Total noob here.  Could you please provide a step by step guide to overclocking the S3. Thanks.

Download putty from here first. http://www.putty.org/
Open it and put your antminer ip address.
Put root as username and password when asked.
Then, type and enter the below.
Code:
vim /etc/config/asic-freq
vim is a text file editor. The asic-freq file is opened now.
Type
Code:
i
and comment by putting # in the default values and uncomment by removing # from the frequency set(freq_value,chip_freq,timeout) you want to set.
Type
Code:
!wq
to save and exit the file.
Type the below now and close putty. Restart Antminer S3 and you are running now at the new frequency.

Thanks for the help.  I was able to login via putty and get the screen with the freq values.  However, not sure where on the screen to type the "i" and "!wq" commands.
