Rule of thumb...no more than 10%.

I've had success running an old 310N unit at 330MHz....that's with a heat sink and a low cfm (quiet) fan.

Actually...I didn't quantify it with numbers...but there was a noticeable improvement on throughput with the extra 30MHz....I ran this unit in a church sanctuary for quite some time...as many as 50 users at a time...no major complaints...I was one of those users...so I saw the improved throughput personally.
