Increasing the frame rate of my 4k monitor from 30hz to its advertised 60hz

[Hammar]

I purchased a "Phillips 28-Inch 4K Ultra HD LED Monitor w/ 3840 x 2160 resolution (288P6LJEB)" which, its its description states "Ultra Clear 4K UHD Resolution of 3840 x 2160@ 60hz". While playing games with a frame rate counter on, I noticed that v-sync automatically syncs to 30fps instead of 60fps which I thought was odd so I checked and found in the properties of my monitor that it is limited to 30hz. My pc build (i5-4460, 8g ram, AMD radeon R9 290x 4g) should be more than capable to run at 60hz naturally so I assume that it must be a feature with the screen trying to not harm itself? Additional notes are that I use a dvi cable and that amd catalyst control center only allows 60hz at 1080p which is not why I bought the monitor. Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: Thanks, I overlooked dvi and displayport thinking they were the same, I bought it used and didnt have a manual. Feel silly on my part.

How about read the manual.

Page 29 lays it out pretty clear.

You need display port 1.2 for 60hz, which your GPU should support while using a displayport cable, and as said in the manual, setting the monitor to displayport 1.2 mode.

HDMI, DVI, are limited to 30hz.

because the cable you have doesnt support 60hz on 4k the only cable that is capable of it is the displayport not dvi.

Thanks, I found this like a week after I posted this question, thanks anyway! My next issue though is that when I've switched it to the 1.2 setting, my monitor goes to a full black screen for a few seconds roughly every 30 seconds and will also make loud 'popping' or 'crackling' noises. It does not do this if I am on 1.1 and I have tried two different cables, one that came with the monitor and one from monoprice. Is there any fix to this or do I need a new monitor? Thanks
