POLL: Overclockable SCSI cards

I have been having a problem with the following system:

Mobo: MSI Pro2-A
CPU: Duron 650 @ 800 (8x mult)
CPU Cooler: Chrome ORB
RAM: 384MB Mushkin PC133
SCSI: Adaptec 2930U
CD-ROM: Toshiba
CD-RW: Yamaha 8824SZ (uses SCSI card)

I have overclocking this system using the multipler and getting 800MHz easy. If I go to 8.5x, the system won't even boot, just beeps over and over. I am guessing I need a better cooler. So I started to up the FSB and can get up to 106 fine. However, my SCSI CD-RW craps out at that point and will only burn at lower speeds. I had a Tekram DC-315U in there before and Yamaha & Tekram said that was the problem. I switched to Adaptec and I still cannot burn at 8x when I O/C via the FSB. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Anyone else have problems with their SCSI cards when overclocking? Any other SCSI cards work well in an overclocked system?
 
tekram 395u at 43mhz no prob on my bp6 but at 44 it would get probs occsaionally with not recognizing the CDRW.
