I have new intel 945gtp motherboard with Pentium D processor 606 with 1 gb DDR2 ram. The t case temp is 40-65 in idle condition. Pls give a solution
A) I would use the Intel Pentium D, model D820.
It's a Dual Core processor with 2MegaByte of L2 cache, and an 800MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (800MHz FSB)
I would also use PC2-6400 ram memory, (DDR2 Sdram at 800MHz)
Using PC2-5300 (DDR2 Sdram at 667MHz) is taxing on the Processor.
If you are using an Intel Pentium D, model D506. It's maximum Front Side Bus is 533MHz. I would NOT use DDR2 Sdram at 667MHz.
Also is taxing on the Processor.
Why?
Primer:
The cache for a Processor is the FIRST memory area, the Processor accesses.
(L1, and L2 for the processors you named. Newer models have an L3 cache also)
It is a small memory area for the processor, and operates at the same frequency rate as the processor does.
(Frequency Rate = 'Speed')
The next memory area the Processor accesses is the Ram Memory.
Ram Memory typically operates at HALF of the FSB of the Processor.
With a D820 you are making the processor's FSB support Step Down, to use the 667MHz ram memory.
With the D506 you are making the processor's FSB support Step Up, to use the 667MHz ram memory.

More work for the Processor = More Heat
B) Next, how you applied the new Thermal Paste.
Notice I stated N-E-W.
This is because thermal paste can dry up, and also loose it's thermal conductivity properties.
Don't skimp in this area. Thermal paste is C-H-E-A-P!
C) What kind of thermal paste did you use?
Primer:
The thermal paste that has real silver in it, is an Excellent thermal paste, BUT needs to be applied properly.
Why?
Because silver is an excellent conductor of ELECTRICITY, as well as heat.
If too much is applied the excess will ooze off, once the Processor reaches operating temperature.
Means the thermal paste will ooze down off of the Processor, onto any solder joints it can reach, AND the contact pins of the Processor.
This can cause a Short Circuit. May just cause overheating until the wrong solder joints, or processor pins are reached, by the oozing thermal paste.

Proper cleaning of the top of the Processor, and bottom of the Heatsink
The old thermal paste, or thermal pad, needs to be THOROUGHLY removed. Use a plastic scraper
(Old credit card, or one you got in the mail? "Now you too can have a XXXXXX credit card!" Bah, sheesh!)
Scrape off as much as you can. Then use Q-tips dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol. (Rubbing alcohol)
I use 91 percent, (91 percent alcohol, and 9 percent water)
You can use 70 percent, but I do NOT recommend 50 percent.
(50 percent alcohol, and 50 percent WATER)
CAUTION!!!!
Isopropyl Alcohol is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!!
Use in a WELL ventilated area with NO sparks or flames present!
Takes a LOT of alcohol dipped Q-tips. The top of the Processor, and bottom of the Heatsink, needs to be THOROUGHLY cleaned.
Clean enough you could literally eat off of it. (But DON'T)
D) When you put the Heatsink/Fan combo on the Processor, did you hold the motherboard in the air, and look across the motherboard with a 'birds eye view', at how the Heatsink is sitting on the Processor?
CANNOT be tilted. Has to have the entire Heatsink area, sitting flat on top of the Processor. If you can see ANY, daylight in-between the top of the Processor, and bottom of the Heatsink, START OVER.
E) What kind of Heatsink/Fan combo are you using? May be too small for the job, or not the correct one.
F) Does the computer tower have plenty of room around it? You are supposed to have at least 3 Inches of room, all around the computer case. In your instance I would use more.
G) Taking the side cover of the computer case off, to help cool the Processor. This = NO, unless you have an external fan blo-wing air into the open case.
By taking the cover off you are decreasing the cooling power, of the computer case fans.
The Intel Pentium D, model 820 can use up to 95 Watts of power.
At that maximum wattage usage, the maximum allowed temperature
is 64.1 degrees Celsius.
You are correct. Shouldn't be at 65 degrees Celsius just loafing. (Idle)

