CHAINTECH - Chaintech VNF3-250 NF3-250 Motherboard Review

OCWorkbench reviews the Chaintech VNF3-250 NF3-250 (NVIDIA nForce3 250) motherboard:

Chaintech has long been known for building reliable enthusiast motherboards and video cards.. ..The very latest is their “value” version of NVidia’s latest single chip solution, the NForce3-250. This is not the NF3-250Gb. The Gb version incorporates a Gigabit Lan and hardware firewall. Chaintech has, in the past, packed a nice bunch of “extras” in their MB boxes. These range anywhere from color coordinated rounded cables, card readers, SATA power adapters, etc, to software packages worthy of honorable mention…Today, we look at a new version of accessories also.

…In conclusion, I’d have to say this board stand as one of the most OC-friendly boards I’ve ever used. The BIOS is more than adequate. The FSB is actually adjustable all the way up to 400! Simply a great board for finding the limits of all your OTHER hardware. I not only found the limit of my ram but the CPU as well. The board, even with it’s lack of multiplier adjustment, never limited me in my overclocking attempts. It was stable in all tests…only twice failing SuperPi 32M test, only because the RAM timings were a tad too tight…
Overall Rating : 8.5
