Yea, Catalyst is almost too easy to use, be very careful please. If you do want to overclock it and I can't sway you to avoid it then just make sure you do it very slowly and increase in small increments. I'm sure there are other guides and programs out there to use as well, just make sure you look around more before you start. I'm no monitor overclocking pro, I've only toyed with it on old equipment. Goodluck tho :)

I wouldn't suggest overclocking your monitor, it must be 60hz at least am I right? OC your monitor can be risky and for little gain. Also, Catalyst Control Center does have a utility for overdriving your monitor, doesn't matter what gpu you have.

You certainly CAN overclock monitors, although like you said (and I stated above) it will most likely do damage and can be risky. I've overclocked (overdriven) monitors plenty of times, simply to mess around with older equipment to see what hertz I could get out of it, it it definitely possible.

@chrisafp07 @chris yes, i was looking at the Asus PB278Q which can be oc to 85hz from 60hz. is the Catalyst easy to use? i am no to tech savvy
@ddpruit well Asus says this one can be and so do the reviews by others that the PB278Q can be for an additional 15hz
