What about calculating in the increase of hardware errors?
The overclock is actually more efficient:
300 = 12.0MH/s @ 473w (39.4 watts per MH)
328 = 13.5MH/s @ 512w (37.9 watts per MH)
360 = 15.5MH/s @ 568w (36.6 watts per MH)
Edit: Tests performed with an 850W 80+ Bronze PSU.
Did you do a side by side to compare efficiency? Make sure the OC is worth it

Bumped my Black Widow clocks to 360 and I'm now getting 15.5MH/s. More HW errors and power consumption went up of course...

Man those numbers are high.
I am doing 10mh at 167 watts on 2 gridseed blades and 1 gridseed 5 chip . and one of the gridseed blades is defective . I should be doing 11.0mh
but I have a 1200 watt plat seasonic which is more efficient then your psu. still you are 3.4x the power for 1.5 x the hash
Something is wrong with the firmware these miner should be at much lower numbers.
I am doing 16.7 watts an mh with the gridseeds
