Not directly related, but I sometimes found that if not all things were updated or compatible from the hardware/software side, funny things happen. For instance, you'd want to ensure the monitor drivers, the monitor software for OCing, the video card and video card management software are all the latest. Otherwise funny things might happen. Heck, sometimes even the OS can contribute to something weird. It can be onerous and annoying to deal with.

I've had issues before where certain monitors were acting kinda funky (more black bar things that resolved if you restarted a computer) but not for reasons of OC. Most times, if you cant find a solution within an hour or two, you likely will never find a solution.

In my situation, I ended up so mad I just replaced the monitor after spending 5-6 hours tweaking/researching things and finding no solution. Mine was a work situation, not home situation though. $200-300 in new hardware that works straight out of the box is better than losing even 2-3 hours of valuable work time (I was tinkering with it during our down times though).

I love this monitor and don't want to go with another kind. I turned off OC and I'm at 144 refresh rate and I can't tell the difference.
