I'm kind of needing some help.
I'm trying to overclock a monitor with a native resolution of 2560x1440 running at 165Hz out of the box.
I have Vega 64 as GPU and I already did the AMD pixel patcher 1.4.8.

Unfortunately, the CRU won't let me overclock the refresh rate.
I'm overclocking this monitor for experience and knowledge.

After some investigation and tinkering, I found out that the CRU just won't simply let me go anything above 655.35MHz Pixel Clock rate.
The odd thing is that the monitor is rated 165Hz Refresh Rate but when I run CRU, it won't let me set a 165Hz refresh rate and it prevents me to go above 162Hz with a 2560x1440p resolution even though the monitor is rated 165Hz at the same resolution. Everything is by default.

Can anyone enlighten me on what's wrong?

I also did the same thing on my other monitors and CRU is limiting me to 655.35MHz pixel clock rate no matter what.

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you for spending time reading this.

You need to use a DisplayID extension block to go beyond 655.35 MHz.

Thank you so much ToastyX, that helps a lot. I can finally exceed the limit.
