Early 2008 iMac HDD Fan 0 rpm

airport card: 88
ambient: 65 (more 70)
gpu: 113

gpu heatsink: 113

started few months ago. mac out of warranty. shortly after went out of warranty started having issues screen (wouldn't boot , had grey screen vertical bars) , apple had replace gpu. started having issues screen noticed 1 of fans running loud. thinking problem related, got gpu replaced. still have loud fan, i'm not sure how many fans particular machine has. istat shows 1 fan not running , maxed out. issue facing before go open computer? i'm looking replace hard drive here ssd , i'm thinking i'll take care of fan @ same time.

i've noticed people's fan problems being logic board. part can purchase myself somewhere? i've tried looking (some) haven't had luck. help.
 

i managed find more info logic board , decided if problem fans logic board, i'll have live fast fans. i've used every fan control app , can't slow down. seems odd 1 reports 0 rpm , other maxed out.
