If the (single!) PSU fan is triggered by big heat from a CPU in the way of 
his air, one of the three central fan pairs should have got triggered to 
high speed too, and the second fan of the same PSU too.

So the heat source (if ever, may be a failing sensor only) seems for me to 
be a local defect in one of the two PSUs.
