PROCESSOR COMPATIBILITY

Please advice whether Intel Pentium D945 processor is compatible with Intel D945GNT motherboard. Intel's website does not explicitly mention that they are compatible or not but my hardeware vendor insists that they are compatible.
I am having my doubts since the processor zone temperature at idle is 53C and climbs to a max. of 63C (as reported by motherboard monitor). A replacement motherboard was installed since the earlier motherboard's capacitors were getting hot. Please advice if the temperature is ok and what are the figures people have figured out.

Yes they are compatible.

However, you have a Pentium D, quite possible the hottest running CPU in many years.

So unless you plan to switch to a better-than-stock cooler, it's gonna get cozy.
 
Thank you for your reply, n7.
Can you please advice me on the various cooling options available for me such as going in for a better case-please advice me on the cabinets(brand) and stuff like this so that a permanent solution can be found.
Thanks in advance.
