Intel D945GCLF desktop board

If you just want flashing instructions, go to - ../install/d945gclf.html + ../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 is a mini-itx desktop board for 2008.

- 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. + The D945GCLF2 is an upgraded version of this board.

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. +
