Your text is difficult to follow.

Your boiler is rated at 27.6kW output and you have fitted three new radiators which puts on extra load - it is also winter which puts on more extra load.

It may be that your expanded system is too much for the boiler to cope with.

Have you balanced the radiators after the upgrade? Can you get each radiator hot by selectively closing off all the others?
Have you adjusted the speed of the circulating pump?
What is the temperature differential between flow and return at the boiler

To solve your problem you need to follow the heat.

The PCB control board is unlikely to be causing your cold spots.

Good Luck...
