- This board is a mini-itx desktop board for 2008. It uses an atom
-230, which is a singe core CPU but it is hyperthreaded so it appears to
-have 2 thread to the OS. The flash chip is very small, 512KiB, so grub2
-does not fit, which is why libreboot has to use seabios on this target.
-Full disk encryption like on other supported targets will not be
-possible, so plan accordingly.
- </p>
- <p>
- This board has a 945gc chipset which is the desktop equivalent of
-945gm which can be found in the Lenovo x60/t60 or macbook2,1. This
-chipset features an ICH7 southbridge. It has 1 DIMM slot that can
-accommodate up to 2G of DDR2 RAM.
- </p>
- <p>
- Connectivity-wise it has 1 PCI slot, a 10/100 ethernet port, 4
-usb slot and 4 usb ports, with one internal header and 2 SATA ports.
- </p>
- <p>
- The D945GCLF2 is an upgraded version of this board. The
-differences are: 1 more USB header, 10/100/1000 ethernet and a dual core
- cpu (also hyperthreaded). Since the board is almost identical (and
-coreboot code seem to indicate that it works, since MAX_CPU=4 is set),
-it is believed that it should also work but this is untested.
- </p>
- <h2>
- Remarks about vendor bios:
- </h2>
- <ul>
- <li>Without coreboot/libreboot this board is utery useless, since the
-vendor bios is very bad. It cannot boot from any HDD wether it is
-connected to the SATA port or USB. With libreboot it works just fine.</li>
- <li>The vendor bios write protects the flash so it requires external
-flashing to install libreboot on this device. Once libreboot is flashed
-there is no problem to update the firmware internally</li>
- </ul>

- <h2>How to replace thermal paste and fan</h2>
- <p>
- This board comes with very crappy disposable loud fan, that one has no bearings,
-which can not be repaired or oiled properly, do not waste your time trying to fix it, just buy one chinese same size fan<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141620.jpg" width="50%" height="50%">
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141614.jpg" width="50%" height="50%">
- <br/>
- Make sure that new one has same wiring<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_142618.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- This is a new one, with bearing and maintenable<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141738.jpg" width="50%" height="50%">
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141814.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- Now remove the both coolers rotating them a bit, slowly, then clean both silicons
-and both coolers (removing cmos battery first is recommended)<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141601.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- Put a little bit of non conductive thermal paste on both silicons (only cpu silicon iis shown on that image)<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_142031.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- <p>Before assembling new fan, some need new longer screws, make sure having these (on the left is original one, too short for new fan)<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141659.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- After that, assemble your new fan into CPU cooler<br/>
- <img alt="" src="../images/d945gclf/20160923_141635.jpg" width="50%" height="50%"><br/>
- Finally assemle both coolers on both chips, do not forget put in the CPU fan connector back, and you are done.
