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.
