<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a double monitor setup. One of my monitor, an ASUS VG249Q1R can run at 165 Hz after I enable overclocking in its user interface. Before, it can only run 60 Hz. But when I set it to 165 Hz it only shows random colors (white, blue, green, ...). It works with 144 Hz though. </p> <p>This is my /etc/X11/10-monitor.conf with 144 Hz that works:</p> <pre><code>Section &quot;ServerFlags&quot; Option &quot;BlankTime&quot; &quot;0&quot; EndSection Section &quot;Monitor&quot; Identifier &quot;HDMI-A-1&quot; Modeline &quot;192x108&quot; 220.75 1920 2064 2264 2608 1080 1083 1088 1130 -hsync +vsync Option &quot;PreferredMode&quot; &quot;192x108&quot; Option &quot;RightOf&quot; &quot;DisplayPort-0&quot; EndSection # This is the monitor Section &quot;Monitor&quot; Identifier &quot;DisplayPort-0&quot; Modeline &quot;192x108&quot; 452.50 1920 2088 2296 2672 1080 1083 1088 1177 -hsync +vsync Option &quot;PreferredMode&quot; &quot;192x108&quot; Option &quot;Primary&quot; &quot;true&quot; EndSection </code></pre> <p>And this is the same file with something with 165 Hz that causes X or whatever to show those random colors:</p> <pre><code>Section &quot;ServerFlags&quot; Option &quot;BlankTime&quot; &quot;0&quot; EndSection Section &quot;Monitor&quot; Identifier &quot;HDMI-A-1&quot; Modeline &quot;192x108&quot; 525.00 1920 2088 2296 2672 1080 1083 1088 1192 -hsync +vsync Option &quot;PreferredMode&quot; &quot;192x108&quot; Option &quot;RightOf&quot; &quot;DisplayPort-0&quot; EndSection # This is the monitor Section &quot;Monitor&quot; Identifier &quot;DisplayPort-0&quot; Modeline &quot;192x108&quot; 455.75 1920 2088 2296 2672 1080 1083 1088 1177 -hsync +vsync Option &quot;PreferredMode&quot; &quot;192x108&quot; Option &quot;Primary&quot; &quot;true&quot; EndSection </code></pre> <p>Both modelines are calculated using <code>cvt</code>.And finally, this is my /etc/X11/20-amdgpu.conf (I use an AMD Radeon RX 590):</p> <pre><code>Section &quot;Device&quot; Identifier &quot;AMD&quot; Driver &quot;amdgpu&quot; Option &quot;TearFree&quot; &quot;true&quot; Option &quot;VariableRefresh&quot; &quot;true&quot; EndSection </code></pre> <p>What can I do in order to have a refresh rate of 165 Hz instead of 144 Hz?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/patri9ck"> /u/patri9ck </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r5ptq2/monitor_only_shows_random_colors_when_setting_a/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r5ptq2/monitor_only_shows_random_colors_when_setting_a/">[comments]</a></span>
