Buy a good aftermarket cpu cooler, yes, the old pentium d cpu runs very hot.

Usually the pentium d has the safe temp around 60C.

OMG, I also have that old Intel D101GGC board but the board I'm using is revision D35788-305.
I put in a Pentium D 945 CPU which has a TDP rating of 95w and using an Intel copper core cooler (forgot the PN for it). Only board revision D35788-308 & greater of the D101GGC board with latest BIOS can safely handle all the higher Pentium Ds including 945 & 950 as noted on Intel's web site:

ALSO use a high quality PSU like Seasonic, Corsair or even Antec. I've used the Antec Basiq BP500U power supply (it's a 500 watt) with the Intel Pentium D 945 CPU on the Intel D101GGC board and it's been running smoothly.
