*You could get quiter fans.

If I get quiter fans, how can I do this, if the actual problem is from the motherboard? Can you really remove a fan from the motherboard and maybe replace it with a heat sink instead?

You can remove a fan and replace it with a quiter fan on the cpu.

On the northbridge hsf you can replace that with a heatsink.

*You could get a fan controller for your fans to quiten them down.

Where would I get one and would this be easy to install?

You can get one from a computer shop,yes it is childs play to do it.
(plug fan controller power cable into a psu cable and then plug your fans onto the conectors on the fan controller,screw fan controller into one of your drive bays,turn computer on,turn your fans down/up with the knobs/buttons.

Im picking the computer is still under some sort of warranty, and for you to do the work yourself (and possibly make a mistake) would null and void any type of warranty.
