CHAINTECH - Chaintech Zenith ZNF3-150 nForce3 Motherboard Review

January 6th 2004 | Hardware

PCStats reviews the nForce3-150 powered Chaintech Zenith ZNF3-150:

Built with a nice black-coloured PCB under the top of the line ‘Zenith’ brand, the Chaintech ZNF3-150 is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to bundled goodies. This board comes with it all; everything from a heatpipe MOSFET cooling system to rounded cables and even a port card. Based on nVIDIA’s nForce3 150 chipset, the ZNF3-150 supports the Socket 754 flavour of AMDs Athlon64 processor series which has a much brighter future than the doomed socket 904 AthlonFX chip.

. . . It should be pretty clear by now that if you’re looking for a top of the line Athlon64 motherboard the Chaintech Zenith ZNF3-150 easily delivers. The Zenith ZNF3-150 is a very well rounded motherboard, and with a retail price of $240 CDN ($180 US) you’d have to expect a speedy board with a lot of features. In terms of onboard goodies, the Zenith ZNF3-150 has Serial ATA/Serial ATA RAID and an additional IDE controller, IEEE 1394, Gigabit LAN and VIA’s new Envy24PT 7.1 soundcard.Chaintech also include a decent software bundle that includes Pro-Magic, Image It and Norton Anti Virus. Along with the long list of bundled goodies (rounded cables, CBox3 5 1/4″ utility drive bay, etc.) there is the very unique Radex MOSFET cooling accessory.
