At least you know you can push them.
Did the reject rate stay low?

Overclocking is easy enough with v3 firmware on bitmaintech website. The v3 has a pull down menu for speeds. There is an s3 support page somewhere around here and someone will know whats going on if you don't.
Installed the latest FW on my used b1 and shortly after noticed the fans were louder than usual.  Checked status and found it hashing at 500GH/s -- yikes!  Found the clock menu and it provides no options between stock and 500GH/s, so am back to 441 GH/s and reading through the support thread!  At least, status wasn't indicating HW issues Smiley!
Before seeing your post, I retried the 500GH/s clock and looked more closely.  The ASIC status display was OK, but then I realized the HW count was growing kinda fast.  Calculated it out and dropped the speed back to stock again.  500GH/s appears too high for it, though can probably reach something a little more modest.  Unfortunately, appears I can't access other o/c values via Windows, only via Linux Sad!
