I just got some new OCZ5331024ELDCPE-K , Thanks to sean.

It seems that when I run the memory in a single mode or in dual channel mode. When ran with memtest86 for about an hour and a half.

The ram gets so hot that, It cannt be held. It would burn your skin. Not a major burn, just somjthing that would make you loose sensations hwere it was burnt.
 
Well these are TCC5 and they do run hot. You should seriously think about getting some active cooling like 90mm/120mm or 2x80mm fans to cool it.
 
agreed. Active cooling is the way to go in my opinion, even if the ram doesn't need it.
