Monitor Degradation? Is my OC safe?

So basically I used CRU to overclock my monitor to 75hz, I had to use LCD Reduced mode (which lowers pixel clock, because otherwise it was unstable).

I remember being able to overclock with factory pixel clocks to 70-74hz before, now after months of using a reduced pixel clock, my monitor only overclocks to about 65-66hz.

Weird thing is, monitor works just fine at 75hz with the reduced pixel clock, no frame skipping and I saw artifacts only once (which was weird, never happened again after that).

So, is this degradation? Should I be safe to keep running at 75hz on a lower pixel clock, or should I just leave everything at stock?

I searched everywhere to read some more about monitor overclocking and pixel clocks but found nothing.

So I just downloaded Toasty's Pixel Patcher and I'm now able to get 74hz without changing timings at all, I'm guessing I should be fine?
