So I've been trying to OC my monitor because I want to get the most of it, and I got to about 75-80hz with 80hz getting a black bar on the right.
Problem is, my monitor doesn't seem to scale correctly when I change the refresh rate, or for some reason it's not using the correct aspect ratio and I can't figure it out.
Perfectly fine 1680x1050@60hz

75hz with the monitor's scaling set to "Fit to screen", sorry for the phone screenshots, PrintScreen just outputted a normal 1680x1050 image.

75hz with the monitor's scaling set to "Fit to aspect ratio" which is what leads me to believe that it is using the wrong aspect ratio for some reason.

My monitor is an HP LE2201w
Using CRU for the overclocking.
What type of input are you using?

As in DVA/VGA/HDMI?
I'm using VGA.

Go for DVI if you can, it will let you push more data to the screen, but generally 75hz is a pretty decent over clock for a 60hz screen

Don't think this monitor supports anything other than VGA.
I'd gladly settle for 75hz but as you can see I'm having some problems.

VGA could be your issue. VGA doesn't have a very high pixel clock, so you can't push enough data through it most likely to maintain the resolution and aspect ratio at that refresh rate.

VGA can run up to 2048x1536@85 Hz just fine assuming you have a properly shielded cable that isn't too long.
I think the OPs problem is he's trying to push a 7 year old analog display beyond limits it was designed for. It was designed for 1680x1050@60 Hz max, with some of the lower resolutions allowing up to 75 Hz.

Have you verified the monitor is actually displaying 75hz?
[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;51958136]Have you verified the monitor is actually displaying 75hz?[/QUOTE]
Yep, verified it using testufo.com, it's displaying both 75 and 78.

Not sure if it's the age, tried 75hz on 1280x1024 and it did the same thing.
I think you've just hit a wall. my asus vs238 has major display issues running above 70 Hz and my dell e2311h just wont go above 60 hz
