Just as an update - for any who may come across this and have same issue.
I ordered a premium Lindy DisplayPort Cable as a last resort - and BAM...overclocked monitor to 100Hz perfectly!!
My boot up time to windows even seemed much faster (may be a placebo effect but still)
So after all that, it was a DisplayPort cable. Crazy, because I used the manufacturers AND 2 other cables. So they were ALL bad.
Last one I had in there was a DP certified one as well..heh.

I read your post before this one and was going to say it had to be the Cable. That Monitor running at 100hz needs data speeds that are 4k so I assume you have a newer 1.3 or 1.4 DP cable now? My biggest question would be, was the cable provided not working or did they mistakenly not provide a DP cable in this one?

I purchased a Lindy 4K Gold cable, cost me $119aud. Well worth it though surely cheaper cables would do. I am at peace now, perfect monitor - hardly any visible BLB, zero dead pixels and no whine or scanlines etc.*
This cable is DP certified. Runs 1.2, no indication of 1.3 or 1.4, I am not sure those revisions exist?

Thanks man, great to see that chart. This cable has proven excellent so far, very impressed with monitor.
Strangely, I was recently getting POST hangs in BIOS with code b4. I had thought maybe it was my USB hub and was going to deactivate USB initialization...but..since I have installed this new cable - PC boots up crazy quick and no longer hangs.
Still cannot believe how a bad displayport cable could cause such a myriad of issues! Great learning experience!

Hi...i am a new user here. I have one query for my case the Monitor running at 100hz needs data speeds that are 4k so It should have a newer 1.3 or 1.4 DP cable now? If the cable provided not working or did they mistakenly not provide a DP cable in this one?

Oh man...you totally just solved my issue i think....I just realized that is probably why my PC freezes in the ASUS BIOS screen during post sometimes (like 1 in 10 boots). It makes sense now because every once in a while I get a flicker on my screen while running at 165hz. I knew it was the cable on the flicker but I didn't even think about it fixing my POST BIOS issue....I'm going to change my cable tonight.
