Every time I boot up my comp I get this message "System Fan Has Failed! Press <F2> to continue". I know whats causing it, cause I don't have my exhaust fan hooked up to the mobo, it's hooked up to the psu cause it only has a psu connectorIs there any way to disable that? cause it's very annoying..

Yup. Look in the BIOS.
I might be able to be more precise if you provided a motherboard model.

You might find the manual for MSI's base version of that board useful in the future.

I can't see any way to disable monitoring of the System fan either.
However, I've got a solution for you - get a fan which has a motherboard connector.

If there's a setting then it would be in the PC Health Status section.

Lynx: I'm not buying another fan! btw your link doesn't work!

Thanks for that link VB, I wonder if there's a way to trick the mobo into thinking there is a "system fan" hooked up to it there there isn't

I reckon it's possible you could short it, with a resistor in the circuit.
Not sure which pins go where, or what resistor you need, tho'.
Get a potentiometer?
Still doesn't let you know what to short, tho'.
.
Shorting the pins doesn't usually work, the pins are linked to a counter which signals an alarm if it doesn't get a minimum number of inputs per second, but that may vary on some motherboards.
Alternatively the counter may need connecting to power, again via a suitable resistor, but don't blame me if it blows your motherboard.
Just in case it does work the pins are:
1) Ground - Black
2) Power - Red
3) Counter - Yellow
You should be able to work out which is which by looking at the CPU fan connector.
