I figured it was a pin contact issue on the ex-board. Ordered a 2 inch long 40 pin male to female IDE cable. Plugged the card into the cable, cable into the board, game is firing up without issue every time now. It absolutely refused to work if the cart was plugged directly into the ex-board.
On the issue of cooling I run it with the top off with a fan setting on a corner. Works pretty good. I meant to put a fan inside but never did.
