I couldn't find the Sunon 60mm KD1206PTV1 listed on any site here in the US. Even if I could I'm not sure how I would attach it to the NB heatsink as it measures about 35x35mm and my motherboard is in a case.

I've had bad luck with my Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500. I've isolated my problem to one module that won't pass Memtest+86 v1.70 at DDR2-1067. The other stick ran fine for over 5 hours.

While I was testing I checked the NB temperature and it got as high as 51c. While running Orthos my load MB temperature has got as high as 48c. I need to find some kind of solution.

I flashed my BIOS to 0311 and it was almost the same harrowing experience as when I tried 0307. I again got the bad checksum when I booted. This time I cleared the CMOS as per manual, F1 to the BIOS, loaded my defaults and booted. I flashed the 0311 BIOS again as I noticed several setting messed up. That must have done the trick as it is now booting properly.
