I don't know it's a lie or not but it does sounds fishy. If they can change the motherboard why not change the whole thing? Changing X360 motherboard is possible but it require some skills plus you have to 'sync' the new motherboard with the DVD drive. Too much hassle, if you really want a falcon trade your zephyr for a new one.
Even ACE Prangin, which I view as 'tech savvy' after Mario Komtar didn't know about the existence of the falcon chip when I asked them ....
I have a falcon with BenQ drive (Yes!) but still after 1-2 hour of playing the console gets pretty hot and sometimes there's noise.

The difference is that when 360 gets hot, the solder melts.

I don't think pointing a fan at the console is a good idea, especially if you point it at the vents. IMO you'll waste more electric instead of preventing RROD.
