Intel D945GCLF desktop board

- -

- Back to previous index -

- -

- If you just want flashing instructions, go to - ../install/d945gclf.html -

- -

- 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. -

- 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. -

- 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. -

- 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. -

- Remarks about vendor bios: -

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.
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

How to replace thermal paste and fan

- 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
- - -
- Make sure that new one has same wiring
-
- This is a new one, with bearing and maintenable
- -
- Now remove the both coolers rotating them a bit, slowly, then clean both silicons -and both coolers (removing cmos battery first is recommended)
-
- Put a little bit of non conductive thermal paste on both silicons (only cpu silicon iis shown on that image)
-
-

Before assembling new fan, some need new longer screws, make sure having these (on the left is original one, too short for new fan)
-
- After that, assemble your new fan into CPU cooler
-
- Finally assemle both coolers on both chips, do not forget put in the CPU fan connector back, and you are done. -
