Is it better to plug a case fan into the motherboard or the power supply and what happens if you connect it to both?
if the motherboard is designed for the case fan you are using its best to plug it into the motherboard, this will free up a spot on the power supply. Otherwise as long as the voltage and amps are the same it doesn't really matter. If you try to plug it into both you will double the power of the fan and very likely fry the fan.

Where is the CPU fan located there are two fans need to know which one to replace when computer says CPU fan not working?
This message is generated by your motherboard's BIOS. The alert is referring to your CPU Cooler's fan which is located towards the top of your motherboard. There could be a smaller fan located in the middle section of your motherboard but that is your Northbridge chipset. It’s also possible someone has plugged in a case fan into your CPU fan header (the power plug for your CPU fan) so be sure to check your case fans as well.
Does the power supply provide power to a CPU fan or case fan?

Is the CPU found on the motherboard?
The CPU is not part of the motherboard but it is placed on the motherboard. The CPU is squared and about a quarter inch square in size. It is placed in the CPU socket. A heatsink/fan is placed on top of the CPU to keep the CPU cool which makes it pretty hard to see because the heatsink/fan covers it when it is in a working computer.
