Yes, your fan seems to be getting too much juice. There are different voltages on different boards and parts of boards. There is no reason why your fan should be running faster. They might not have the proper settings on the boards, although that is usually automatic these days. The era of hand-setting motherboard jumpers has pretty well passed.What are the specs on your unit, i.e. CPU brand, model, and speed; motherboard brand; RAM, etc. It sounds like things aren't set up right or that the new motherboard is defective. More likely defective computer techs.
If the new motherboard has on-board video, it should have settings that go beyond 1280 X 768. Is your LCD of the wide-screen variety? If so, that could account for the fuzziness. It should be set to 1280 X 800 or something similar.
How well do you know the people who worked on the computer and how long did it take them to replace the motherboard? Sounds like you've gotten some bad service to me.
What do you other guys think?
