Has anyone tried to overclock the hz of this monitor and if so how did it go?
Here's a guide i found if someone wants to try it and report back.
Overclocking Quick Start Guide
AMD/ATI Video Cards
1. Use AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher to patch the driver.

2. Use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) to add higher refresh rates.

NVIDIA Video Cards
1. Use NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher to patch the driver (304.48 or later).

2. Use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) or the NVIDIA control panel to add higher refresh rates.

Notes
If you use CRU, make sure "Include extension block" is not checked, and define the higher refresh rate as the first detailed resolution to make games use the higher refresh rate. Keep 2560x1440 @ 59.950 Hz as a secondary detailed resolution for driver updates, otherwise the unpatched driver won't have any resolutions to use.
If you use the NVIDIA control panel instead of CRU, you will need to install a monitor driver to make games use the higher refresh rate: catleap.zip (Install using the Device Manager -> Monitors -> Right-click "Generic PnP Monitor" -> Update Driver Software... -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have Disk... -> Browse for the .inf file -> OK -> Next -> Install this driver software anyway)
"Automatic - LCD standard" (CRU) / "CVT reduced blank" (NVIDIA CP) will allow the video card to clock down when idle. If your monitor can't handle that at 120 Hz, try "Automatic - LCD reduced" (CRU) / copy the settings below (NVIDIA CP). If that doesn't help, you will have to reduce the refresh rate.

.. I might have to upgrade my graphics cards and see if mine can hit 85MHz too.
