Why did you flash the firmware? Did you have any issues before?
Look at this thread, overclocking S3 batch 6 with stock firmware to freq 262.5

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I just updated my firmware as well. to the s3+ firmware

I dont see any issues

Got a slight increase in GH/s

No x's

I have both a s3 and s3+

my s3 runs 44C
my s3 runs 42c

And my s3 performs more average GH than my s3+ My s3 was the last batch before the s3+

Any updates on how using the s3+ benefitted on your machine?

237.5 mhz is the best frec for a S3, mine are runing cold (39 - 40) : hashrate 450 - 460

won't overclocking damage and destroy the miner?

won't overclocking damage and destroy the miner?

If done properly no.   You slowly go up and base it on your mining area heat.  You do not want ton's of heat from OC gear.

But if you do it wrong and just OC the crap out of it yes you can destroy chips, which hurts miner.
