Chaintech VNF3-250 Review and Overclocking Guide
@ 2004/08/22The VNF3-250 is a budget board designed with the overclocker in mind. It has most of the necessities that a general user will need, excepting Firewire. The SATA is limited to 2 drives and the NF3-250 chipset used does not have the Gigabit LAN and Nvidia Firewall as found on the NF3-250Gb version. We instead have 10/100 LAN in the form of a Realtek chip that operates off the PCI bus. These "minor" compromises allow the board to be available in the US for about $88.00 and this makes it hard to top in the value arena.
2) would depend on the way the backplate is designed. if it's just tapped holes in a plate, washers should do the trick, if it has tapped tubes you would have to file the screws and tubes down about the amount of the thickness of the center of the heatpreader I guess...
