even see differences upwards of that, but at 200hz+ (the latest!) it just gets superfluous, if u ask me...

damn, can somebody tell me how do people goes over 160mhz pixel clock (in CRU)?

For example: when I try to OC to 75 hz (it is equal to 165+mhz pixel clock in CRU), and after I apply, it doesn't appear in Screen Refresh Rate in Windows. But when frequency is lower than 160mhz pixelclock, It works.

So for now I got only 70hz(160.54mhz PixelClock) aviable, other 71 and higher just didn't show. What I do wrong?

I overclocked lcd mod. CMO1720 (stock from 60 to 90Mhz) with the utility CRU.

The monitor works fine with this frequency (Also works at 100MHz but I did not want to risk too much) it no flickering graphical glitches.

I have read several opinions on the possible "life shortening" of the monitor overclocked.

Who says that it is dangerous, and that the risk is high, and others who reporting years and years without any problems.

Some of you have direct experience?

After overclocking, I noticed more fluidity in games, tangible difference... really, I like.... I like it very much

However, overclocking the refresh rate of the monitor ... the only risk is to break lcd... but no damage to the gpu, right???

Thank you!

hey, can u please make a qiuck tutorial about how to OC cmo1720, I got msi gx70, with this screen.

pleeease
