Loud Fan - Logic board and one of the capacitor bad?

I have an issue with the fans spinning full speed after SMB reset. Otherwise the run fine but CPU only runs half speed.

So... slow ecu or Loud fans are my choice here. Should I resolder the pins on the capacitors?

Thank you so much.

Update 11/15/17

I have installed SSD in place of optical drive and reused the temp sensor so its on the SSD now.

When I do Hard reset the Imac will run on Full Blast, but when I do P R reset the fans quiet down and i can control them by software but the CPU runs only half speed!
