RE: 12v Computer Power Supply?

While it's possible you have found a motherboard designed for mobile applications that runs on a single 12v supply, I guarantee you there is a switching regulator fed directly from that 12v producing all the required voltages.

No processor core or memory these days runs directly from 12v. Some PCI cards also take in 12v as it's convenient from a drive connector. But again, it's feeding a switching regulator on the board.
