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.
