Does FSB affect scsi adapter?

[Jgtdragon]

Hi all,
I am about to get an adapter 29160 scsi card. Just wonderng if I raise the FSB on my motherboard, will it affect it? Will a scsi adapter hold me back on overclocking my system?
I also heard some people ruin their harddrive from high FSB. WIll it be safe to FSB on an expensive scsi Harddrive?

Thanks,

Anything plugging into the PCI/ISA slots will OC with the FSB. However, mobos usually come with an adjustable divisor to compensate - but in some cases, only at certain FSB speeds.

So for example, at say a FSB speed of 100, the PCI slot will be divided by 1/3 to give you 33Mhz, its normal operating speed. Increase that FSB and the PCI goes up because the divisor will still be 1/3. The chipsets that allow a 1/4 divisor will let you drop it back down but you would't want to do that too soon if you go over 100.

At 133, you can invoke the 1/4 to bring the PCI bus back into spec.

The issue with hard drives fscking up is real (maybe not physically but the OS gets corrupted)... Some perpherals like vid cards, net cards, controllers and/or hard drives just can't handle going too far out of spec.
