I have a 27es HP monitor. I was not aware that you could overclock the refresh rate of a monitor so please excuse my lack of knowledge on this. My monitor has a VGA port and HDMI port. I have a GTX 1060 6GB. When I go into the NVIDIA control panel and customize the monitor, I am able to go up to 80Hz. However, when I push apply I get this box that says input signal lost and then starts counting down from 30 to put my monitor to sleep. When I looked up what this mean't apparently people said that the bandwidth of the HDMI cable is not strong enough. I was able to gather that DVI cables are pretty good when overclocking and that there are new HDMI cables that are better for overclocking. Problem is, when I look if these HDMI cables are compatible with my monitor it doesn't show up. So basically, I have 3 questions, if I buy a converter cable(HDMI to DVI) will it be more powerful than this HDMI cord that I have which would allow me to overclock? Is this monitor capable of handling the updated versions of HDMI cables so I can overclock? Can this monitor even support overclock because some people said that it is not the cord and that it is the monitor. If anyone can link me a cord that will give me a better bandwidth to overclock then please link me some.
What cord can be used to overclock monitor?

Well you can't just go overclock to whatever you want. Some monitors will only overclock a few Hz. For instance, I had an Asus 60Hz monitor that would only go to 67Hz before it crashed.
Before you go buy a new cable; increase 1Hz at a time until you find the maximum stable refresh rate. That's just like any other overclocking.

I am aware of this, I went up by 1 every time. I was able to get 80 Hz and the test would say "successful, would you like to apply these settings?" If I went to 81, then my screen would go completely black. But 80 would past that test. When I tried to apply it then I would see the monitor at 80hz but then I would get this box saying how the input signal is not found which when I looked up I found out that it "input signal" could be the cord bandwidth.