NO ! you can only use DDR 1 ram (266Mhz,333Mhz,400Mhz) speeds only
If the motherboard you bought did not come with a processor and heatsink, you will have to take the one from your current system and put them in the new one. You will also need thermal paste for this transfer, so please purchase some if you do not have it already.
Keep in mind that no versions of Windows XP can use more than 4 GB of RAM, and only the 64-bit version of Windows Vista can correctly use it. If you are still intent on replacing the board after knowing this, follow these directions.
You're going to want to be very careful with this kind of procedure. Ensure that everything is unplugged and that you are working in a static free environment. (Not on the carpet!)
First, you'll want to take out the power supply. Follow the cables down, and disconnect them from each of the components it powers. The connections for the motherboard will have retention clips, so be careful. Once you have the connections undone, take a screwdriver and remove the power supply from the case.
Next, look to see if the hard drives hover over the board in any way. If they are not in the way, try not to remove them. We want as little re-assembly as possible.
You're going to want to disconnect the cables for the hard drive(s) next. Remove them from the motherboard, keeping an eye on which cables went where. The same goes for the cables from your DVD/CD drive(s).
Next, take a look at what's connected to your board. Are there any expansion cards? If so, unscrew them from the back of the machine, and carefully lift them out. If there is a videocard in the machine, watch for a retention clip - make sure not to force the card out.
After everything is out, look around. Make sure that there are no fans connected from the case to the board, and if there are, unplug them. Lastly, take the wires running from the front of the case to the bottom area of the board, and disconnect them. Please notice if there are labels on them.. you will need to hook them up according to your new board's arrangement.
Once you're sure that nothing else is connected to the board, start unscrewing it from the side of the case. On most boards, there will be six screws for this. Please make sure you get them all. Once this is done, you can lift the old one out. Most people do this by pulling up on the heatsink fan over their processor. I also suggest lifting by the sides of the board itself. It may tug where the back panel with the keyboard/mouse/USB ports are.. Just lift the board on the upper right side and angle it out if it does.
Once you have the old board out, set it somewhere safe. Remove the heatsink. This will be a forceful procedure.. You'll need to lift the rentention clip and lift it off.. Wipe the old thermal paste from the bottom of the heatsink. Go back to the board, and lift the small lever that is next to the processor. You should be able to lift it out, be very careful with the bottom!
Clean the processor, and get the excess thermal paste off. Lift the retention bracket next to the socket of the new board, carefully lining the processor up and setting it down gently. Lower the bracket.
Apply a small bit of thermal paste to the processor. Spread it evenly, making sure there are no gaps or globs. Take the heatsink, align it with the socket, and gently lower it on top of the processor. Lock the heatsink back down, and let it set for a bit to get the air bubbles worked out from the paste. Make sure you connect the fan in the heatsink to the board!
If the metal shield around your keyboard/mouse/USB ports matches your new board, you can leave it in. Otherwise, replace it with the one that came with your new board. Look at how the screws line up with the newer board.. If it matches the gold posts (standoffs) in your case, then you can lower the board back in the same way you lifted the old one out, and gently set it down. It will take some work to get it properly aligned with that metal shield.
Once you have it set down, begin to screw the board down. Make sure ALL of the holes are filled - you don't want anything to short out. Begin with the wires from the front of the case. They are called "front panel" connections, and a guide to hooking them up should be in your motherboard's manual.
Connect the fans back up to the board, and reinstall the power supply, reversing the directions I gave earlier. Leave out the extra expansion cards for now, and if the board has a video port near the keyboard/mouse, leave out the videocard, too. If it doesn't have its own video port, go ahead and put your card back in. Install the RAM.
Connect the power connections from the power supply back up to the board, hard drives, and DVD/CD drives. Take the cables from those drives and reconnect them to your new board. From here, you should be able to turn the system on.
Your system WILL freak out. There is new hardware attached, and it won't have the drivers. Just cancel when it tries to look for them, and then run the CD that came with the motherboard to get everything installed and working. Once you're sure everything's going to be working alright, turn off the machine and reinstall the extra cards.
This is a very bland guide. If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.

As you probably know 3 long beeps on an Intel motherboard is memory failure. Even if RAM is good your Motherboard may have problems in reading your ram module.
If you are using a PCI or AGP video card try also removing and putting back video card, video adapters use shared RAM and can give you troubles with RAM.
Always perform all maintainance on motherboard with power unplugged and avoid to touch contacts and circuits with your finger.
If the 1GB module is new, verify with seller that your motherboard support this memory, some motherboard do not support double density RAM.

Well first of all, there is no "adapter". You have to use the specified RAM that you motherboard supports. Secondly, even if there was an adapter so to speak, it would not be beneficial. The only difference performance wise between DDR and DDR2 is speed. So if your motherboard supports DDR, and you had an "adapter", your motherboard would only read the DDR2 at DDR speed. In my opinion, DDR2 is not really worth the upgrade to another motherboard just for DDR2. If you want the biggest bang for your buck, upgrade the CPU, or put more memory in the motherboard you already have. Hope this helps, and please don't forget to rate. Thanks.

The Motherboard is Intel D945GTP-D945plm. I use 1GB DDR2Ram 667Mhz with processor Pentium D820 or D506 which are compatible with board as I downloaded the processor list from Intel site. I use thermal paste and new intel Fan, the cpu temp starts at 45 deg C and reaches to 60 to 65 deg C in idle conditions. I checked with 2 other boards and 2 other processors. On all the boards the temp problem exists. It is a Canada make. Can u suggest me any solution for this?
