Hello
@zypher
Your laptop has an HDMI 2.0 port. It doesn't matter if your laptop screen is 120hz. It's to do with your gpu supporting it or not. You can use HDMI to dual-DVI cable to get 144Hz, or use DP to HDMI 2.0 cable for 165Hz. Your monitor supports 165Hz only by using DP input.

Hi @zypher for higher frequencies a Display Port (DP) port may be required as long as the graphics card, driver and monitor allow it.

Can i use a usb type c to Dp
Can i use a usb type c to Dp @LunaNova14
Yes. Adapters and Adapter cables are used to connect DisplayPort over USB Type-C to an HDMI/VGA input on the HDTV. If the HDTV has a DisplayPort input, then a USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter cable can be used to provide DisplayPort display capability.
