WARNING: Overclocking your Raspberry Pi 3 voids all warranties on your Pi. Only overclock it if you're willing to accept the risks and possible loss. To date, my Pi is running without issues.

If you have this case and want to overclock your Raspberry Pi, then a good fan is essential. Unfortunately this case doesn't easily support adding active cooling. My 3D printer came to the rescue. At first, I made it a single part in Sketchup and when I tried to find the best way to orient it for the printer, I decided to split it into 2 parts. I concluded that once printed, I would simply glue the pieces together. To my surprise, the tolerences of the parts are that I didn't even have to glue them!. I now run my Pi overclocked with the following settings:

arm_frequency = 1400
over_voltage = 4
gpu_frequency = 450
*setting may not work for all Pi 3s. Customise these settings specific to your Pi.

Since my memory doesn't have a heat sink, I'm hesitant to tweak memory frequency.
