:sun:My system comfig. is as follows:
PENTIUM-DUAL CORE-D945 processor;
Intel D945GNT MOTHERBOARD;
1 GB DDR2 RAM;
80 GB HDD; 128MB NVIDIA CHIPSET PCI-E CARD;
DVD WRITER (COMBO); COLORSIT-L8030 CABINET WITH TWO ADDITIONAL FANS (1 EACH IN FRONT AND REAR); 17"TFT MONITOR.

On boot up and until 5 minutes, the temperatures as reported by Intel motherboard monitor are as follows:
PROCESSOR ZONE TEMP: 58 TO 63C
ZONE 1 TEMP: 47C
ZONE 2 TEMP: 41C
After around 10 minutes the temp readings are 53 to 56C.
44C and 41C erspectively. The processor zone temp. shoots upto 61C occasionally while working continuously for 2-3 hours.

IS THIS REALLY NORMAL?
ARE THE M.B AND PROCESSOR COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER? IS THE COMPUTER CASE REALLY OK FOR THIS PROCESSOR?

IF NOT, WHAT IS THE CORRECTIVE ACTION I NEED TO TAKE?

Yes, it is really normal. Just be glad you've got a 9xx D instead of an 8xx.

Nothing to worry about.
