just follow the wire from the noisy fan and remove it.
then remove the fan, flip it over and lift the specs sticker. under it you should find a plastic cap.
remove it and put 1 drop of machine oil (not 3 in 1) in it. close the cap and refit the fan. plug it back in and see if its still making a noise. if so remove it and bin it.

if you cant figure out which is the noisy 1 by tracing the wire then just pull 1 of them if the noise is still there plug the lead back in and pull the other.

The thing is, there are two fans and I don't know which one is making the noise. It's hard to say. Also, there are two different cables that aren't actually coming from the fans but are related to fans I think. I've been checking pictures online since hardware is blocking my view now.

I had to ask this simple question because manual wasn't clear to me. "HP_PWR_PCH/HP_PWR (Chipset Heatsink Fan Header)
The power connector provides power to the fan on the Chipset heatsink."

I thought it actually provides power to the CPU cooler thing.
