I've got a HP S2031 Monitor. I've "overclocked" it to 72hz from 60hz (1600x900 px) to match my main monitor (72hz too) and avoid the ocasional scrolling lag I had with mismatching refresh rates on Windows 11 25H2. Will it be safe?

I’ve got a HP S2031 Monitor. I’ve “overclocked” it to 72hz from 60hz (1600×900 px) to match my main monitor (72hz too) and avoid the ocasional scrolling lag I had with mismatching refresh rates on Windows 11 25H2. Will it be safe?

I did it by using CRU utility by ToastyX and adding a detailed resolution, restarted driver and selected 72 hz on advanced settings. Boom, it's working. I restarted my system even to be sure things work good. Seems it's fine (I did it today), but I wanna make sure it's not too extreme for this little oldie of mine.

According to AIDA64, maximum pixel frequency is 170mhz (Currently running at 129.60mhz with the overclock), and vertical freq is 76hz, and seems energy consumption is 28W

Also I would like to know if it will consume much more power with this slight overclock (if it's considered even an overclock given what the manual and AIDA64 tell me, supposedly, it can run at this without problems…)

Thanks in advance for any info.

Cheers!
