[ale] interesting CPU fan issue

Today I noticed, promptly at 3pm, that a CPU fan in one of my remote
boxes went from it's normal 3500 rpm to zero rpms.  However, CPU temp
and motherboard temp have remained in the same range (48c - 53c and 41c
- 43c respectively) as they have been for the longest time.  Every now
and then the CPU fan jumps up to ~2800 rpms for a few seconds, then
drops back to zero.   Sounds to me like the CPU fan has issues and needs
to be replaced... except why hasn't CPU temperature even shown the
slightest (greater than avg) spike?   

Any ideas?  Thoughts?
