You need to “overclock” it in the displays menu settings. ---

If I remember correctly, when you change the frequency, the display is supposed to restart itself, which would result in a brief black screen followed by the start-up procedure. I haven’t had any issues with this function, so I can’t really help you with your issue. Your best bet would be to check the official ROG forums to see if this a known issue over there to find a solution. ---

If you set the monitor to 165Hz and get a black screen perhaps you haven’t got the right drivers in Windows and it can’t cope? Just guessing. I know I’ve had frame rate issues only to find, for some reason, windows had hard-set 60Hz in my monitor properties. ---

> [@buckiebull](#): > > bass-junkie-xl said: > you using a " good " display port cable or the one asus threw in the box ? The one I got from Asus I doubt that is the cause of your problem. I think I’m using the provided display port cable and have no problems. In any case, it’s been proven there’s very little difference between “premium” and budget cables. You are using the display port cable and not the hdmi cable?
