If nothing else helps to find the culprit, then consider to unplug all
case fans to prove that it's not them.
A bit more adventurous is to run the CPU without fan for a few seconds.
(I assume from your fan list that it is a larger box where such
manipulations are feasible.)
Have a nice day :)

Unplugging the chassis fans would make it easier to focus on the CPU
fans, but all the fans should be operating with the chassis closed
before applying any significant load. (Or, at least the CPU fans, an
open chassis, and a good floor fan.)
With my Intel motherboards, if I power up and the CPU fan is unplugged
or not rotating (e.g. blocked by wires), the firmware will detect this
during POST and halt the CPU.
