I purchased a new logic board on eBay and was planning on replacing it, but decided to first give the machine a real good cleaning first. And see if I found any obvious problems with the "B Heatsink" sensor. While taking it apart I found that it had 3 heat sinks and not just two towers like I had seen on YouTube. The third heat sink is a funny looking thing that I can only describe as having something of a sailboat design. It sits just underneath the ram cage and the cooling coils rise up and butt up against the two main heat sinks. I must have requested that configuration when I purchased the machine from Apple. I just don't remember. That threw me off for a little while but I pressed on and removed all three heat sinks. I then cleaned and re-applied the thermal paste to the processors and heat sink connections. The sensors all looked ok so I just made sure that all the sensor connections were firmly attached, put it all back together, and said a prayer.
Thankfully the machine is now working better than ever. I haven't run the apple hardware test because I misplaced the startup disk that runs it, but I believe the problem has been solved. As soon as I find the disk I will run it. Regardless I now have a smooth quiet machine again, that I believe still has a few years left. I can't thank you both enough for you help. You put me on the right track and ultimately helped me save the machine and a significant amount of money. The machine is now operating on a 500G Solid State Drive installed with a PCI Express card and could not be quieter. I think there is lesson here on not giving up on a computer that is still viable without first making an effort to fix it.
P.S. I decided to keep the extra logic board just in case.
Thanks again
